Maybe

-

 I might review Cornell and Diehl’s Cordial pipe tobacco for Smoking Pipes, but I have to live with it for a while.  Maybe buying a pound of it for the first time is a little much, but from the description, I knew I would enjoy it.  People can be like this too.  Sometimes we just know about a person without knowing too much about them.  I have a sense about people, but these days I keep a distance from most.

My experience with my Angels changed me in many ways.  And after 32 years my wife still has a difficult time understanding about them.  But a tobacco for me can be compared a lot to people.  Sometimes we just know.  I don’t regret buying a pound of Cordial.  All the ingredients were there.  It is closer to Old Professor than even Bayou Night.  

I just knew.  But I had to smoke it in a number of pipes to make sure.  I received it last Saturday afternoon and I it is now Wednesday and I’ve had some time to live with it.  Cordial is what I expected it to be.  It is light on the nicotine, which I like.  There is no tongue bite and the flavor is just about perfect for a good English tobacco.  There are no surprises with Cordial.  

I also bought a small quantity of Luxury Navy Flake by Peter Stokkebye so I could make a comparison.  Besides which the Navy Flake was on sale.  Luxury Navy Flake is a very high rated tobacco on Smoking Pipes.  Which do I like better?  It’s always about the money in my opinion.  For the money Cordial is a better choice.  I’ve lived with it enough to know.  If I have any complaints about Cordial it is that it has too many loose stems in it.  

I’m still not sure I’ll review it for Smoking Pipes, but I’ll let you know if I do.  I have to give it either a 4.5 out of five or a solid five.  I rarely give a tobacco a five, but this might be worthy of a five, but I have not yet decided.  But it is THAT good.  I am smoking my Savinelli Arcobaleno Blue pipe this morning with Cordial pipe tobacco.  My coffee is from Trader Joe’s which is Samtran coffee.  Thank you for your time and Peace and love 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 ...
