Hello all. I am Jake from Kansas City. I have been restoring pipes for about 3 years now and have sent almost 1000 pipes to new homes. It would be over 1000 but I have a problem of letting go of many of them. I enjoy talking about and learning more about pipes.
I did a short stint as a cigar rep for a couple years. I had a huge cigar collection until I sold it off when we bought our current house 3 years ago. That was what led me to get more into pipes and restoration. It's cheaper right?! That's what I told myself anyways. My restoration work pays for my pipe stuff at least. Still enjoy cigars but I have never restocked the humidors because most my focus is pipe related stuff now.
I know a few guys here from other forums. Looking forward to interacting here. Most of you know KC is home of Xikar and was home to McClelland. We have some amazing shops in the area. Really excited that Outlaw North is moving a street over from my employer. It's going to be a micro brewery and cigar lounge.
