Greetings Steve.

I was astonished to get such a quick response to my request to join and am
pleased with the first offerings (are you using a robot?). A little about
myself, started smoking the pipes and cigars at 18 when I was a philosophy
student in college and thought it looked cool. Changed majors (several times)
and eventually graduated. Just left active military service (down-sized
officer) and am now a 36 yr old Systems Functional Analyst working for
Lockheed Martin. Have about 45 pipes of all sort (haven't managed to get a
Dunhill yet). Prefer latakia based english blends but will try aromatics on a
whim. Also enjoy a good cigar. Since one of my hobbies is woodwork, have also
tried my hand at pipe carving and have done a couple of freehand styles.
Great info online, keep up the good work. Happy puffing.

Verlyn
