    A late birthday present from my girlfriend (Please help!!)

    Yes, definitely need a lot of tobacco now - and Christmas is coming! That is a beautiful, beautiful piece, an heirloom to be sure. The girlfriend is a keeper, to be so thoughtful - does she have a sister? I've already got a good one, but some of your Briar Brothers need a Lady as good as yours!

    Blowing Off Some Steam.
