I forgot to mention. When he left, he got in his car and it took a long time for him to leave. Wife said he was packing the pipe. I looked out the window and he was lighting up.
Awesome story. When I first read the title I got a bad feeling like someone nicked one of your pipes.
There's a guy that smokes a pipe the next block over from me. I've been tempted to try and catch him just to share some tobacco with him.
