Sailing the Black Seas of Pretentiousness

[davet]

Well I like some Captain Black blends and smoke them in a "low end" Peterson, it's mad I tell you MAD !

One of my more pernicious personality traits is an inability to waste things, even if I don't like them. I am presently choking down a bowl of Clan Highland Gold while I type this, which was gifted to me by a Bulgarian doctor on my last assignment. My step-daughter loves to buy me tobacco for gifts as well, usually from Wally World or from the jar of her local tobacconist. She and my better half love those sweet smelling aros, and I feel obliged to smoke them, especially in their presence. This may award me some style points with them, but my tongue and taste buds are all the worse for it.

The positive note is that I have 150 tins of tobacco aging gracefully, and should I survive the giftings, I may enjoy my beloved VaPers and Englishes in retirement, or at least secretly at pipe club meetings.

Very well written, you definitley have a knack for it. Welcome to the forums and look forward to reading more stories if witten the same... Otherwise I won't even look at them :P
Oh and all though I've never smoked any of the "drug store" blends, I have tried some aro's over the last 25 or so years and just can't handle them... The last one I tried was Moondance and I swear I was smoking my grandmothers potpourri mixture... Bleh!

Mixture 79, Royal Yacht and a mess of others.
Your wife sounds like a hoot - my kind of gal.

Thank you all for your kind words and cordial greetings! My wife, of course, loves to hear everyone's comments, because it reinforces the notion -- that while I may think I'm the grand monarch of our home -- she's the actual mastermind, gleefully pulling the strings.

Kevin and Jeff maybe the two of you could agree to have Jeff write a story for the site. Kind of a trial run.
I can tell you I would eagerly read it and look forward to any future installments.

Sure, I'd willingly sling some ink.

With the dollar in a constant state of decline, smiles are a currency always worth their weight in gold! Sounds like you're a wealthy man, sir.

Well, I'm wrong a lot, so you can bank on that not changing... ever.
