A devout pipe smoker since age 16. Did a 2 year stint as a tobacconist in a small shop and miss that period of my life.

I currently have two professions that allow me to enjoy thoughtful pipe smoking on the commutes. I am a paramedic in a busy Northeast area, as well as an Old Catholic priest, working primarily as a chaplain for Police, Fire, and EMS services.

I have taken up estate pipe restoration as the newest aspect of my pipe hobby. Some piper friends call me the "Pipe Exorcist" because of how well I am able to remove "ghosts".

Currently smoking English blends like its my job and loving every minute of it.
