As the title of this post & my username implies I am Rick from Alabama. I'm a retired Telephone Co Service Tech where I spent 31 years climbing poles and digging ditches. Prior to that I served 4 years in the USAF basically doing the same work. I'm an old man as you might have guessed, but I'm a new Pipe Smoker. Previously I smoke those nasty Cigarettes for some 35 years before a health issue caused by them forced me to quit. Fast forward almost 20 years and I decided that at age 70 I can dang well do as I please if I want to enjoy Tobacco. I'll never touch the cigarettes again, but oh boy how I am enjoying my Pipes. I'm here to learn about different tobaccos and about caring for my Pipes. My current stash of Pipes includes 3 Dr/ Grabows, 2 no-names from the Gatlin Burlier in Gatlinburg TN and a spanking new Peterson Aran 80s Bulldog which I just received yesterday from Smokingpipes.com which by the way seems to be a great company to deal with.
Thanks for having me,
Rick

That's the kind of collection that usually wins friends around here. Not that anyone with a more extensive collection is ever considered an outlier. Consider yourself initiated into this gang of knuckleheads. Contribute to the conversation often and you'll be in good company.
