So, earlier I decided to go for my evening lunt (I love that word). The sky had darkened some earlier and the wind picked up, but it blew past. Well as I stepped outside the door, the air was cool and calm. So I start out for my walk. I take my Medico I got at an antique store in Louisiana packed with some good 'ol Half and Half and proceeded to light it. I paused expecting the wind to kick up at that moment. The wind usually never fails to start blowing whenever I go to light a pipe, but tonight all was good. I continue on my little walk getting further and further from home. Wouldn't you know it that a huge storm just came out of nowhere? One minute all is fine, next one heck of a downpour. I flipped my pipe over and turned around hoping to make it back home without getting soaked. No such luck. The rain kept getting harder and harder. The wind started to blow and I was having trouble keeping my eyes open. Then the lighting started flashing. I'm starting to get scared at that point, but somehow my pipe is still going. Well I keep on going till I make it to my front porch and lo and behold the storm stops. Didn't lighten up, just stops. Shaking my head, I proceeded inside, changed my sopping wet clothes, wiped the water off of my pipe and went to the back porch to finish it. I'll have y'all know that I kept it lit from the moment it started raining until I got back! All in all, it was actually a satisfying smoke.
