    Comoy's "Patina" Bulldog Restoratoion

    Very nice Al. Thanks Jon... I smoked a pipe for the first time back in 1974, and I forgotten just how reasonable pipes were back then in comparison to today. The only place you could buy pipes and tobacco in the small Colorado town I lived in was the local drugstore.

    Empty Nest Starts Now.

    They may wonder back home for awhile after college if you allow them, With today's economy and high rent costs, getting started on their own can be a challenge. A parent's challenge if they do come back is not to make them so comfortable that they never leave and start their own adult life.

    Who Doesn't Enjoy Plum Pudding?

    I first tried and enjoyed Mississippi River several years back, which lead me to try Plum Pudding. I did not like it at all, but after a little age and trying it in the right pipe everything changed and I now enjoy it once in a while.
