A New Favorite Tobacco

-

 I just ordered one pound of Bayou Night by Cornel and Diehl.  Sunlit had Old Professor that used to be my favorite and one my wife liked the least.  I wrote a review for Smoking Pipes explaining that I thought I had found a new favorite in Bayou Night.  It might be a bit spicier than I would like, but I’ve also found there is no tobacco worthy of five out of five stars.  

Bayou Night comes close, in my thinking.  First of all, I enjoy Orientals mixed in a Blend.  Perique adds spice and maybe Bayou Night has a little too much of it.  But apart from this I enjoy Bayou Night and can smoke it all day long.  I’m getting used to the little extra spice of Perique.   But after smoking eight ounces I like it better than most other English I have tried.  

Some English require too much thought and are often too complex.  Other English are more for beginners or for those who want to try an English.  Not that Bayou Night is simple.  But now when I smoke it I know what to expect.  Bayou Morning might be a sister to Bayou Night but it a little spicier without the Orientals and has a higher rating on Smoking Pipes.  

I just happen to like Bayou Night a bit better.  It’s a little less sweet, a tad more spicier, and just a little more flavorful.  Any Virginia based tobacco is good.  There is a natural sweetness to Virginia tobacco.  In my thinking Orientals give a tobacco blend more flavor.  I’m far from an expert on blending tobacco.  Some might suggest that Bayou Morning might be more to my liking.

It’s just a bit too light for me.  Bayou Morning is just not quite as complex as Bayou Night, which might explain why Bayou Morning is more popular.  But I’ve had enough of both to know that Bayou Night is more like Old Professor with a bit more spice.  I can live with the spice.  But all the components are there.  This might be a boring review to some of you, but for me this is pleasure explaining all this.

I’m smoking my Gettysburg pipe with some Bayou Morning until my order arrives tomorrow afternoon.  My coffee is Comfort.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

About Good Vs. Evil

-
 My Angels told me Satan wanted to create and God wouldn’t let him, when I asked them if there were physical unions in heaven.  But here on earth creating is good.  God allows us to create all we want, within limits.  But in doing so we do the will of God knowing He is the Giver  of all life.  My Angels didn’t tell me this, but it is my thinking that we have to recognize God is the Giver of ALL life.  This is why every human life is sacred and why only God can take a human life. This is why God will overlook any sin but the taking of Human Life.  This is my theology from my Angels and why it is so important that we control both our hatred and our anger.  This is why there is the taking of human life.  Satan knows this too and why there is evil in this world.  Without righteousness humanity wouldn’t exist. This is why I believe God won’t let the world be destroyed.  There will always be wars and rumors of war, which is why livin...

 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 ...
