There Might Be

-

 

There just might be some Dunhill pipes and accessories in my future.  But right now the above Peterson Churchwarden Tankard pipe was in my wishlist on Smoking Pipes.  They are having a Black Friday sale and I told my wife the above pipe can be an early Christmas gift.  It was priced on sale for under $80.  I told her this was a good time to buy this pipe.  So, I ordered it with eight ounces of Sutliff Christmas Spice tobacco.  This way I can enjoy the pipe and the Christmas tobacco through the holidays.

Really though, there isn't anything I want for Christmas that I don't already have.  I just want to be with Family through the holidays.  That is really all I want.  This was just a good time to buy this pipe.  And I hated to pass up a 15% discount on the pipe and 10% discount on the tobacco.  The pipe just has a Christmas look to it.  I saw this pipe and thought to myself that it looks like the kind of pipe Santa Claus would smoke.  

The tobacco is one of the top sellers on Smoking Pipes with a half dozen reviews giving it four and half stars, with the most common comments being it smells like Christmas.  I could write reviews on the Corn Cob Pipe with a Button Nose, but not much needs to said except the aroma is kind of like marshmallows and hot chocolate.  The Christmas Spice is mostly cinnamon, vanilla, and caramel.  

I didn't want to wait til Christmas to receive both as a gift, so my wife says it's an early Christmas gift I can enjoy through the season.  As far as pricing is concerned one could say it's a relatively cheap pipe.  No, it's not the Dunhill Estate Churchwarden pipe, but I don't care.  First of all, it's made by Peterson and might be the cheapest pipe Peterson makes.  But nothing is cheap about the quality and value of any Peterson pipe.  The same care that went into this pipe is the same quality Peterson puts into every pipe they make.

If it's made by Peterson it's a great pipe no matter the cost.  As for the tobacco I can only guess.  I smoke mostly tobacco blended by either Cornell and Diehl or Sutliff.  They might be less expensive tobaccos in bulk, but they blend just good tobacco that is never over priced.  Once again I'm borrowing a photo by Smoking Pipes and I'll give them all the free advertising they want.  I just really like this company.  They spend a lot of time and effort in describing each and every product.  The above pipe isn't like the one I'm getting.  It's the actual pipe.

So, this is my post for this morning.  Nothing fancy but a good pipe.  This morning I decided to smoke my Nording Angel pipe with some Christmas Corn Cob Pipe tobacco.   For me at least, as with most if not all of you, my favorite time of year is here.  I can't wait for my Christmas Spice tobacco to arrive!  And my new pipe! 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...

 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...
