Observed holiday today, then it's over for another year. These sure went by fast. 53F and foggy, possible thunderstorms this afternoon. McClelland #5120, pretty good one for fans of toasted Va, in an MM Country Gent, drinking Trader Joe's coffee and getting ready for last day of college football.

G'evening folks, a few whiffs of Montecristo cigar in my Meer holder & mediterranean citrus flower Grove Great Dixter (but barely tasting them yet) in the big MM Freehand corncob, after feeding us. Found a lovely Internet radio channel the Boston Early music channel. Looking to obtain more Three Nun's after Jim's recommendation & review,with thanks. I saw some agreeably designed Jobie rustic estate pipes , modestly priced , on Blue Room Briars on my wish list. Bye for now

He carried his age well. He was in a few episodes of Hogan's Heroes.

Good evening from Greece, a normal night here in Athens. I tested these matches but i can't say are a "light anywhere" stuff, yes they strike but in smooth surfaces are a No Go.  Beneath the table, on wall, on concrete etc yes they light but in boot [sole-heel], armchair handles, on the table etc i had no success at all.  |

I don't know anybody who has tried the new version, which is coin cut only. I am awaiting a response to my email inquiry to the new Motzek ownership regarding the continuation or abandonment of the Strang Rope. Stay tuned... |
