the smell of Penzance always reminds me of Grandpa!
Yes, that's the one thing I remember about my Grandfather, as he had one chair that he always sat in and leaned over the foot stool where he played countless games of Solitaire while smoking his pipes, and luckily I found his pipes after 50 years.

You know what ..just buy a great looking dream pipe,preferably a Poul winslow or frank axemacher, to be given to him at his 18th b-day.. and keep it secret until that day..If he is into pipes already when he is 18 just give him that pipe..
Great idea Yavuz :)
