Sounds like a perfect post-prandial pipe my friend! Kudos and it definitely gives me some food for thought (pun intended, of course). But it does beg the question, what to smoke after a bologna sammich? Perhaps Borkum Riff?
Couldn't have said it better. From the pics I've seen of your figural pipe collection, I bet it's really something in person. Nice job on the Meer. I know who I'm coming to with repair questions!
My two cents - I don't care for the taste after a bowl has sat too long. I smoke it and if i'm interrupted and the bowl is cold - I dump it out. That said, it's mind over matter. If you don't mind then it doesn't matter.
Great thread, but every time I think it's safe to drink something without shooting it out my nose, along comes Ron!!!
You sir, are a safety hazard.
Awesome Skynrd reference BTW.
Wow! That's a great pipe and a terrific story. I can't think of a better connection to a pipe than something like that. Enjoy it and Happy Birthday amigo!!!
