Hello everyone,
I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I found this place on another forum and someone had posted a link to here. Looks like we have a few things in common.
I have been a cigar smoker for about 13 years now and a pipe smoker for about 3 of those. I don't like to buy high end pipes and then end up crying if I drop one and it breaks. I stick to Stanwells, Petersons, and Dr. Grabows. I have a few other brands but nothing of note. I like to drink PBR because it's good and cheap but I do treat myself to more expensive beers when I feel the need. Same with my pipe tobaccos.
I compete in triathlons in and around NC. I have competed in 4 Ironman distance triathlons including the Championships in Hawaii. Yes, I do realize that it is a whole different kind of crazy. My wife and I are currently training for Ironman Arizona in November.
Glad to be here!

Welcome to the DGCF. This is the place to be if you want to know about the Doctor and his pipes. Enjoy.

Welcome ST, you'll find some fine company here on the DGCF.
I got to tell you, I'd cry if I dropped and broke a Dr.G!

| Hi ST, welcome to DGCF. Glad to have you here. When you get a chance, show us your Grabow collection (and the others, if you'd like). We like pictures. |
