The Gentleman From Richmond
Lost a really good friend of 34 years this morning. He gave a really good run of it at almost 92
He had no vice or I’ll towards anyone. Retired Barber and Sports Announcer here in Richmond.
I will miss talking Box Scores and his recaps of local sports and Stories of his Service in Korea.
Go see an old friend folks as they may be gone tomorrow……

Almost half way through this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed the ferals, and am watching the Braves-Nats game.

So sorry to hear of this. You are very right. Tell your friends and loved ones you love them, now, while you can.

You have so many beautiful pipes, but this one may take the kewpie doll for elegance. Wonderful!

@PaulRVA Very sorry to hear, but thank you for the good reminder to reach out to old friends. My condolences.

On the menu for my morning commute was a bowl of C&D Haunted Bookshop 👻 📚 loaded in my Grande Morez. This was the first smoke I've had in it since I opened up the stem with a drill bit by hand.

And it has made a huge difference! Doesn't feel like I'm fighting the pipe anymore. Still hangs up a little when passing a pipe cleaner, but that'll be easily corrected this weekend, if time permits.

Hope you all have a terrific Thursday!

Did you pick up the Sweated at the Muletown Pipe show?? Just curious.
