Savinelli Favola Churchwarden

-

 

I wasn’t going to write today and started the morning with my Angel pipe and decided on this one after a couple of bowls and the morning progressed.

So, today’s pipe is my Savinelli Favola Churchwarden pipe.  Favola in Italian means fable.  I don’t have a lot to say about this pipe except that the stem is very unusual.  My wife helped me pick out this pipe.  The Favola line was introduced by Savinelli in 2023.  I was shopping for a new Churchwarden pipe and happened to see this one on the Smoking Pipes website.  

I immediately fell in love with the unusual acrylic mouthpiece.  I had a similar Savinelli Churchwarden pipe, but was close to burning out so I wanted a replacement for it.  I saw this one on the website and showed it to my wife.  She loved the stem.  It is a very unusual pipe and I have smoked this one in public a few times and received compliments on it.  

A Churchwarden is perfect for when I am reading on my phone.  It is perfect for reading or just watching TV.  The bowl is relatively small for about ten or fifteen minutes at the most.  But it is a conversation piece by those interested in a different pipe.  My wife still loves this pipe as it is a very unusual pipe.  My tobacco this morning is Yale Mixture by Cornell and Diehl and my coffee is Founder’s by Stumptown.  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...
