About me
My name is Nathan Mattia and I live in St. Louis, Missouri. I've been smoking pipes since Spring Break 1995. Like a lot of first-timers, I had no idea that several factors were keeping me from actually enjoying the experience:
1. I was smoking a cheap, drug-store pipe.
2. I was smoking cheap, drug-store tobacco.
3. I was trying to light up in a hot tub--a move that should only be attempted by professionals.
Anyway, a good friend at a tobacco shop finally showed me how to properly pack and light a good estate Stanwell Pipe with some quality tobacco, and I've been a fan ever since. You can't usually go wrong with a quality estate pipe that's been broken in and well-taken care of.
I teach Middle School History by day, am a pastor on the weekends, and clean up and sell quality old pipes for fun and to help support the Viking Pipe Club of St. Louis.
If you've got some pipes you'd like to sell, I'm always buying. Or if you just have a few questions, please ask me.
