Had the most awesome pipe voyage. Went out for a walk..new to pipe smoking but have a large collection of pipes grebows, mastercrafts kaywoodies etc.
Took out a small bowl grebow straight stem Van Roy and packed it with P.A set off for a stroll nice day! Perfect smoke... excellent packing...it was just perfect. After a while an old man was sitting on bench as I was strolling by he saw me smoking my pipe and called out to me, said it was rare to see someone still smoking a pipe. He liked the smell asked me to join him. I only needed one relite was puffing away and he told me the scent reminded me of his grand father..this man was in his 90's...you could see the gleem in his eyes as the smoke brought back memories of his youth telling me sitting on his grandfathers floor playing with a wooden truck, while his grandpa read the paper and smoked his pipe. Amazing how a pipe and scent can trigger so many memories. He asked if he could see my pipe, I handed it over to him , he closed his eyes was slowly rubbing the bowl and stem with his thumb and fingers,all the while smiling. He thanked me for bringing back good memories to him. .it's the first time that I've smoked a bow to fine white ash .I left him a small pouch of P.A to honor the memory of his grandpa....it's the little things in life that bring so much Joy to someone .Peace and happiness to all.
