Could not find my nice tamper, so I gently put my nice pipe to one side without it be broken into tiny pieces and crushed by my nice size Ten feet .And reached for a lovely welcoming King Edward Imperial cigar and my Mrs Brog guillotine, makes me think of Dickens and a Tale Of Two Cities , which reminds me I must read James , The Europeans sometime.
To clear the air , staff and gentlemen , am I making to many posts on this young growing forum , be frank and plain with me I would not want to frighten any new crew coming aboard with my bachelor " eccentricities , or put off old hands, I have a hide as thick as a rhinoceros, so tell it straight.

Now smoking C&D Small Batch Carolina Red Flake in a 1970s smooth straight rough top Charatan's Make (Lane) Perfection Deluxe Extra Large with a black double comfort vulcanite stem.

Thanks for your kind comment baboo, but I think my eccentricities wind some people up the wrong way, and I am all for order and decorum and keeping a happy ship , I have had a bit of a stormy passage recently and I may of whet some whiskers of the company but all water under the mast now and time cure all ills, i enjoyed my first King Edward Imperial cigar , a busy mans smoke , but to my taste, not a regular habit. My Strang has not come yet.. I have to follow it up. What are you favouring as a night cap later may I ask? ( continuing the other thread perhaps) |

Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend... iced tea no sugar... a bit of frivolous TV...A great actor a spent many an hour in his company on the old tv, I am working up to Penderyn red flag whisky for a night cap I sip it straight then top it up with water or lemonade and my hemispheres of ice. One cup lasts me forever. I will have to get my deerstalker cap on and wave my magic fiddle around and solve the case of the two missing tampers it must be double indemnity, they say trouble comes in two's, PS I have just given up my poor IPad and returned to an android tablet this new efficient reliable British android fusion tablet, a great relief. It is a great improvement for posting and editing, but does not have the media quality of the Ipad |

I'm sure your two tampers will show up. My tamper goes missing every now & then but always turns up right where I left it ;-) I also prefer Android! If you have a chance to order, try the Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend - it really is old world over-the-counter top tier tobacco at wonderful price. I would never have known about it but for JimInks frequent smoke of it - he sent me a sample and I can't believe I went so long without it. It's such an easy flavorful smoke that reminds me of the good ol days! |

That is a sore point with thus android for some reason it will not allow me to type beneath the quote box as I am accustomed to do on the IPad, but I have only used it this evening , I will persevere with it, I am quite techy savvy, it seems to be a little foible ,I did not persist in trying to type as I do normally do beneath the box, but did the easy option, a couple of posts are a bit screwed up, because of it. I will look at some reviews of Mr Eddy G - man. Again excuse the format layout a temporary hiccup, in the martian machine onslaught

No the machine is dancing to a different rhythm than the forum software. As soon as I type beneath the quote box it just starts typing in the box. It does not seem to speak American English , as Confucius says in the Chinese Cracker " play the white man , he no crackers. "
My shaolin tai chi global wit. Believe it or not. I will have to retreat to the I ching hermitage under this tour de force. It is like boxing with a dragon while wrestling with an octopus , dark deeds afoot Dr Watson..

Adjourned back to the IPad , going to have my big pear Cossack and sunset eve mix, ever felt like playing solitary ping pong like forest Gump, but he never smoked, It is all to heavy metal and atomic at times. Giving up and off to bed. See you all. Excuse me , but messing about with techy hardware and software makes me a bit dotty at time , one of the first of the techy nerds , in my uni days. I should take this Uni stuff more personally ,but better to submit to fate.
