So I turned the big 40 at the end of July, no big deal really, but as I was renovating my house I received a lot of "decorative" gifts for my milestone presents. Greatly appreciated as they were, I am a guy and I love my toys. So I decided I need to get myself a gift (or several as it seems).
First on the list was a new pipe and some new tobacco to me. I really enjoy the old classic shapes in the smaller sizes so I decided to go for the new Savinelli Petite line and picked up this beautiful little 202 in a smooth finish. I received a free tin of the Brunello Flake and also picked up two highly regarded MacBaren tobaccos to try as well.
I also decided to pick up the new Microsoft Surface Pro 3 as my laptop bit the bullet. So far I have to say it has been pretty remarkable. I connected in to my office network seamlessly and the thing is a joy to type on and use with the full touch screen. Battery has lasted no less than 8 hours on a charge with heavy use at the office so for casual use or use on the road I could easily see the battery lasting for a couple of days. A bit pricey but the extremely light weight (compared to a laptop) and the versatility of a tablet seems to be outweighing the price.
Have a great day gents!

How does it feel? To me it was a milestone. Like another coming of age perhaps. I welcomed it and still do.
