*** What Are You Smoking?*** (February 2016)

[newbroom]

International Pipe Smoking Day!

I dug out the remnants of some blends I had tried earlier this year and am currently smoking some Bald Headed Teacher in a magical old estate Canadian embossed: St James London Pipe. It's got a thin-ish meer lining and is smooth as glass. I love just holding this and feeling the finely shaped contours, my thumb and forefinger closed around the bowl at the shank. I find myself fondling the bowl as I sip its contents.

This pipe is one I acquired very early on in my pipe experience, on ebay, for $.99 + shipping. I would probably feel really badly if I ever broke or lost it.

It'll be 2 years for me in the spring. I've really enjoyed these pages, folks!

Dunhill Jubilee Mix in a Laurence Kothari 1/2 bent smooth billiard. There is no mention of this anywhere on the Web - does anyone know anything about it?. Laurence Kothari bought the tin in the 1990s and vacuum sealed it. This is the first time it's been opened. We don't know what's in it beyond Virginia and no Latakia, but it is in perfect condition.

Harris,

that Radesian should belong to me.
I know that you'll agree and be a nice guy and sell it to me.
Thanks.
Your pal,
