The Virtual Smoking Lounge closed its doors on December 31, 2009 due to a family medical crisis. Although the difficult situation continues, I've decided to reopen the VSL in a slightly different capacity.

For the time being, I will not be offering pipes and accessories for sale (that may come later). But as a service to those who may find it useful, I am restoring various articles, tips, and the selection of questions and answers about our beloved hobby.

Although it may not be the Virtual Smoking Lounge of the past, I hope you will still enjoy your visits here and find the information helpful as you seek to learn more about pipes, cigars, and tobacco.
