Today will be a quiet day since it is a holiday in Europe. Good old May Day, the workers day, we don't have that day over here in the U.S. I am surprised we have not introduced it as I am sure there are one or two in public life who would love to review a parade of young men marching around with purpose! To me it is a wonderful day since I am guaranteed that I will not receive any annoying calls from clients of the firm asking questions I will have to answer for the umpteenth time. My pipe de jour is this well colored 'Devils Arse' with ornate silver work, amber stem and exceptional coloring. Today I will be smoking 2000 RB Plug with a move to Coniston Cut Plug later in the day.
