Greetings from California!
Hi, my name is Bob Ridout. I am 50 yrs old, and have just re-started pipe smoking again after a 10 years.
I went back to cigarettes about 10 years ago. I love pipe smoking, it is very rewarding. Never intend to go back to cigarettes again, I was a slave to them.
I love to look at pipes, learn about different makes, history of various makes, and learn about and try different tobaccos.
I like photography, camping, hiking and relaxing with my pipes!
Best..
Bob

Re: Greetings from California!
Welcome aboard Bob! Good to see you here. There are a couple others from the "Left Coast" here. Pull up an easy chair, fill a bowl from the jar over there, and make yourself to home.

Re: Greetings from California!
Thank You Gentlemen...
Nice to belong to this community. Believe it or not, I do not know anyone who smokes a pipe!
There used to be a few tobacco stores/pipe stores in my area, ( within 6 miles or so). Closet one now is 30 miles! Thank goodness for the net!
California ( esp. San Francisco area ) is very anti tobacco. Very sad!
Nice to meet all of you... Would love to smoke a bowl with you someday!
Best..
Bob

Re: Greetings from California!
Sorry to hear that you have no pipe-smoking pals in the area..... Cali leads the nation in anti-everything! What a place.....
My nearest B&M (brick & mortar, or "real" store) is in Springfield, about 100 miles from me. Needless to say, the net is my salvation! 
You're always more than welcome to sit and smoke a pipe with us here... For quite a few, this is our "pipe-club"...meetings are hap-hazard, but the atmosphere is the best!

Re: Greetings from California!
Bob, sounds like your enjoying life...... and that is what counts.
Welcome to this little niche in the hobby of pipe smoking. I hope that you enjoy yourself here as much as I do. Lot of fine people here that will help you learn even more. (or is that confuse you even more?)
