New from Washington

momus · Dec 12, 2010

Hello everyone! I'm a new pipe smoker from Washington state. I started maybe six months ago. Used the corn cob and Dr. Grabow....I would like to get a decent poker pipe sometime soon. Since I am the only person I know why smokes a pipe, I've cut my teeth the best I can on the internet. What I've discovered is that there is a lot of, uh, information. A lot of diverse information. But, I've used this forum like mad to make sure I'm not screwing anything up and so I figured I might as well join it. Being from Washington state, its tough since I can't order tobacco online. So the only tobacco I've had that isn't an OTC is C&D Epiphany, which I really enjoy (and one of my cats seems to really dig). I am really excited to join the discussion, and quite honestly have some questions answered. By the way, I am not sure if this would be the correct place to ask (let me know if I'm out of bounds), but does anyone know of a decent pipe store in the Marysville/ Everett area of Washington? The closest ones that I know about are in Seattle (45 min away) and Tacoma (even further).
Anyway, a post-help thanks to the board since I've really been helped out by it in the past.

Welcome! I know what you mean about the information on the internet. I started out watching pipe related videos on youtube, and they were really hit and miss. Some were great, others...well, you know. There are some very knowledgeable gents on this forum, as well as new guys like me. Enjoy, post often, and photos are always appreciated!
