A Decision

-

 I've decided not to order the Carter Hall I thought about ordering.  I've removed it from my wish list.  I don't have much Tropical Export left and might order more.  But I did add about a half dozen or so blends I haven't tried, including one that is an English Aromatic.  I decided to put Revelation Match in my shopping list.  Revelation is no longer made as it was for Einstein, which was his tobacco of choice.  But it is now a blend offered by Sutliff.  

As for others on my shopping list, I have about five blends I've never tried and might order an ounce or two of each.  I'm most curious about Euleen's Dream, which is offered by CAO, which is a company I first knew as a manufacturer of a good cigar.  Eileen's Dream as an Aromatic is rated up there with Autumn Evening as a very pleasant Aromatic both for the pipe smoker and as a room note.  I'm thinking my wife might enjoy the room note as much as Tropical Export.

I have now about four Churchwarden pipes in my list, including one Nording pipe.  I told my wife that on several lists I have seen lists about good first pipes, Nording is appearing on those lists.  Nording, Peterson, and Savinelli all make excellent good first pipes that are affordable.  But they all make expensive pipes in higher price ranges.  One can collect only these pipes and end up with an excellent pipe collection.  

My next pipe will be a Churchwarden from one of these three companies.  My list has each one represented all at about the same price.  But I'm in no hurry to buy another pipe.  I'd just like to add a new Churchwarden and put it in my pipe rotation.  As for tobacco, I am running low on Tropical Export, but have a lot of Autumn Evening.  I am almost out of Old Professor I keep at my son's house.  But I can smoke Autumn Evening both here and there.

The best-selling tobacco is Captain Black Original.  I might buy a 7 ounce can of that and keep it at my son's house.  As much as I like Early Morning Pipe, I might not get anymore pure English tobacco this time around.  The English Aromatic is something I haven't tried and am quite curious about it.  

Well, those are my thoughts as I build my next order for Smoking Pipes.  I have four Churchwarden pipes in my list, but will just choose one, and might prefer something that would be the least expensive, but I'll see what the Bookkeeper has to say about it.  Today it is my Stanwell pipe with some Autumn Evening.  I thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
