Granada (Spain) 28 feb 1482 – 2 ene 1492. Those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it. History is like a good strong black coffee in the morning: it wakes you up, perks you up, and keeps you from falling asleep. The West stopped drinking coffee a long time ago.View attachment 425840Kaywoodie with Lazy Bones. Smoking a pipe under clear skies in the southwestern desert in a land free of the wonders of Moroccan tea and bustling street markets full of men and women eager to sell silver plated copper teapots while sitting on handmaid Berber Rugs. This is a land that might sound like Nirvana to a Spanish Pipe smoker just trying to enjoy a glass of bourbon and a nice smoke without being bothered by those who think Spain should return to what it was in 900 AD. Am I right @JOHN72. Either that or start importing Burritos and Margaritas. Either way, Gibraltar remains in the hands of England. Until then, here's to enjoying a nice plate of tapas and getting ones feet wet on the Costa Del Sol.
I will second your comments on the "My Father - The Judge" cigar, Dino. They are fabulous sticks.....I attended an evening house party at a good friend's home that featured a large patio and a warming fire pit. After dinner my long-time friend, neighbor and cigar buddy, Judge Tony (he's a Circuit Court Judge), offered me a My Father "The Judge" toro. Wow, what a terrific cigar! We enjoyed them by the fire. The smoke was somewhat strong, quite spicy with a hint of dark chocolate. It was the perfect end note to a wonderful evening.
Neat pipe, congrats! How does that pipe taste? Can you taste the Mesquite?Don’t think I’ll quit my day job anytime soon, but I had fun making this (my first ever) little pipe out of a piece of lump mesquite I saved from the grill this summer. Having a bowl of Palmetto Balkan for its first bowl. View attachment 426561
