Dear Friends

[Behike54]

Greetings,


I am not sure what to say about my absence that doesn't sound like an excuse.

I miss the board and everyone on it and I certainly owe a few people an apology. I should have reached out and at least said I was taking a breather and that all the changes in my life, such as moving, issues at home, the health of a parent, and just as overall feeling of life being out of control, was just too much. I didn't realize how much I was isolating myself and how small my world had become.

I had this epiphany today about all this and am just putting one foot in front of the other; the next thing I know I am logging onto BoB.

It is my hope that all is well with everybody and that I will be welcomed back as I was when I originally found BoB.

Cheers,

Jack

Jack - things in life happen. I'm not on as much this time of year.

Don't worry, Brother, we'll all be here - do what you need to do with your family and yours.

Good to have you back, BH. Life happens. BoB continues. It'll be like you never left before you know it...questioning your sanity and having a good time. :mrgreen:

Good to see you post again. Now cut the pleasantries and let's get down to discussing pipes and tobacco.

Welcome back Jack. The pipe as therapy. The forums too. Canna go wrong with a pipe.

 

[dshpipes]

Welcome back, Jack! I'm still working my way through those stogies you sent me. Phenomenal, every one of them.

How's that Penzance treating you?

Cigars are great, no doubt. But if I had to come up on them, @$8 per, as compared to equivalent bowls, 1 bowl/1 cigar, it would cost $200,000.00.

150 lbs X 500g = 75,000g
75,000 / 3g = 25,000 bowls
25,000 X $8 = $200,000.00

My 150 lb cellar will cost me ~$6,000.00. That's not counting pipes. But I smoke 6 cobs and am perfectly satisfied with $60.00 for ebay off-brand pipes.

I'll worry about pipes when I have the tobacco to put in them.
