   Congratulation grandpa!
   Wishing you and your family the best as you bring this new life into our world and teach him how to be the best he can be. My next bowl will go out to the well being of your grandson.
   Congratulations once again!

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

    Congrats!

    Did you guys light up some cigars?

    One of my friends will be having a child soon. And I'm in charge of the smokes.

    I've narrowed it down to something from Alec Bradley. Either Black Market, or Tempus. They both look/sound so good!

    No cigars yet, but will definitely dedicate a large bowl of Penzance in his honor.

    He's contemplating which blend will be his favorite.

    Yes, that's the one thing I remember about my Grandfather, as he had one chair that he always sat in and leaned over the foot stool where he played countless games of Solitaire while smoking his pipes, and luckily I found his pipes after 50 years.

    You know what ..just buy a great looking dream pipe,preferably a Poul winslow or frank axemacher, to be given to him at his 18th b-day.. and keep it secret until that day..If he is into pipes already when he is 18 just give him that pipe..

    My grandfather died in 1969, well before I was born. He used to smoke Amphora, from what I've heard.

    I know what you mean whitebriar, I wish someone had to think about saving his pipes...

    I've got his Hohner accordion, though, and it is a wonderful keepsake. I just had it restored this past year.

    You are very lucky to have had them kept in a safe place, hobie! They are looking great.

    I can't wait till I'm a grandfather. I get to spoil the grand kids, wind em up, buy them noisy toys, pump em full of sugar, then SEND THEM HOME.
