Over the weekend I received an email from a pipe smoker who found me at the blog of my local pipe smoking club here in Sacramento. He had received an 8oz tin of Haddo's Delight, but even though the package said Haddo's Delight what was inside was anything but. Inside was a heavy latakia which he does not like. The website sent him a correct replacement, but since no one knew what was inside they did not need it sent back to them. So what does he do? Does he throw it out? No, he finds local smokers and donates it.
I enjoyed a beer and a smoke with him for over an hour while I picked up the donation. It was pleasant as can be, sitting outside, at sunset, in Davis, CA. I just wanted to say a public thank you and also to call attention to how friendly our pipe brothers are. Even the mean ones are nice to each other.
Keep giving pipe smoking a good name.
