For My Furry Faced Professor and Very Good Friend Who Indulges in the Hobby…

Pipe, I still do indulge in the hobby at times. Actually, quite often these days. Cigarettes can seem so barbaric, uncivilized, and harsh compared to imbibing in the burley leaf tinctured by some unique taste or smell. A favorite time for me to smoke my pipe is after a good and nourishing meal.  I will recline back in my Lazy-E-Boy recliner, turn on the television, and relax as I draw on my pipe.   Is there any other smell so heavenly other than the smell of burning pipe tobacco? Cigarettes can certainly make you smell like an ashtray.  We no longer have an avenue to buy pipe tobacco in this little town.  The discount tobacco store down in Opelika, Alabama has a full assortment of pipe tobacco and I stock up when I am down that way. It is always fun to try different varieties of the burley leaf. When I was a child, my father carried a full assortment of pipes and pipe tobacco in his pharmacy.  I was always mesmerized by the pipe display and the myriad of shapes, curves, and bowls.
