Another One

-

 I have in my next order one pound of a tobacco I have not tried before.  It’s an English called Cordial by Cornell and Diehl.  One pound might be a bit much for a tobacco I have not had, but I am certain I will like it.  If’s a tobacco blend that has Virginias. Orientals, black Cavendish, and Latakia, I am certain I will like it.  I read the description and a few reviews.  It gets a 4.4 rating from Smoking Pipes.  

It’s not much of a risk to order a pound because I am certain I will like it quite well.  I once ordered a fourteen ounce tin of Carter Hall without having smoked it before.  I take risks on tobacco because for me it’s not just a couple of ounces.  

I want to live with a new blend for a while before I evaluate it.  I’ll get a couple of ounces in a tin from time to time.  But I find a few bowls of a tobacco really isn’t enough to evaluate.  I need to live with it for a while.  But a good English isn’t much of a risk.  I’m not as willing to take that risk on an Aromatic.  I’ve smoked over a pound of Bayou Night, and I find it has a bit more Perique than I’d like.  

But it has become a favorite.  But still I liked Old Professor the best.  But it has been discontinued.  I need to find something else.  I really liked Quiet Nights, but it does not come in bulk.  I need to find something less expensive.  I know I will like Cordial by Cornell and Diehl.  I order more from Cornell and Diehl than I do any other tobacco blenders.  

Finding a substitute for Ild Professor hasn’t been easy.  I also like Peterson’s 965 blend.  Someone mentioned that blend in a review of Cordial.  That is one reason why I have a pound in my order.  I might cut it down to eight ounces and order eight ounces of something else.  I’ll keep studying before placing my order, but this is how it stands for now.  

I am smoking some Bayou Night in my “haunted” Gettysburg pipe this morning while drinking a special blend of coffee from Sprouts.  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...

Bach and a Pipe

-
 Bach was known to drink wine and smoke a pipe.  I did a little research in the area and found he was known to use tobacco in a pipe.  Tobacco came from the New World and before the New world was settled tobacco was traded back and forth.  He had access to tobacco as it took some wealth back then to afford the tobacco.  It was used mostly in the upper classes of Europe and it is said that his cousin supplied him the tobacco. As to whether men of great wealth generally used tobacco is a debate that countries today.  Shakespeare is not known to have smoked tobacco, but it seems he used pot and cocaine, which were found in clay pipes excavated from his property.  But many think it would be scandalous to suggest Shakespeare used tobacco.   When we get to the settling of the New World, pipe smoking was common among men.  The odds are great that great historical figures were pipe smokers, but most of this is conjecture but we simply don’t know. ...

Kind Of

-
 I’m kind of anti-social, but in my thinking it’s for good reason.  I’m pretty shy about my Angels.  They define who I am.  I seek to protect them as much as I can.  I’m willing to share my space, but only with a few.  Other than this I’m quiet about my Angels and it’s why I prefer solitude over many.  They say opposites attract and in my case this is very true.   I’m attracted to outgoing people.  In this regard my wife and I are opposites.  I can force myself to be an extrovert, but this is not my nature.  I prefer a quiet life of mostly solitude.  In this day of the Internet people are either outgoing or they will be alone.  I am happiest with a mind that doesn’t think too much.  But stress can give me overload.   I need diversions from life to keep my mind from overthinking.  This has been a problem for me for most of my life—even from a very young age.  Too many people and too much input causes my ...
