Hello everyone. New to this forum but this thread was the first to catch my eye. I have quite the cellar with lots of aged tobacco. I also have some bought pipes (Savinelli 320) and a few hand made pipes.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Oh my goodness! Was the last post really four years ago?
I guess it was... Quite a lot has changed in all of our lives and Corona hit recently.
wow!
I’m jobless since and claiming “retired Navyman” for now. I’d put retired “NavyChief”, but I’m not feeling all that chiefly these day.
Life moved on though and so do we and our children. My kids are all grown up and on their own. Have been for quite a few years now.
This was suppose to be a pipe smoking reply. It kind of is because I’m smoking a pipe, enjoying some good tobacco and being contemplative
I’m sitting at my daughter’s house smoking a churchwarden style pipe. It’s only about 7 inches long. I have one that is around 10”. I’ll put up a pics
I’ve been visiting my son’s house and youngest daughter’s house the last few months. Kinda alternating between the two. My daughter lives a block from the ocean and son lives in the desert temporarily. (29 Palms MCB) for training.
Long story short. I’d like to put up a aome pics of a few of my new pipes, also of some little pipe stands I made in my sons workshop. Also a pipe rack made of aged ash wood. The wood is beautiful. I’m thinking of leaving it with no stain. I think staining it a fake color would be silly. I might put a coat of Helmsman spar varnish on it though. I love that stuff. It brings out the natural wood color with a little bit enhancement.
that is IF! I remember how to post a pic these days
I started smoking cigarettes and a pipe when I went away to college (it was cool in the 60s) and later in the Navy for about 10 years. Then one day I got admitted to the hospital for something totally unrelated to smoking or tobacco consumption. The charge nurse in Admitting was explaining to me where the smoking area was, when I suddenly interrupted her without really thinking and said, "I won't be smoking." That was it. No withdrawals or cold turkey shakes.Pipe smoking is certainly something I deem to call "One of the finer things in life." Unfortunately, I quit smoking tobacco almost 4 years ago. I was a heavy cigarette smoker and occassionaly lit up a pipe to relax around a campfire while backpacking with friends.
I often still think about smoking a pipe, but I'm a little nervous if I packed one up it wouldn't be the last...
I'm ill at the moment. My son seems to have mostly recovered, and hopefully my wife is through the worst of it.
I hope I got past the worst of it on Tuesday, but I was hoping to be in better shape by now.
But I'm still functioning and I'm not in agony.
How about you, Dan?
Looks great! Warmer weather is on it's way here and it's making me want to fire up my pipe!
