Why do you come to the CS Pipe Forum?

[Darrell]

I come to CS because of the Gorillas. Club Stogie has the best people in the world all under the same roof.

we should rename this area as the "post whore spillover forum" with the way things are going here lately.

At first I came here in search of help regarding cigars and I stuck around, posting occasionally but mainly just lurking and absorbing the plethora of information available at CS.

The idea of the pipe interested me before cigars did, but at first I was deterred from getting into pipe smoking because of the age-old stereotype of it being typically regarded as something that the 'older' generations spend their time doing. Nevertheless, this board attracted me and eventually I found myself venturing into the prodigious world of pipes and pipe tobacco.

Whilst I remain primarily a lurker at CS, my lurking habits are restricted to this here pipe forum rather than those dedicated to cigars. Although I do not consider myself a firm member of this community, I continue to come back time after time in order to further educate myself in the field of pipe tobacco and to, in the off chance that there's a place where I can contribute, pass on anything that I may be able to.

I feel that I'm 'accepted' here, so to speak, even with the widespread age difference between myself and other members of this board. The pipe forum is a friendly niche 'worldwide neighbourhood' of sorts that keeps me returning because of the wealth of knowledge and, above all else, its sense of community.

We all share a special passion for the finer aspects of life: the relaxation; the society; the education; the PIPE.

Here's to you all for your contribution to this splendid forum.

Edit: I just read this over and I realise that I may sound like a pretentious fop, but you get the idea. eh?

I think people just don't read what forum things are in when they click "New Posts".

Anyway, I come to the Pipe Forum because, if I didn't, I'd never get to see Greg anymore

I was sure Zack was gonna say he came here for the sheep.

I come here to learn. I'm a total noob in the pipe arena.

Why don't you ride up here for a pipe herf, Ricky? I'll tell you everything I know about pipes and tobacco--then, after that three minutes is up, we can hang out and smoke

I have to admit, I've done that -- but it's even easier to slip up if "clubstogie.com" (no "/vb", etc.) is your homepage, which it is for me. It's easier to screw up then b/c no forum/sub-forum is listed at all....

That said, I come to the *pipe forum* on CS because there's great information and the people (even Greg ) are top notch.

it's actually a great post.
those of us that know what you're saying know what you're saying.


EDIT: i Pm'ed mad hatter to see if it was okay to change the topic title, or if he intended it to be a "general" statement. if he wants it changed back, i'll do that as well.

Whether it be the Club Stogie Forum, My Local Cigar shop or Herfs I just find I like the people better and have more in common with them then the people I meet outside of this hobby/obsession.
