2 Big Surprises Today

[hoosierpipeguy]

Met Cosmic at The Briary today.
1. He is a really good guy.
2. He was kind enough to share some of his home grown tobacco, it was quite good.
I was more surprised by 2 than 1. LOL
Thanks for the tobacco Michael..

Oh poof, I posted on the other thread. Ha ha! anyways, this is what I said...
As I walked in, Mark (hoosierpipeguy) was grilling Skip on some pipes he was looking at, and it tickled me to see someone putting Skip through the ringer on drilling, pits, centered bowls, weight, how many pipes does this guy put out a year? Ha ha, I was trying to hide my chuckles from Skip. "Give him hell, ha ha."
Then after Mark picked out a handful of Northern Briars and (I think) Ser Jacapo pipes, and we got to kick back in the lounge and hang out and talk tobacco and cigars. I love meeting the people behind the posts. What a super guy Mark is, and he knows his cigars and pipe tobaccos. And, kudos to this forum for attracting such great people.
Anyways, I enjoyed hanging out with you, Mark. We'll have to hang out again the next time you come back to town. I'll try to remember to bring more aged blends with me next time.
And, here's our mugshots, ha ha. ::

Pipes and tins may come and go, but friends and enemies are lasting treasures!

So I'm not the only one, thank God [are we all that obvious?] :roll:
Glad to see you guys had a good meet up. I like the Briary very much. I'm down the road in Atlanta and get there a few times a year. Great mug shots.

Npod, hit me up of you are coming down. I used to be more of a piece of furniture there, always bothering customers and interfering with sales, ha ha, but now a days I have been busy with my daughters and foster kids. But, I’m always looking for an excuse to get out and run down there to smoke my pipes or grab a cigar.
