Tobacco Blend Disaster
Being a cheap S.O.B., I decided to mix some leftover flakes together and smoke them. It was awful! Tongue bite and a terrible room note. Fortunately, the dog had gas and masked the room notes. Think I'll leave the blending to the experts and just throw out the leftover flakes.- firemanjim

Dad Died Last Weekend And I Inherited His Pipes etc.
Sorry for your loss. I inherited pipes from my Father and Grandfather. Don't smoke them often, but when I do, I remember Dad fishing at the lake and Grandad sitting on the porch imparting wisdom like the 11th Commandment. Great memories.- firemanjim

So, I gave up potato chips, pretzels, and beer instead. On St. Patrick's Day, I'll toast with a glass (or 3) of Clontarf while smoking one...- firemanjim

Does Your Spouse Know How Much Your Pipes Cost?
This reminds me of the old gun collector's prayer: "Lord, please don't let my wife sell my guns for what she thinks I paid for them." The same could apply to pipes.....- firemanjim

Zippo, Great company
I have a Zippo that I bought at the ship’s store (USS Holder DD 819) in 1968, still works though the hinge for the top is getting a little wonky.- firemanjim
