I had the good fortune yesterday to meet Simon (Condorlover1) and spend an evening of exceptional pipes, blends and conversation. We imbibed his secret Condor Blend, chatted about life, liberty and the pursuit of Nicotine, and then headed off for some very good Indian cuisine.
A wonderful evening. Thanks, Simon!

I am always floating around chum so do look me up - I was thinking of doing a pipe and scotch evening on the roof one of these days.

"It's great that our hobby gathers so many people, regardless of the differences"
I'm not regardless of the differences amongst the friends that I choose. I seek out different people. And just ask anyone who has met me. The first thing that they will tell you..."well, he's....different"

The bars on the bedroom window adds a certain something to the ambiance to NY living!
I got you. I would put bars on the windows if Woodsroad was coming to visit my place as well. Completely understandable.

That is a killer rooftop pad! Sounds like you gents had a spledid time, glad to hear it. Is it IN New York City or what? I have never been to NY so i have no clue about its surroundings.

Peck, the bars did not deter me. I left Simon's place with half a bottle of wine, a pipe, some cigar furniture and half a pouch of Condor. He managed to wrestle free his silverware and a first edition of "Huck Finn", but I only gave them up because he asked nicely.
Fadingdaylight, I appreciate your desciption. You and my dear mother are in agreement, although she always say's "f'n special".

Looks like the place for a condor moment to me! Just as FRIENDS should have been, if you'll forgive my crass English stereotyping of New York.

He is right. He got a pipe out of the deal! It has to beat my friend Andre eating amber stems and then looking at me blankly and assuming I can immediately fix the fact he has eaten a 100+ year old pipe stem!

As fadingdaylight said, it's really cool to hear about member link ups. Glad you two were able to share a briar.

I hate New York, small town southern boy, but I would come up for that! Looks like a great place for a nice smoke. If you are ever in New Mexico, let me know. We have some nice scenery here too.
