Good afternoon gents!
I have been a dedicated pipe smoker since I am 23 years old. After going through major phases of aromatics, then latakias, my preferences have steadied over the last 4-5 yearstowards VA/KE/PER mixtures (flakes as much as possible).
I have been a straight pipe fanatic for the longest time. But it seems, now, over the last year 1/2 that I am indulging more frequently into half and full bent pipes. Must be age, I guess.
Last year, looking for a relaxing hobby, I have told myself "Why not try making a pipe, or two"?
I bought a basic band saw, a huge file and some equipement from Pimo. And I managed to make 2 pipes out of the ebauchons I bought.
I realized I like this very much and decided to invest more of my time and smackaroos in the process.
And, voilà! Now I am on this forum and hope to benefit from all you gents' combined experiences to be able to achieve, one of theses days, something half decent.
BTW, I may ask a lot of questions, I am fairly curious.
Cheers

Watch out for Sas?? Luckily Sea Jay is Canadian and unlikely to form a bias on the opinion of an ignorant yankee capitalist pig.
