Do you still have your first pipe?
I'm curious how many still have the first pipe that started your pipe smoking experience? If so, do you still smoke it?
I purchased this apple from a tobacconist in Anchorage Alaska over 25 years ago. It was a basket pipe. Maybe $10 at the time. He recommended a few ounces of a tobacco blend called Point Barrow, which I'm sure was probably Q1 or relabeled Captain Black. Thus started my love affair with pipe smoking.
I've bought and sold countless (i.e. too many) pipes since then. However, this cheap, old pipe remains one of my favorite pipes and best smokers.
