Very nice pipe indeed Dryseason. Thinking the churchwarden is for those pipers lucky enough to enjoy a smoke indoors. Don't see one in my immediate future. As for props, next time you may need to consider a backdrop of MMA DVDs, with a couple of Stallone's recent epics thrown in for good measure to counter any misconceptions this otherwise fine post may have created. I googled "manly books" and I'm afraid none of your authors made the list, though they are fine writers all :lol:
