Greetings all,
I'm writing you from the smoke filled studios of my kind parents house. I have taken to smoking at my family's the last few days as it has been well below zero in South Dakota and my lovely wife only lets me smoke in the garage. My parents are both smokers and allow me to smoke in the relaxation of their home so I have taken them up on the offer.
I began smoking 15 years ago with my father as he would take me to the local B&M to enjoy a cigar with him. I continued to smoke cigars for many years before getting into pipes around 4 years ago so I have my father to thank for my love of the hobby.
As I was sitting in his office enjoying some Marble Kake he commented to me that he loved the smell and how he should get a pipe! Coincidentally, my family draws names every year for Christmas and this year I have drawn my father. What a perfect opportunity for me to get him his first pipe.
So the question is... What should I get him? A few days ago we were smoking at the B&M, I on my pipe and him on a cigar, and he commented how he liked the Peterson Dracula that was for sale. Odd choice for a 63 year old man but I think he was drawn to the black finish.
So if you were to buy your father his first pipe, what would it be? All opinions appreciated.
