May they never meet. Kidding......
Seriously though, Mother's Day came and went and it occurred to me how lucky I am that Mrs Perique enjoys the aroma of a good pipe tobacco and is 100% supportive of my passion. She's actually said to me that a house doesn't smell quite right without the lingering aroma of a good pipe tobacco. Granted, she's fairly old school for a modern lady.
Ironically, Perique tends to make her sneeze. So I try to choose my bowls carefully when we are together. When we're not in the same room, however, it's a VaPer extravaganza. She likes my burleys and aromatic English blends and the occasional aro that I smoke. So even though she won't see this, I tip my beverage back in salute to the women in our lives who enjoy our hobby (albeit often second hand) with us and support our passions. Lord knows they have theirs, and I try to repay the support. (Which is why I have too any damned horses and a new line of sheep)
Hats off to all those with supportive spouses / girlfriends / lovers / etc.
