Thank you. Oh, I will. The fires so far are not near me. Just the thick smoke. But I have my vehicle packed and ready to run if that changes. btw, you might chuckle to hear that my preps include a box with jars of favorite tobaccos and 2 spare pipes. Funny, I know. But I know I'll be glad if anything happens. How does the saying go- It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.Last night it was a home mix of Sir Walter Raleigh regular, D&R Two-Timer, and PS black Cavendish, in a once-unfinished Savinelli bent Dublin (a 920 I think, though it isn't stamped). Like many home-mixes, it was better than many standard blends. The pipe has colored nicely over the years, darkened though not yet shiny. Others of mine have gotten a real polish without wax or any polish, though lots of hand buffing.
Carol, I wish you the best with that wild fire on a red flag windy day. The ferocity of those is awe inspiring. If in doubt, move on out.
Damn uncontrolled fire. I'm sorry to hear that my dear Carol. Hopefully it will end soon, and they will all be well...........No pipe today. I'm smoking too much forest fire to add to the fumar. Cough, hack! Another red flag windy day. I can't imagine how disheartening this weather must be for all the firefighters. Not to mention the evacuated homeowners who don't know if they even have a home anymore. Hope all you good folks on this forum have a great day. Be safe.
Thank John. NM currently has several big fires, charring thousands of acres of beautiful forests, and hundreds of human homes. I don't want to think of all the birds and animals that are dying. Breaks my heart. I salute the firefighters who are trying so hard to control these raging blazes.Damn uncontrolled fire. I'm sorry to hear that my dear Carol. Hopefully it will end soon, and they will all be well...........
