Hello from NC!

[Vercer]

Hello there, a new pipe smoker here having switched from cigarettes a little over a week ago. So far I'm keeping it simple with a Mississipi Meerschaum corn cob while I learn about different pipes and styles as well as tobaccos.

I currently hail from north central NC, between Greensboro and Winston Salem and am 35 years old. I have some vague memories of my grandfather smokinga pipe when I was very small, perhaps the reason I'm making the move myself.

Having lurked around the site a bit the last couple of days I've slready learned a fair bit and look forward to exploring this new hobby with you all.

then i won't tell you that i had the complete soundtrack and would fall asleep to it, light saber in hand, drifting off to glorious dreams of intergalactic conquest....

I'm good with the SW soundtrack, just the music in that club was annoying....

So far only the two tobacco's, both common mass market stuff. Captain Black Gold, which I quite liked and Middleton's Cherry blend that I'm kinda "meh" on. Smokeable but wouldn't run out for it in a hurry again.

Looking at Peterson I think when I finally get a "real" pipe. Trying to keep the cost reasonable to start as I have a bad habit of allowing my hobbies to break the bank.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

from experience, I can recommend the Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipes. Great smokers, and most for < $10. You should consider trying some Prince Albert in the OTC category.

PM me your address if you want, we'll see what we can do 8)

i'm humming it right now. funny that John Williams thought music of the future would be a 1920's jazz piece.

I'm going to let me nerd flag fly and remind you: it's not the future! It's A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
