Two really flavorful smokes this morning: OGS in the Savinelli 313 Prince, and Half&Half in the burley cob. I’d like to credit my improving sipping technique, but it could just be things out of my control like the wind, or maybe my sinuses are clearer today. Who knows…

Smoked a bowl of Sutliff Pipe Force Episode 1 in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow acrylic stem. I was wearing my Edward G. Robinson t-shirt when m'lady and I were grocery shopping. The last store we went to had a very young security guard standing inside. He saw my shirt and shocked me by knowing who Robinson was. I asked his age and he said, "I'm twenty-six", and explained that he watches old movies with his grandfather. I told him about the EGR blend and my history regarding the blend, and he said he was just getting into pipe smoking, and was still learning. He owned a corn cob, which he didn't care for, and a metal pipe. I gave him a few tips, and said I'd give him a few pipe tobacco samples. I went home, unloaded the car, zip-locked four aros since he likes them, and drove back to the store. While he was thanking me, I pulled out a Made in France unsmoked zulu (some of you might have seen me smoked those French pipes when I work), and his eyes bulged out as his mouth dropped. I told him that he needed a briar, and gave him some info on briar care. I told him if he wanted to do me a favor, do one for somebody sometime. He smiled and said he would.

Now, it's dinner time.

Class act! I recently did the same with a neighbors son in law.
I firmly believe to keep our passion for pipes alive we have to mentor someone that’s interested .
