Hi all. I live at the foot of the Blue Ridge, in Virginia, about 3 miles above the NC state line. Work for a company in Winston-Salem. I can remember as a child, when we would go to Winston-Salem, usually shopping or to the dentist, when we went by the RJReynolds plants downtown, we would crack open the car windows and catch a whiff of the baccy. Worked in it a little as a boy. Too hard a way to make a living for me. Loads of respect for those that do. Around Christmas 2013 my sons got me interested in cigars and reinterested in pipes. I'm still green and trying to find what I like. I spent a little time on another site as "gtechva". Looking for a new home/source of brotherhood and information. I hope this is it. Ah, the rambling of a mad man...
