Greetings folks, lunted Pop in the night time gentle rain & I had a pipe dream a gang of about 20 out of shape chimps & orangutans in brightly coloured knickers & jackets came jogging up the narrow, two abreast , pavement beside the busy traffic coming along the road , from who knows where, so I stepped aside with Pop & waited in the rain , they obviously had not learnt to speak, & not even a thank you ? Maybe they were the prophesied orcs ? ( they could have been wannabe Samurai/ Shaolin warriors using me as a punch bag, to depress, it could have been worse it may not have been me, it may have been one of the senior citizens elderly widows, if they dare come out of their homes these days) It is a recurring nightmare happens frequently, I often see them driving extremely heavy dangerous cars in residential zones at over 50mph in 30mph zones as well cursing & beeping their horns in their killing machines & shouting obscenities, that should be at least 20mph zones. 🤔😩 The blessings of modern civilisation. As I puff on my Holiday Season 2016, in my Petersons Xmas pipe. Perhaps the nativity story will be retranslated into a Hollywood epic series & call it the Terminator ....I have an agreeable cup of tea, & I am about to watch the ongoing Matt Damon series latest episode, Jason Bourne, it is the 21st century after all , and I was a fan of Affleck & Damon in the film Good Will Hunting, the American Dream , pilgrims...see Ya. PS. Excuse the whinge , car jocks, just a grumpy elder man, dreaming of pedestrian friendly electric sociable cars, in my engineers heaven... |

Hello from Greece, we had sun here in Athens in the whole morning but the temperature was a little bit low. After work i had some shopping: i bought a new digital thermometer-hygrometer for our kitchen, a new pipe and pipe cleaners and i made my dental x-rays. Now i am relaxing smoking Mac Baren Mixture Aromatic, later and before bed a cup of chamomile.

Savinelli 140th Anniversary - Ultra-fine!!! Multi-nuanced levels of full flavorful sophistication best enjoyed slowly in a contemplative large conical-bottomed bowl... there is so much going on in this beautiful blend, yet no part eclipses another... yes, IMO, this one is SPECIAL. Marvelous multi-flavor-hit to the palette and stellar on the retro-hale! Sardines & crackers w/a chilled dram of Dewer's 12 Year caps off the end of another hard day's labor. Gotta thank JimInks once again for knowing what's good GREAT!!! |

G'evening folks , relaxing with Jason Bourne , struggling with being Bourne again, private Bourne like Commander Bond, always seem to get their hopeful brides "knocked off" , they should smoke some slow Troost in a MM Free hand corncob & some St. Bruno in good clay pipe & cool off, it is a pity to lose so many beautiful stars. I have a bowl of Great Dixie straight in my MM Freehand corncob, & a some yoghurt & pringles crisps with my bottle of lemonade & dash of red Martini , stirred not shaken, ( Great Dixter is not to everyone's taste but I will smoke a bowl for Hans the creator whose shop is closing this winter), apologies for the rant I have nothing against chimps or orangutans, I see myself more as an orangutan than chimp, but with a silver backs aspirations...luv Ya' & leave Ya' guys & gals . |

G'eve, silence after the big movie, I am whiffing on a Blue Royal Dutch cigar, I will time out for 24 hours Chief, it is getting "disorderly" , for some, brevity is the soul of wit & familiarity breeds contempt...au revoir.

Hi T-honey , that sounds an interesting blend , you are experimenting I will look it up, enjoy, beneath the broken white hand ( of friendship said the dove ? perhaps) as the pagan story goes.....see you down the needles thread... PS, I like the look of it , I could not believe how cheap it is.... it is very nice. the smoke changes between thick and thin, which was fun to play with, lol. this was a sample given to me a week or so ago, i will have to hunt it up too. |

Just finished smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Had to run a couple errands, and am watching Mad Dog Russo with two happier cats. Suzy and Molly don't like it when I leave the house. So much for independent cats, huh?
