A Cool French Pipe

-

First of all, I want my family to know that all I need are accessories for pipe smoking.  I do not need a new pipe.  But every once in awhile I come across a pipe I really like and is what I call affordable at around a $125 price range.  No one needs to spend more unless one finds a pipe one really likes and can afford it.  I consider $125 to be the price of a good affordable pipe price range. It's a Chacom and is priced at  $119.85, which checks all the boxes. 

The above pipe is called a Churchill named for the famous British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.  I showed this pipe to my wife who said it was really a nice looking pipe.  I like pipes that boarder on the unusual.  But perhaps it's the bent stem shape.  The grain is quite unusual as is the sandblast pattern of this pipe.  The stem gives it an old school look.  

The brass fitting around the stumel is what sets it apart.  This could be a pipe for formal occassiins, but is just as suited for smoking while reading a book or watching TV.  This pipe looks more expensive than it is.  Chacom might not have the Dunhill pedigree, but although they are now made in France they do have a certain amount of British heritage behind them.  

I'm not going to be posting photos and descriptions here in hopes someone will see and buy it a gift for me.  No.  I have plenty of pipes.  I come across photos of pipes I just really like and this just happens to be one of them and I explain why I like it.  Price now is a major determing factor.  This is a very nice pipe at a very nice price.  Chacom has its roots in the British Comoy name.  While this pipe isn't a Comoy pipe it is a very fine pipe.

This morning it is myPeterson Sherlock Holmes pipe with. some Haunted Bookshop.  I brought eight pipes with me to NY and today's pipe is one of them.  I brought a pipe for seven days of the week plus one.  My coffee this morning is Classico Gourmet coffee and I'm sitting on the deck this morning enjoying the woods up here in NY.  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...
