After completing my chores at the barn, I filled my large BBB Oom Paul with Erinmore Flake for a long relaxing smoke. The goats enjoyed the room note.

When I deployed to the South Pole Station with the Air Force, where the average temperature was -75 F or colder, I never took my pipes. You couldn't smoke inside the Station, anyway. Now in the books I've read on the Golden Age of Antarctica exploration, especially with pictures, many of Shackleton's and Scott's crew smoked their pipes out doors. Tom Cream always has a pipe in his mouth.Earlier today I wanted Watch City Cigar Simply VOriental in a briar, and it being cold outside, I chose this BG Pipes sitter bought in the 1980's. Well, it did a great job with the blend, so gets the honors again now. Funny how pipes will surprise you by doing well with a blend you wouldn’t have matched with it. This grain made me think how understandable it is to love a briar pipe. Even though I don't treat this one so well, it still looks good to me-old reliable too. This blend seems like a good rival to GLP Temple Bar, and I may some perique to test that. The comment about it being cold is about not wanting to subject a better pipe to maybe the thermal stress of the pipe being lit and smoked in less than 40 F, then it sit in the cold in my vehicle after being hot then emptied. Does anyone have opinions on this?

There are farm animals and then there are cats. Cats do what they want and will test you everytime. Be glad you survived without a visit to hospital yourself.Taking my three cats (Mr Mojo Jojo, The Dutchess, and Lady Grey) for their annual vet visit has wiped me out. It might have been easier if I strapped down their cages so they stayed upright during the journey. I am so in awe of folks like Balisong and others who deal with way more animals daily. My farming grandparents must be shaking their heads somewhere on high at this city boy grandkid of theirs. Savinelli Otello smooth 321 with C&D’s Awakened Elder and a dry gin martini.
