Golden Days of Yore Tobacco Review

-

 I’m not sure I can spend a whole review on just a single pipe tobacco, but I’ll try.  Golden Days Of Yore is a pipe tobacco by Cornell and Diehl.  I’ve now smoked a number of bowls in a couple of different pipes and as the name would suggest it is a small batch tobacco for Christmas of ‘24.  But my first comment about it is that it has no tongue bite and once lit remains lit to the end.  

This blend has a slight spiciness to it with a hint of cinnamon flavor.  There is a spiciness, but not a Latakia spiciness.  There is a sweetness to it most notably from the Virginias.  This is a tobacco that is an Aromatic and would be best smoked by a fireside at Christmas, no doubt about it.  It has a very pleasant room note most would enjoy indoors.  

It comes only in a two-ounce tin and is anvailable only for this year.  All the aromas of Christmas are there including Allspice and Nutmeg.  Flavors of Chocolate and Rum are also present and has a room note most anyone would enjoy.

This is a tobacco that would put the hardiest of Scrooges in the mood for Christmas.  Perhaps what can be most said about it is that this is a tobacco that doesn’t require a lot of analysis.  Once lit one sits back and enjoys it.   This tobacco is easy to smoke and enjoy.  Maybe it’s too early yet to be smoking this blend.  I was going to save it, but decided to open the tin and have some until my tobacco order arrived .  I’m glad I did and will tuck away the rest until closer to Christmas.  I give this blend a high four star review as it is that good.

Today I am smoking my Dunhill pipe.  My coffee this morning is Mexicana La Concordia.  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...
