What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Lostmason]

He did two blends for me and one of four for the group that I wanted a pound each of. (I think it was C blend.) We were going to perfect the customs and roll them out when tragedy struck. I think he was going to have a tasting in the group and the winner would receive a Barling from his collection. I recall being worried Chico's blend was a shade more approachable than mine. He called me and I convinced him he didn't owe us anything and he should take time to celebrate his wife's recovery and to take care of his granddaughter. And mourn his son. He said he would be back and that's good enough for me, I loved that guy...

@NeverBend , wherever you are...

I also tried emailing Pete,if you hear from him let him know our thoughts and prayers are with him and his.

Bout time you checked in, how are things?

Planning on trying a bowl of D&R Picayune this afternoon. Setting a bowl's worth out to dry. This stuff was dry as tinder but I moistened it up a bit for storage.

Things have been awful, to be honest lol. I haven't had time for a damn thing, work is absolutely nuts-o. I don't even have the time to smoke!

Pretty soon things will die down (hopefully) and then I will be able to light up and be more reg around here.

How are things with you?
