The Best I Could Do

-

 Of course there are tobaccos exclusively for Christmas.  I could begin to list them all, but in making out my most recent tobacco order, I had a list of tobaccos for Christmas.  There was Christmas Spirit, Frosty Mint, Jolly Ol’ St. Nicholas and a host of others.  So, I had to settle for two two ounce tins of Golden Days of Yore, which I just a had a tin recently and didn’t find it all that Christmas-y.  And instead of mint, I found a Cinnamon based tobacco instead along with Buttered Rum.  

So, I didn’t find exactly what I was looking for, but ordered what I thought might have a kind of Christmas aroma.  There was a Balkan blend I wanted that was also sold out, but found a tobacco called Mild English, which I thought might be similar to Early Morning Pipe by Peterson.  It could be an English my wife might like, but I’m not holding my breath on that since I have yet to find an English blend she likes.  The aroma of any English blend never smells the same as most any Aromatic.  

These are the four tobacco blends I have in my most recent order.  None of these I have had before except Golden Days of Yore.  My thinking is that it depends on how much the aroma of Cinnamon actually smells like Cinnamon.  But at least Cinnamon is a fragrance often found around Christmas. 

So, we will see how my tobacco order does for Christmas.  I hope to give my wife and others a kind of aroma they’d get from Santa’s pipe.  Obviously the English tobacco blend is not for Christmas, but I order some English with every order.  This morning I am smoking my La Roma Valero pipe with Good Stuff Menthol that has a kind of minty aroma.  My coffee this morning is Gevalia.  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...
