Yo ho ho from the PNW

[SailorBen]

Hey all, stoked to be here! I'm a family man from southern Oregon, an avid DIY/craftsman, occasional foodie, and lover of all things nautical. My wife got me some cigars for Christmas, then I bought a sampler, and having no idea what I was doing, started researching on YouTube and found @webmost's rolling video, which blew my mind. I'm not a big time smoker (yet), but the craftsmanship and creativity of pipes and cigars intrigues me greatly. Also impressed by how tobacco draws people together, and roots them in things that are real. Super excited to learn and experience as much as I can and looking forward to interacting with y'all here.
Best regards,
- Sailor Ben

That Dungeness looks very tasty. Now I got Crab Cioppino on the brain.

Thanks! Good to be here. For now I've got a cobbled together "fakeador" - an old hinge top American cedar box with a Boveda 69% packet and strips of cardboard for dividers. Has a capacity of about 20 sticks. Thinking I'd like a glass top one someday just for presentation factor, but from what I've seen here, Tupperdor might be the way to go.
