I’ve been a pipe smoker for 13 years or so and I basically enjoy nearly every type of pipe tobacco…what I smoke depends on mood. Anyways, looking forward to getting started back up here again and seeing some familiar faces and meeting some new ones!

I was in Birmingham in August and I kind of liked it. I have been to Mobile, where I do not like it because, when people from Mobile learn that I live in New Orleans, the conversation inevitably turns to how Mobile invented Mardi Gras. I also have friends in Tuscaloosa.

It is nice to see you, wherever you live in that sweet home of a state you live in.

There is good barbecue in Alabama.

I live right outside Birmingham! Let me know next time you decide to make a visit. I’ll be able to give you all kinds of food and activities recommendations!

I get to Birmingham from time to time. My favorite brick and mortar, The Briary, is there. Hello and welcome from NC.

It’s a good spot. They’re having trouble staying open due to not having enough help. I hope they find the help they need to thrive for years to come.

Yes, I saw that. Seems like since Aubrey left he has had trouble. Is Joe still there? I told Skip I would do part time but it’s a bit of a drive for me. Lol.

I'm not sure. I get the feeling Skip is torn between keeping it open and retiring. If he sells it he will want to make sure it's in great hands, so I understand that's not an easy task.
