When I was a young lad, (in the 60's), a neighbor of mine would pile ALL the neighborhood kids in his Mercury Comet and take us fishing, (I think back now- it was an excuse to get away from his nagging wife and drink many cans of beer)!
He would throw his line out, crack a beer and fire up a bowl of PA.
We'd do more swimming, flipping over rocks, and at least 10 times we'd ask him if he had PA in a can..... Better let him out!
When I figured I was ," Mature Enough " to smoke a pipe, it was my first choice. The aroma peeled back the years. Was all good for maybe a year.
I enjoyed fly fishing and smoking PA.
I drifted away to other brands and a few months ago picked up a pouch.
Waded out, flipped my fly into the water,filled the bowl, fired it up and waiting to be taken back to a better time (I think).
The taste was all chemical? Like cough medicine? It was horrible. I tried a few more bowls and it never got any better.
tossed the pouch
Broke my heart! Another memory crushed on the rocks of time!
