A Gentleman And Scholar!

[Bengel]

You Sir, know who you are and have my thanks in this dark time!
After a PM exchange, and before all this “shut down” episode, a fellow piper offered some samples of plug tobacco. This is what was in my mail today!

When I find the Heinrich's curly block I will reciprocate?
I am taking a bit of a break from the pipe and the drink, as work has been very unforgiving of late, so reviews will be forthcoming as things settle.
Best of health and Blessings to you all!
Chuck

Looks like a nice variety of plugs. Hope work slows down enough so you can thoroughly enjoy them.

Another 'thanks for the generosity' thread? I'm seeing a recurring theme around these parts...

Bengel, wise action. I've gone to a pipe or two a week, and a beer or wine with a meal now and then. Any chance of fending off the virus is a good thing. Don't catch it, don't spread it, if you can help it.

like 1 a week and thats just the ones i noticed. Such a good group of people on this site. In a world of me first and doom and gloom it's so refreshing to know kindness still shines out.

Nice gesture! There is always a lot of good people quietly sharing kindness, especially important to do and remember now.

That's the thing about pipe smokers in general - so many hobbyists are edgy and competitive about their hobbies, whatever those may be. My mom was into dog showing and breeding, and I've rarely met a more vain, grasping, snarky set of divas in my life, than when I went with her to dog shows as a kid. It was like fashion extravaganzas for ugly people. I've found most pipers to be people who are generous and easygoing, generous with their knowledge and experience. Not all - some are stingy, malodorous old gits - but most are pretty gracious folks.

That's always nice of good people! That obsidian oil looks familiar....?
