Morley's PC Tuesday May 21, 7:00pm at Pen & Pencil Club
This was so much fun and well worth the detour on my way home to Virginia. I met some luminaries of the pipe world, including Rabbi Ira Stone (one of the creators of Cornell & Diehl’s “Hebraica” blends) and one of the creators of the “War Horse” blends. I may not be able to drive up to Philly...- Friendly Piper

Dr. Alan Harrelson Visits Chesterton’s in Steubenville, Ohio
This is pretty much my view, having known exceptionally bright people with similar accents. Now that you mention it, I suspect you’re right that he purposefully “leans in” to the accent for effect.

That’s such a great idea! We’re getting a little pipe club together here in Northern Virginia and I’d bet the Sutliff folks would be willing to come up from Richmond if we get critical mass. Thanks for mentioning this.- Friendly Piper

Dr. Alan Harrelson Visits Chesterton’s in Steubenville, Ohio
Mike, thanks for sharing. That’s an interesting event and I’d have wanted to attend if I were in the area. I remember that Dr. Harrelson had a very public blow-up on YouTube and have seen him be fairly judgmental of others (both in prescribing how pipe smokers should behave and in ridiculing...- Friendly Piper

Looking forward to seeing you again, @ssjones! I plan to arrive before noon this time (aiming to be there for breakfast). For those of you in the area (or a couple of states away, like me) this is absolutely worth the trip. As a first-timer in November, I felt welcome and met some terrific...- Friendly Piper
