Title edited to capitalize important words. Warning: This had better be the last time you make careless titles. More points towards a ban will be forthcoming. I've edited at least five of your "Rumination" series, and pointed out the etiquette of titling.
It’s been almost fifty years since that foil pouch of Velvet, instead of the little can, that I paid a quarter for at the grocery store had this glorious picture of a big pickaxe style Danish freehand pipe on it.
K.B Youngblood, the businessman who owned the A Frame Cafe even smoked a real one, he had several, he rotated. K.B. was tolerant of a kid asking questions, and he said he’d bought them at the PX when he was in the service, and you could still buy them at real pipe shops in Kansas City, down on the Plaza.
He said they were all different prices from about $35 to as much as $100 for the best ones.
I wanted one, some kind of bad, but didn’t want to pay $35 for a pipe and didn’t know where to buy one if I did.
K.B. Youngblood sold the A Frame and moved away. It was in the late 1970’s, I was in college at Kansas City, and my girlfriend and I walked into a new Dairy Queen near the Plaza abd there K.B. was, the owner, smoking his big Danish freehand.
He admired my girlfriend while she admired his pipe and that day I went to the pipe shop on the Plaza and bought my Grade 3 Nording, which almost busted me, after paying for lunch, as I remember it was forty dollars.
I have a different girl now, my wife for twenty years, and today this glorious Grade 1 Nording came in the mail, brand new, only $83 delivered.
My girl and this new pipe are much higher grade, but what’s more glorious than a Number One Grade Nording.
I wonder how much it costs, to produce a Nording?
They don’t waste money on style changes, for certain.
