A Danish Estate Pipe

-


 It's not often I come across a straight stem pipe I like.  But I do like the handmade design of this $100 Danish Estate pipe by Johs.  I recently bought a straight stem Peterson pipe and now own about three or four of them.  But the partial rustication on this pipe caught my attention along with the price of this unsmoked example.  In addition is the natural color of the Briar wood of this pipe in contrast to the black stem and design really sets this pipe apart.

I have several handmade pipes and some that look as though they are handmade, but are machine made.  The style of bowl is called a Brandy, which is deeper and cylindrical in shape.  The style of this pipe is Canadian, which is attributed to a straight stem pipe such as this.  I didn't have much for this morning and thought I'd look for an unusual pipe on the Smoking Pipes website which is where I downloaded this photo from.

Johansen is the carver of this pipe and he carves about 1,000 pipes a year.  The color of the rustication is a kind of ginger color and doesn't show up much as ginger in the photo.  There isn't a whole lot more I can say about this pipe, but my pipe this morning is my Nording Angel pipe.  My wife asked me recently how I enjoy smoking my Angel pipe.  It's not because this pipe is a gift from her, but it has become one of my favorite smoking pipes.  The skin covering of this pipe is holing up very well, with no blisters and not much discoloration.  

My coffee this morning is American Black Rifle Headless Horseman's Pumpkin Spice black coffee.  My tobacco is Lane 1-Q having smoked the last of my Longbottom Leaf, Sea Mist, and Whiskey tobaccos one of my sons gave to me for Father's Day with the 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...

 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...
