Jim (
@JimInks), sounds good. I will smoke a bowl of Rouxgaroux in a John Bessai straight blasted straight bulldog John Bessai right now
mmm good. Thank you, Jim, for giving your palate and time to Ernie and the guys in Boston to make some really great blends!
Thinking of you, I'm going to try and pull up your NYT input on that lady cartoonist from the 50's or 40's (forgot her name), 'cause I REALLY ENJOYED reading what you had to say about her (short term memory fails me 'cause of that stroke last fall or maybe just old age LOL
)?).
Just finished my first bowl in a used/estate Brigham from Smoking Pipes US with a fresh maple insert--filled with lovely HH Mac Baren Pure Virginia Flake. What luxury! What joy!! I gotta wonder if those great guys and gals throughout history (who are not so much studied now; i.e. Plato, Aristotle, etc and others perhaps still attended to--Jesus, Peter, Andrew, James & John, etc; and gals like Queen Victoria and those great queens and lady royalty from the Orient and Europe) smoked a bowl of something after lunch or in the cool of the evening? Perhaps if Adam had enjoyed a nice bowl in the Garden and paused to relight and take a puff, he might have said to her..."err, let my think about this for a minute while I sip this bowl...
--no sacrilege intended and sorry for the typos if any.
Jim, You-Sir--ROCK!
kindly
