A Nice Brebbia Pipes

-

 

I own many pipes similar to the example above.  Brebbia is a Canadian company that uses the finest Briar to make inexpensive pipes.  The above pipe has a list price of $79.33 on Smoking Pipes website.  It's proof a good pipe doesn't have to be expensive.  There are collectors that pay thousands for the rarest pipes.  But I'm not a collector, as such.  I own many pipes and have smoked them all.  Some I smoke more than others.  I have my favorites.  But I would have no fear of owning this pipe.  

Eighty bucks is a good price point for both the one starting out or one like myself that might like to just have a new pipe without spending a lot.  This pipe is from the Algonquin series named for a state park in Canada.  It speaks of the natural qualities of a pipe.  I like the grain on this pipe in particular.  And the stain is a natural walnut which brings out the quality of the grain.

There's nothing special about this eitlghty dollar pipe, except for its classic shape and styling.  Brebbia doesn't make expensive pipes, but this pipe has the look and styling that makes it appear to be more expensive than it is.  This style of pipe hangs comfortably from the mouth as it is smoked often being favored by the pipe smoker who likes to look over a pipe instead of at it as the Canadian style is more apt to be in the mouth.  

It is a good pipe style for reading or studying, but is just a more classic style of pipe.  It could be a more of a style for dress rather than leisure, but could be for both.  I like how the bowl is more pointed on the bottom rather than rounded.  There is really not a lot more I can say about it, but if one wonders whether a good pipe can be had for less than hundred, this pipe is proof.  I would have no fear of putting this pipe in my regular rotation.  It may not increase in value, but this pipe is designed for the discerning pipe smoker who doesn't want to spend a lot for a pipe.  I would have no reservation on recommending this pipe to anyone.  Today it is my Alpha pipe which was a Christmas gift from my wife years ago, which is similar to the pipe above, with some Captain Black Original.  My coffee this morning is a cup of hot black Guatamalan coffee.  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...
