New member hello and introduction

[babysinister]

Hello everyone! I've been a self-taught pipesmoker for 40+ years. So I'm in this group to learn a lot of new stuff and lots of old stuff that I've forgotten - and also to learn which erroneous notions I should have discarded. I recently retired from a long career and now spend my time with my family and puffing on my pipe while on the computer. I'm indeed very happy to be here. I have 19 briar pipes and 6 cobs. Of the briars, three are 30+ years old and better than ever. The latter are a 1/4th bent pot GBD 5th Avenue, a half-bent Sasieni Four-Dot Ruff Root 'Duxford' dark-stained blastie, and my favorite puffer, a 1/4th-bent smooth Savory Argyll. Greetings to all.

Well, this is certainly a well-populated and friendly forum. I see from your personal info that many here smoke interesting mixtures that I haven't tried yet and prefer pipes made by some pipemakers I haven't tried yet either. Looking forward to learning more about all that. Thanks again for the warm reception.
