C&D Tuggle Hall, a burley based English blend, in a Tinder Box house pipe, a St. Ives, the first pipe I bought about 40 years ago, a smooth bent pot with a unique vertical saddle stem, still smoking great and looking good after all these years. As a burley devotee, I especially enjoy this burley based English blend. I think the pipe is sourced from a French maker, possibly Chacom. Imagine, July 1 tomorrow.
Had to scrub my vets appointment to have one of my two cats vaccinated, routine rabies and distemper. Couldn't get him in the carrier. His brother went without a problem a week ago. This boy is too spoiled, but he follows me from room to room and tucks me in at night. I'm too nice. I'll try again. I'd carry him by hand. He's chipped but not tagged, and i'm afraid he'd never get back if he bolted. I need Tabitha the cat whisperer who worked with horses and could trim a cat's claws in her lap when others had to hold her (the cat) down. It's mind set and confidence -- unquestioned trust and a calm mind.
