So, last night was the last pipe club meeting for the summer (very sad  ) and I took my C&D Cross-Eyed Cricket and War Horse Ready Rubbed to pass around. As soon as I took out the War Horse one of the guys commented he had been wanting to try that for awhile. The owner of the store picked up the Cross-Eyed Cricket, read it, opened it and he loved the aroma, he had to try it right away. I think everyone ended up trying the Cricket, and everyone loved it. The guy interested in the War Horse liked both of them really well. I had also taken my Grasmere Flake, and it made his day to find another person who liked Lakelands, lol. He was ribbing the owner about it the rest of the evening. We had to leave a little early because hubby had to pick a lock for a friend and needed to do it in daylight, but as we were leaving Charlie (the owner) thanked me several times for bringing those tobaccos and passing them around. I suspect the next time I visit the store there will be Cross-Eyed Cricket on the shelves! |

That's pretty cool. I went to a place that sold beer brewing equipment, that had put in a bar and sold craft beers on tap. They attract a really cool class of folks, and it's like a British pub; everyone talks and hangs out and no one gets too drunk.
Smoking was illegal indoors in that suburb, so I went outside to have a bowl. Pretty soon there were more people outside trying pipes than inside. I felt bad taking everyone away from buying beer, but didn't do it on purpose, it was just one of those cool spontaneous things.
