Thanks all! My dad is cool, and I got him some pipes for Christmas too. He doesn't smoke as often as I do, and he mostly prefers aromatics (I like anything but!). We are in Delaware and were planning a daytrip to the Chambersburg Boswell's (three hour drive) over our Christmas break (we work for a school district so had a week off after Christmas) but damned if we both didn't catch this awful stomach bug going around. Once I recovered from mine, he caught it, so we had to postpone. We may head up there this Saturday or next though!
