[AZrider]

Hey All,

That recruitment thread did the trick. I decided to quit lurking - d**ned peer pressure!

My name is Steve and I live in Tempe, AZ. I quit smoking cigarettes some 10 years ago and maybe five years ago started pipe smoking. I enjoy pipe tobacco and the tactile feel of a well made pipe quite a alot - however, a few months ago, when I was out of town and pipe smoking wasn't convenient, I picked up a cigar. I've always enjoyed cigars, but after getting ahold of a premium, handmade one . . . well. I was hooked.

Now I'm in the discovery stages, trying not to spend all of my money while I decide what I like and what I don't like. It took me years to even begin to get to the point with a pipe where I know my preferences. There's always more to discover!

My other interests mostly include motorcycling - that's my number one passion (besides my family) - and the usual: wine, food, travel, etc.

This seems like an excellent forum and I'm happy I found my way here.
