The time has come. So may things have distracted me from my beloved tobaccos. Cold weather has forbidden the long self-indulgent hours of pipe puffing. As I continue to age I make stranger and stranger priority choices. It simply isn't worth being physically uncomfortable to enjoy a pipe. However, there are always a few bowls on shoveling days. This, still, holds no candle to the evenings with a cup of tea and a pipe burning quietly away. Our fourth child is finally on his feet, and this means that there are more opportunities for him to be a bit more independent and mommy is less tired so daddy gets increased opportunities to enjoy the blessed tobacco weed.
So much excitement for this smoking season. I have three tins that I have stored up and am waiting to try, two of which are new! I have a tin of Nightcap that is waiting to be opened and I cannot wait to return to that sweet latakian goodness again. Additionally I have some Dunhill Standard Mixture which is a great excitement to me as I have loved 965 and London Mixture. So much joy ahead! Finally, I was given a tin of Rattray's Bagpiper's Dream, which I have decided to love, because I love bagpipes and am an amateur bagpiper. And so it goes. Let the smoking begin, and hopefully, the pipe blogging!
