From: "S. Holmes [Consulting Detective]" <???????????????????????????>
Subject: Introduction

I am an x pipe smoker who really misses the enjoyment of the pipe.
The reasons I am not currently endulging are many and in future
letters I will probably discuss them.  Suffice it to say that I
*really* enjoyed my pipe and whenever I get a whiff of a good tobacco
the urge is really strong to start again.  

I am not a pipe or tobacco expert and only own a couple of not really
very distinguished pipes.  But that is, at present, irrelevent. 

I look forward to reading about pipes and discussing them with others
on this list (as time permits).  I especially look forward to learning
more pipe lore, tobacco lore, etc.

when you'll need a good monograph on the ash of 63 different types of
cigars. {Real Sherlockians will probably correct me on this.} -S.]
