Real name: Kip
Age: 45
Location: Santiago, Dominican Republic
Years a pipe smoker: 24
How you got into pipe making: Thought about it for years, but never have gotten into it. I'm too old to take up mountain climbing, and my interests lie much more in the world of tobacco and flyfishing than such an endeavor anyway; pipe making seems more my speed these days. I'm very interested, but only for my own gratification. I don't have designs on taking the world by storm....just as a fun hobby.
Other interesting facts: Not sure that anything about me is particularly interesting, so I'll throw a mess of random facts out there.....I dig scuba diving, fishing (flyfishing especially, but anything'll do), cigars and pipes, etc. I do a cigar (and occasionally pipe) related podcast. I'm also a missionary in the Dominican Republic for the past 3 years. Been married to the same woman I don't deserve for almost 25 years.
