Howdy everyone!
Real name: Marcia H
Age: 25, going on 90
Location: Colorado
Years a pipe smoker: 8. I first smoked a pipe at 17 but only became a daily burley burner at 18 when tobacco became more readily (and legally) available.
How you got into pipe making: As I fell more deeply in love with pipe smoking- factory pipes totally lost their magic and I began drooling over expertly crafted artisan pieces. Dreaming of specific shapes and finishes, I soon realized I had too many ideas to realistically commission from other pipe makers and it would suit me to pick up some tools and make my own.
Other interesting facts: I currently work as a farm sitter, learning everything I can about livestock and saving up to realize my dreams of becoming a rancher/homesteader.
