One hundred and fifty six years ago tonight John Turner died. He was my great great great grandfather. Born in County Laois Ireland, a land locked area, in 1817, he joined the English Navy and went on to serve there as well as the Irish, and finally the English Coast Guard.
Tonight I decided to honour him a little with my evening. I fired up a new purchase, an unsmoked 2012 Peterson Christmas pipe filled with Peterson Irish Oak tobacco. To complete the picture I had a little smash of whiskey from West Cork Distillers, a company headquartered a few miles from where he married and began his family.
Irish Oak is one of my newer go to tobaccos. I love the full body, and the heavy smoke. Combined with the lighter whiskey it made for a superb night. Slainte John!
