Some of you may have known Bob Runowski. He was one of the founding members of the Christopher Morley Pipe Club here in Philadelphia and was a very active member in the pipe community. He was an avid writer and a talented blender. Many of the most popular C&D blends on the market are Bob's creations, including OJK and Haunted Bookshop.
I have periodically posted some of Bob's writings. Fortunately a large portion of them were saved in an archive at another forum. They are insightful, witty and actually very engaging. I have decided to create a board dedicated to this, in the hope that we will eventually have the entire collection here and that we can engage members to discuss and ponder some of the topics that Bob thought were worthy of discussion.
Enjoy

Enjoy I noticed an earlier post that you made on Feb 18, 2016 entitled 'Morley's Musings - Like Neon On The Wall'. Perhaps, you could incorporate that writing into the new thread. It was a good one. |

Yep, I will wind up re-posting that one. I'm going to go in order from the beginning.

Yo Jus
Great initiative! BobR recruited me into Morley's PC, and it was all downhill from there. I miss Bob a lot and am glad to have inherited a great puffing Dunhill and some tobaccos from him.

Would be interested in seeing this put together, but I have also read many of his writings, as well as Christopher’s novels. Love all things Runowski.

How did I miss this the first time around... Looks like just the one post there so far?
Two of Bob's blends are my all time favorites, Old Joe Krantz and Haunted Bookshop. Where are these writings archived?
