What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[droy1958]

I love the off-the-wall stuff kids say

No kidding. My good friends 10 year old niece was crappie fishing with us a few weeks ago. She came over and sat next to me and we fished while trying to solve several of the world's problems. She kept looking up at my beak and blurted out that I sure had a hairy nose and that I should consider doing a bit of cultivation. I went home that evening, and went to survey the issue and it wasn't that bad. I guess if you're looking up, it may be worse......

Where the hell has @JimInks been on this thread? We miss you amigo.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I hadn't posted in a long time because I just got very self conscious of hogging this thread so much, and wasn't seeing a lot of other smokers. I hate seeing so much of me and so little of others. I need to see what others are smoking a lot more than I need to post my smokes. I'm glad you need to see me, but I need to see you guys just as much. Also, I've been very busy with a lot of things, and cut down on the number of forums I have been on, and cut down on my posts on the ones I have stayed on, even PSF. I admit it is heart warming to be missed.

Smoking C&D Crooner in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.49) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega with a black vulcanite stem. Wouldn't take 10k for this pipe.

Welcome back Jim! It is great to see you come back. What do you think about blends with deer tongue in general?

Thank you, Haebar.

I've only tried a couple, so I don't have enough frame of reference to adequately answer your question. I like Crooner, more so than I did when I had tried it in the past. Then again, the formula has been changed since then, and a little less deer tongue is in this mix now. I wish I had tried Henie's Blend when it had deer tongue, but I never even saw that blend until recent years.
