Here is a place at Care2 where I hope we can come together and share our beloved pastime and passion--the love of the briar, and how it benefits our lives, even if it is just taking a moment now and again to relax and let the burden of the modern world slip away.

I invite you to post links of interest, memorabilia, local club happenings and pipe show dates, related books, films what have you.

Rant a bit regarding the asinine ‘bans’ now cropping up everywhere. Lament a lost B&M store--as you discover a new one through a share here. Share information gathered via real research done on the benefits of tobacco--not the based on un-tested assumptions and flat-out lies we’re being spoon-fed.

Introduce yourself! Tell us how long you’ve been enjoying the tobacco, be it in an Anniversary Dunhill or a down-to-earth, workhorse cob.

Have you ever carved your own pipe? Have some techniques or advice you’d like to pass on?

What is your favorite ‘baccy? Found a good source for certain blend? Miss an old standby now discontinued? Have a recent estate purchase attack while surfing eBay?

Share with us!

A gentle reminder: I’ll not abide any flaming or attacks on members by members. We’re here to gather and expand, not get swept up in a unrealistic sense of personal outrage because someone in a Virginia smoker, another a Burley or enjoyer of Aromatics, or what have you.

Cheers & enjoy!
