On another thread, dealing with G. Huybrecht pipes, I posted about the one I bought from Max Engel about thirteen years ago. I realized I hadn't smoked it in a couple of months, filled it with Fred Hanna's Wilderness, poured some Peach/Mango Green Tea over Gentleman Jack and bergs, and joined my Chicago Pipe Buds for a ZOOM meeting.
Also, I want to celebrate bnichols for your successful procedure, wish you a speedy and complete recovery, and praise your spirit and outlook. Stay well, my pipe friend.
