| Hello All, My name is Ben, My frinds call me Big Ben or just Big...Back in my 20's I smoked pipes, mainly cobs or Grabows. Then came the family thing and ALL the fun things I get to do with my wonderful Wife and 2 sons.. As the boy's got older I found a little more time for some ol Fun stuff. I started on cigars mainly because my coworkers smoked them, but pipes were always my style. So late last year I got back in the game!!! I've gotten some really good pipes by searching CL and Ebay at reasonable prices. Yesterday I met a fellow on BoB...we had a great time talking Pipes and got my juices flowing, So here I am, getting involved instead of just reading everyone elses posts. Thanks to all the FINE people here on BoB, I've learned so much in the past few months, more than I ever knew in the 4-5 years I smoked pipe in the 90's.
oh yea...I got serious PAD, in a really bad way. Some day I'll share my list.
Big. |

| Welcome aboard Ben! I have a few Big Ben pipes. They are great pipes and I think you need at least one in your collection. There's always a few of them floating around on ebay. |
