Trying to catch up on the shows. I left South Bend IN yesterday with three packed pipes. One was the first post $50 pipe I ever bought. A Pete Irish Army #6 with some vintage 2006 Wessex Brown VA Flake, Second my 1970 birth year Dunhill with C&D After Hours Flake. Third was another Irish Army 120 with H&H Old Dark Fired. I smoked them in that in that order. Not my favorite pipes but I saw the forecast and knew it was going to be a rough drive and I would need some rugged old companions on this journey. It was a 300 mile drive to the Dayton/Cincy area but it seemed like a lifetime with all the snow squalls. I didn't break any speed records but I certainly enjoyed your company during the stressful trip. Thanks for helping me stay focused, and clear headed during my drive. Much appreciated!
