Smoking in Michigan

Hello, it's a damp, dreary, cold day in Grand Rapids, Michigan now. The Lion lost, but at least U of M won.

I first smoked a pipe at 18 in college and I'm 55 now. I have dozens of pipes and smoke whenever I don't think my wife will smell it by the time I see her. It's not a secret, but she doesn't like it so it saves me the hassle. Definitely a winter smoker more than summer, and usually while taking a walk or working on a project.

While I know how to do everything and have my favorite tobaccos and pipe styles, I've never gotten into the weeds and think it's about time. I'd like to hang around and read what you're writing and throw out a question now and then.

Looking forward to it.

Hello from a reformed NW Ohio resident. This is a great place to kick up your heels and enjoy. It’s bright and sunny here in South Carolina, and haven’t shoveled snow since moving here!

Love your signature. I've used that for years. Goes along with "Lower Your Standards." At least where it doesn't matter.
