Remember people, a well dressed smoker is a smoke'n smoker. So, just don't smoke.... be the smoke.

Yes, I did. In Fez of all places. I took the one you sent me - I normally keep it at my other place, and all of the Moroccans kept telling me that the one I had was a Tunisian Fez.View attachment 135434

Here I am at Volubilis in Morocco wearing the Lotus Eater apparently more Tunisian Fez. View attachment 135436
And again in Fez as we strolled through the Medina. It was then that our guide, Halib, insisted that I go to a hattery and purchase the authentic Fes. And so we went. Not a tourist one mind you... no, not me. Anyway, the Fez I received from you was considered good quality by the Moroccans, just wrong country.

​

One can never have too many in my opinion

One last moment of Fez - both the black jacket and the hat are from Fes. Both made in the Medina.

I call this picture, Mustafa meets the Blue Man.

Taken in Rissani, somewhere in the middle of Eastern Morocco on the road to Algeria.

And here is my wife and me a bit later wearing the Fez from Fes. @LotusEater The difference isn't so much in quality as it is in shape and stiffness. The Fez from Fess's is more dressy, but the Fez from Tunisia or probably Turkey, is more Ottoman and better for smoking in a smoking jacket. Choices. Such a first world problem. I mean, seriously, how am I expected to manage?

Subtle modifications in a gentleman’s (or lady’s) attire can make a world of difference. They are what sets one apart from the herd.

We do feel blessed. We leave for Italy in August. I have no idea what their smoking attire is. But I am sure I'll find it.

See the pipe, smoke the pipe, be the pipe.

I and the pipe are one;

I am the pipe and the pipe is me.

All that smoke the pipe are the the pipe and all who are the pipe are one.

Did a second set of walks, and am close to finishing this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Deception Pass plug in a smooth straight brown late 1930s Linkman’s Dr. Grabow Deluxe Bruyere 9703B pot with a nickel accent and a black tapered vulcanite stem. A very late lunch follows this smoke.
