I'm a recovering cigar smoker... if there is such a thing. Okay, fine I still like cigars but pipes have captured my heart. Looking forward to some stimulating conversation from like-minded enthusiasts. My good buddy @TraderCigarCo. has convinced me I've been miss'n out. I had my first encounter with BOTL caliber folks last weekend at Crowned Heads and La Palina event at Renegade Cigar in Richardson TX. Also had the opportunity to meet Mark @SailorAg who was generous enough to "bomb" me with a tin of Penzance--what a guy. For the record, my name is Ross. Glad to be part of the group. I'm a little nervous. It's like I just walked in to a new school on the first day of class.
