Hope to see everyone there!

Dan, are you bringing your wife? She's real cool so do so. Plus, she adds a lot of class to the group.

 

[woodsroad]

Ha! Thanks, John.

If I make it, It will be on my way back from NYC. I have a shoot at the site of the gas explosion that leveled two buildings last week. Now, if my wife has rehersal over at Moravian, she may stop by afterwards. She really had a good time there last month. I think that she gets the idea of a pipe club now. Just another excuse to BS, smoke drink and get out of the house!

Hi All!
I'm planning to make the trek again this month. Hanging out with you guys is almost as addicting as PAD & TAD. :puffpipe:

Peter Stokkebye 701 Virginia is a blend of quality flue-cured leaf from lighter-colored grades. The flavor is naturally sweet, with hay-like and citrusy notes. Great on its own, it also makes a terrific blending component.

 

[papipeguy]

Oh, man; that looks yummy. I'm bringing the biggest bowl I have.

Load it, light, love it.

 

[woodsroad]

I only made 150gr. Think that's enough? :wink:
This was supposed to have been ready two weeks ago, but I've been running non-stop with work. I got my last pixels polished tonight, and my invoices out, then finished blending this and two other concoctions. Then it starts back up tomorrow. I should be able to make it to The Wooden Match, though, if the creek don't rise. I'll be needing a beer and and a bowl.

 

[papipeguy]

Dan, your first beer is on me.

 

[woodsroad]

Sorry about that.

Here, use my napkin.

 

[papipeguy]

Slurp, thanks.
