Welcome again.

blending my own tobacco from leaf last two years
Unfortunately, the more I blend my own pipe tobacco, the less I enjoy any of the commercial pipe blends, including some of my previous favorites.

Here is my first pipe, purchased in 1971.

I've actually made it within 60 miles of Bodrum, when I visited the old city of Rhodes. The closest spot in Turkey that I reached was a stopover in Incirlik, near Adana. Within my view, as I now sit at my computer in my study, I see a small collection of bulbous, black pipe boxes containing assorted meerschaum pipes I bought while in Turkey during the early 1980s.
