October 6 is the Feast Day of St. Bruno, patron saint of Calabria, possessed persons, and pipe smokers.
Celebrate!!
That covers all of us...right?

I wonder if sidstavros has ever been to Calabria? It seems to be in Greece.

If he has been there, I bet he has jaw dropping pictures of the place. Let’s see, fly over to NI and pickup Paddy, then head south and rummage through Sid’s cellar. Briarpatch world tour. All in honor of St. Bruno, of course.

I was looking at Wikipedia, and I guess the name comes from Ancient Greece, sorry Sid, I meant no offense. I’ve been to Athens before and I’d love to go back, so the world tour could still happen. |

It seems the southern Italians absorbed much from old Greece. Their "Primitivo" grape for one. Those Greeks! They sure get around. |

Smoking St Bruno on St Bruno’s day had a nice resonance in hindsight

I'm out of town but I'm pretty sure one of the few blends I brought with me was St. Bruno. Coincidence?  |

No St. Bruno on hand...smoking St. Sutliff.

Almost opened a tin of St. Bruno to celebrate but then realized I am out of empty jars. It was easier to smoke something else then buying yet another case of mason jars.

And when I have a case of empty jars, I find a way to fill em. 12 jars for $10 my butt! 12 jars normally cost me at least 5 times that. Who wants a case of empty jars sitting around? |
