I Found It

-

If I smoke an English tobacco my wife doesn’t like, I may have found my English that is a substitute for Old Professor that is no longer available.  I’ve published two reviews on Smoking Pipes website and one was for Old Professor.  I won’t post one for Bayou Night, but it might be what I have been looking for as a replacement for Old Professor. 

Bayou Night has all the similar tobaccos, but it may have a bit more Latakia than I would like.  Latakia is used for spicing up the flavor and Bayou Night might have a tad more Latakia than I’d like, but all the components are there.  I’d give it four and a half stars out of five stars which is the same as I gave Old Professor.  The Orientals are there.  The mixture is a tad different, but of all the English I have smoked since Bayou Night comes closest.

There isn’t much to say otherwise, but it is a very good blend.  I reviewed Davidoff English Mixture and found it to be simply too bland.   Davidoff is known for making good cigars and has a few popular pipe tobacco blends.  But Bayou Night, while not perfect, is the best I have smoked since I first tried Old Professor.  

So, I may have found my substitute.  My wife does not like the room note of Bayou Night.  But when I told her I may have found something I like just as well as Old Professor she asked if that was what I smoking.  It was.  And then I knew.  She didn’t like the room note of Old Professor either.  And it was then that I knew I had a hit with Bayou Night.  

I have another tobacco I ordered with this one which has higher review ratings.  But Bayou Night, while not rated as high, simply does it for me.  I’ll order it again and maybe in a larger quantity.  I wasn’t sure when I ordered the first time in my most recent order, but after a few bowls and being a little different I find I like it just as much.  It is a little spicier, but other than this all the same components are there.  

So, that is my review of Bayou Night by Cornell and Diehl.  Today I am smoking my Boswell pipe with my Bayou Night.  My coffee this morning is Stumptown Holler Mountain.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

The Sherlock Holmes Series

-
 I won’t collect them all and maybe I’ll just have the one Sherlock Holmes pipes.  But it just might be my favorite series of pipes and if I collected them all it would take years for me to do so.  The other series is the Dracula series also by Peterson but I have no interest in the Dracula pipes.  I have my one Sherlock Holmes pipe, but what sets them apart is that they each have a silver band with the Sherlock head stamped on each one.   This makes each pipe different and although they might be similar to other Peterson pipes, each Sherlock Holmes pipe is very distinct and different.  If I were to get another pipe in the series it might be the Professor’s pipe so named for Professor Moriarty.  Each style was smoked by a character either in the book, on stage, or in the movies about Sherlock Holmes and his various enemies.   Each pipe is different and unique and comes in price ranges from about $125-$300.  I’m not interested in the more expe...

Almost

 Tomorrow ends the 14th year since my hear attack.  I had the widow-maker and only by the grace of God and a good heart surgeon I survived.  I had never experienced such pain in my life!  I knew I wasn’t going to die but my heart was damaged so much it functions at about 50%.   It was a Saturday and we were going to visit my mom.  The timing couldn’t have been better!  We could have been out on the road.  It was about nine O’clock in the morning and I had to pump up a tire on the car.  The funny thing is I had a BP check in October and it was 120/80 with no signs of anything being wrong.   I was about 30 pounds over weight and I simply was not taking very good care of myself.  I was under some duress during that time, but still no sign of it happening.  My wife questioned as to whether it was a heart attack but I told her to call 911.  I had no doubt what was happening.   The squad came and they confirmed it was a hea...

A Different Kind of Birthday

-
I might be the only one my age who says I’m fourteen today but I suppose if you were to ask my family I’m in my second childhood so-to-speak.  But yesterday I made a big deal out of my heart attack but today not so much.    It’s not that I fear death—no, I fear pain.  Death doesn’t frighten me in the least.  I have talked with many who have had that kind of heart attack and the women have said it’s worse than child birth.  There really isn’t a pain like it they have said.  If I could go without the pain I’d be in heaven right now.   But if I had to go through that pain to get there I’d rather live.  But a lot has happened in these last fourteen years.  And I’ve been alive to live my life relatively pain free.  My appendicitis wasn’t all that painful but the stomach tube was annoying enough.  But we sold our home and invested in another place in NY and now live with our son here in Florida.   I’m limited in what u do and I ...
