Real name -- George Dibos
Age -- 61
Location -- Kansas City, Missouri
Years a pipe smoker -- 41
How I got into pipe making -- Never did. (I fix 'em, not make 'em.
)
Other uninteresting facts -- Obsessive perfectionist and unapologetic tool slut. Occasional cranky curmudgeon. Intolerant of bullshit and bullshitters. One kid (male) who's a physicist. Recently discovered cats can be pretty cool. Senior judge of the North American Pipe Carving Contest.
Oh yeah... I never smoke latakia.
Actively dislike it these days, in fact. I discovered Dark Fired Kentucky leaf and Burleys about ten years ago and never looked back. The board name pre-dated the World Wide Web, though (anyone remember UseNet?), so out of both nostalgia and laziness was never changed.
