Jim, your "traffic" observation is correct and timely. This time of year, I'm literally left "out in the cold" as to my pipe smoking. I've had exactly three bowls since early December 2024!! Crappy cold, windy, sometimes wet and/or snow & ice, WX with no where to smoke outside. My frustration level explodes when I enter my "Dads' room" to see all my pipes and tobacco sitting there unused. So keep up your "good work." Trust me, I can't wait to contribute here again!! And, FWIW, my three bowls were all in the same afternoon...2008/2009 Balkan Sobranie O.S.M. in my large (DH ODA 6 or larger) 40+ year old Ser Jacopo R1 billiard alongside several mugs of English Breakfast Tea!!
