What we're all about.....
Good morning!
It's been brought to my attention that some posts have been deleted recently. These posts related to cigarette smoking and cigs in general. I was absent at the time and didn't realize that it happened. I apologize to the originator of these posts.
The smoking community. not just cig smoking, the ENTIRE community. is being targeted by the anti groups out there. I feel strongly that all smokers need to stand together. If we as pipe smokers become "elitist" and start denegrating our cigarette smoking brethren, we divide our community, giving those antis yet more ammunition against us.
I would hope that we can all stand together as brothers and sisters, giving help and understanding to ALL in our community. This forum was started by a cigarette/pipe/cigar smoker for all of us to come together as friends and family. Please show the same consideration to others as you would expect to receive from the rest of the smoking community.
Thank you all.

Re: What we're all about.....
I want to say, I'm the goof that deleted the post, and it was only one thread that was added to what are you smoking now. I was trying to move it to another thread to keep that area as streamlined as it has always been. I in no way meant to upset anyone by doing this and if I did, I fully understand your being upset. What Ted says is true and I stand behind him 100% in these thoughts.
Again, I sincerely appologize as well for this.

Re: What we're all about.....
I agree whole-heartedly!! The only difference between a cig smoker and a pipe smoker is that you have to find a place to put your butt. Tobacco is a life style and a choice that we all make.
Plain and simple... WE ARE A FAMILY AND WE ALL CONTRIBUTE IN OUR OWN UNIQUE WAYS. As a family, those of us/you that have given Bennett less than a "fair shake", were not treated the same when entering into the family.
