[QUOTE="Rail Man, post: 517263, member: 58"] Greetings everyone! I joined this forum back in 2007 when I was in the process of learning about pipes and the wonderful members got me off to a great start. I was really into the hobby at the time, had a nice collection of pipes, and started cellaring a stash of tobacco. Then around 2010 I just sort of stopped, moving on to cigars and eventually some other bad habits that were easy to fall into with the on call, no sleep job I was working. The pipe just didn't really do it for me for a long time, most likely out of laziness on my part. Fast forward to about a month ago, some big changes at my workplace came along over the winter, and I "rediscovered" my wonderful pipes carefully wrapped up and packed away and decided it was time to bring them back to life and get back into this hobby. They came out of the closet, got a thorough cleaning, and have once again been put to work, and it's great, I can't believe I ever stopped! The long absence has had an unintended bonus in that all those tins I put in a cellar so long ago have been quietly aging and I ended up with around 7 pounds worth of tobacco, most of it with 10+ years of age on it now, and numerous tins of blends that are either no longer available, have changed blending houses, or are difficult to find. I also remember the pitfalls that came along with this hobby, like PAD, which in the short time I've been back has already hit me! Glad to be back, and glad to see this forum is still alive and well (and glad I could remember my log in information). [/QUOTE]
