Obligatory Introduction
Good day, ladies & gents,

By way of introduction, my name is Bear. Well, it has been a nickname that I have held since I was five and even appears on my credit cards and personal checks. I started smoking (or at least trying to smoke) a pipe at the age of 16, back in 1974, and am presently employed in the pipe and cigar industry (Smokingpipes.com).

(insert standard disclaimer here >> Any posts I initiate, or replies to on going threads, may or may not reflect the views of Laudisi Enterprises, or its affiliates (Low Country Pipe & Cigar and Smokingpipes.com).

I would like to thank David M for making me aware of this forum, and thank you for taking the time the above prattle.

Da' Bear

Re: Obligatory Introduction
Welcome Bear.

I frequent your site and have purchased several pipes and tins from SmokingPipes.com in the past. I think you have one of the best sites around. I especially like the 'new pipe' updates and the fact that you list the details (weight, dimensions, etc.). I like the smaller lighter pipes - it's difficult to determine from pictures alone.

Again - welcome!

Re: Obligatory Introduction
Howdy Bear, and welcome to the Pipe Smokers Forums.

I believe I've spent some of my idle time as well as cash at your online establishment. Good to have you among us!

Re: Obligatory Introduction
Welcome Bear,

I have gotten some tobacco from smokingpipes.com and was VERY pleased with the service. I spend a lot of time reading your reviews and drooling over the Japanese pipes you get in.

Thanks for joining us here, welcome once again!

Re: Obligatory Introduction
Welcome, Bear. A guy with your credentials and knowledge of pipes will be a highly appreciated member of this forum, I wager. I love smokingpipes.com and have bought many pipes there in the last few months. The detailed descriptions and the size visualization are very useful indeed. Just jump in, the water is fine!
