Leave the gun. Take the cannolis.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Great! Now think PIPE. .........................Joe I do enjoy a pipe now and then Joe. A few years back I was on a genealogy search for my southern ancestors. I discovered a company in Virginia that still grows the same blend that my ancestors grew back in the 1700’s in Virginia, I thought if I smoked some of the same tobacco it might somehow bring them closer to me. I have to say it was a pleasant smoke, but I knew nothing about the care of fine tobacco products and consequently the leaf went dry as a bone on me. I also knew nothing about the care of a good pipe and now I need a flexible drill bit to clean it! I’m smarter lately, now I have humidors, dedicated Tupperware, hydration packs, hygrometers, all the fun toys required for the care and keeping of fine tobacco and fine tobacco products. |

It's a true art to enjoying a great smoke out of a great pipe. I have several decanters of mixed tobaccos. I often mix my own and like the Virginia Tobaccos, they are very mild and mix well. Some of the Italian pipes are good as well as the English, But they can get expensive.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Great work on the whiskey case (Irish). I'm another pipe smoker that would appreciate such a case for my Ferndown pipes on the boat. Great story of finding Virginia tobacco with a link to a family history.
