Years later, my pipe collection has grown dramatically (as has my understanding of the British), but I still treasure my first pipe with great fondness. It is a Willmer economy-line pipe, and it makes regular appearances in my normal smoking rotation, as well as inspiring my Traveler Series of pipes, as I always bring it with me whenever I travel abroad. | Years later, my pipe collection has grown dramatically (as has my understanding of the British), but I still treasure my first pipe with great fondness.

In 2003, while working as a high school English teacher, I began to dabble in pipe making for the first time. As a teacher I had access to the school's extensive woodshop, and I began to learn the basics. I started with a pre-drilled pipe kit, and over time I acquired a rudimentary understanding of the craft. | In 2003, while working as a high school English teacher, I began to dabble in pipe making for the first time.
