Hi,
My name is Bill. I am 46, and live near Ft Lauderdale with my wife and 3 daughters. I have been smoking pipes for about 6 years or so, and have about 40 of them. I like Dunhills, Ser Jacopo, Peter Heeschen, Ferndown, Barling, Upshall, GBD and BBB pipes, along with meerschaums. I smoke all kinds of tobaccos: ropes, twists, flakes, English, Virginia, Aromatics; whatever I feel like smoking at the time. Today I am smoking Blender's Choice Toasted Cavendish I bought in a 12 oz bag from Winn/Dixie for about $10, so I likes 'em all. I look forward to participating in this board, and learning from the members.
Regards,
Bill

Good day!
even though I am fairly new here, I take the opportunity to say: Welcome, I hope you will like this site as much as I do
This is my Pipe.There are many like it, but this one is MINE.
My pipe is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My pipe without me is useless. Without my Pipe, I am useless
to the gang. Variety is good. Smoke what you like, like what you smoke.
Regards,
Mike

Sounds like you will fit in just right around here...I hope that you enjoy it here, and I hope you post often. There is a wonderful group here...of course there is a lot of good natured poking-fun, but it is one of the friendliest atmospheres I have seen in pipe-smoking forums.
Cheers,
Josh
I hope that you find this site as pleasant and informative as I do. great group of fine people.

It's a good bunch here. Trust you'll enjoy many a bowlful with us.
Hi Bill and welcome to MPC. Don't believe a word the other guys have been saying .. they're all hooligans! .. Except one of them, but you'll have to guess which one. The only way to find out is to stick around and post often. That will lure them out of their lairs ;)

I've smoked many bags of Blenders Choice stuff in my time, in fact, I have some around here somewhere. Welcome to MPC!

Welcome. Look forward to seeing you participate and sharing your experiences with us. Don't be scared off by all the weirdos here, they are harmless.... for the most part.

Great to have another Floridian on Board, I live in Port Richey. Perhaps together we can educate the site on the cultural imperative that is a Flowered Don Ho shirt. Good to have you aboard, Enjoy!

Hiya Bill! Great to have another Dunhill man aboard! Ah, I see from your tobacco selection that you CLEARLY qualify as a tobacco slut! No insult intended ... but man you're into just about all of it ... yup, thats the description of a tobacco slut. You and Ckr will have a lot in common (he's a tobacco slut too).
Anywho ... glad you chose to join in the fray ... now just keep posting for goodness sake! Before you know it you'll figure out who those weirdos are (oh my, I'm not sure if I'm one or not).

No ticket is required. Most of the rats abandones ship a long time ago but the worst remain on board. Guess we have room for one more.
