This cold Sunday morning, I am drinking hot coffee and smoking GH Balkan Mixture in the MM Dagner corn cob pipe. It gurgled, so I placed a longer stem and the problem was solved, nice pipe.
The carpet that can be seen below, was inherited to me by my grandmother's (mother of my father) side. According to information it was bought/made in Istanbul. There is a date on it: 1896!
A few years back, a metal cover for Bic lighter (small size) was given to me. I liked it a lot and I started searching for similar covers for the normal size Bics, since it is the lighter I mostly use. By "searching" I mean in real shops, flea markets etc, both locally and abroad. My ladies (the older and the younger one) were also searching for me. No result. Before a couple of months, I saw a post in our local forum and a pipe friend was using such a lighter. He is an "expert" in discovering objects of desire, related to our hobby and a really nice guy. He advised me and I ordered online. On Friday I received the package from "the land of we have/make everything you need" at the Far East.
So, now I am very happy with my new lighters - thank you Gerasimos and P.R.C. industry!
Ah, the joy of little things!
A happy Sunday to all of you good people!
