Just signed up and anxious to take a look through this site. Anyone else from Calgary on here?
As long as I can remember I've been interested pipe smoking. I had a great-uncle that smoked a pipe - I only ever met him once when he was at my grandmothers place. I was fascinated as I watched him fill his pipe then strike a match and light it. Our minister smoked a pipe too after service. That was all years and years ago and I haven't met anyone that smoked a pipe since.
A few years ago, I picked up my first pipe, a Bjarne freehand that I ordered from Cup o Joes. I was pretty much a 'secret' pipe smoker until recently. One of my neighbors down the street was standing in his driveway smoking (not a pipe), so I grabbed my pipe and tobacco and wandered down the street. As we were chatting I started filling it, and he said, "I didn't know you smoked a pipe!" I told him it was pretty rare, which it is, but he went on to tell me he used to smoke a pipe - his wife encouraged it because it smelled nice in the house. That led to quite a few more 'driveway pipe' sessions. I don't live on that street anymore though.
Anyway, I'm going to poke around this site! Cheers!
