I'm Paul from Long Island and I'm fairly new to pipes. I am learning and with the help of a few good people on this site and others I'm trying to pick it up.
I was gifted a briar and I've picked up several Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cobs which I absolutely love. I have a few tins of different blends and have figured out that the same blend doesn't taste the same in every pipe. I'm cataloging which do though so that I can revisit certain ones.
I'll be keeping up hopefully with this site and trying to gain as much knowledge as possible here.
