Im a retired US Navy and Vietnam Veteran I served 21 years in the US Navy. Im married and I have 3 children and 4 grandchildren. After retiring from the US Navy I served as a Law Enforcement Officer for 17 years. I'm now fully retired. I began smoking a pipe about 1976. I got interested because my uncle was a big pipe smoker. I can clearly remember the Tinder Boxes all over the United States and that is where I bought my first real tobacco pipe. It was a Canadian and I started out with aromatic tobaccos. The one I really liked was Cafe Supreme. As time went one I switched to cigars and put my pipes away. Well, after retiring fully I took up pipe smoking again and Now have began smoking Non Aromatics. I like the Mac Baren HH blends, although I still have a tin of Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake on standby. My favorites pipes are Meerschaums.
