Today I broke a rule: I failed to give my smoke - Irish Cask in a carefully-selected Futura half-bent rusticated Dublin - my full attention, and having lit up, started reading some nonsense about Rennes-le-Chateau, the Merovingian Dynasty and what 'Pax 681' really means, might mean, doesn't mean, etc. I should know better: the nuanced subliminality was lost as my attention wandered off in the footsteps of the Church fathers at the Third Ecumenical Council of Constantinople, and in return I just got an average nicotine fix with a hint of Perique. That'll learn me to mind what I'm about... 😆

Happy Friday to everyone! Smoking a bowl of ODf in a searock billiard and enjoying a dark roasted coffee.

A little piece of pipe trivia for everyone…

Legend has it that waaay back in the 1930s, JRR Tolkein was given his first bowl of year 2000 McClelland Chrismas Cheer in a Dunghill by his good friend, Albert Einstein. JRR said, “What is this shit? Heinz ketchup?” and he dumped the bowl right after lighting it up. From that day forth, the only tobacco Tolkien smoked was a blend called Winchester from a little company called Cornell & Diehl. That’s exactly what I’m smoking today, out of a Tekin meerschaum pipe.

A lot of people don't know this

Thanks for keeping these important stories alive
