RE: Smoke With Me On Pipe Tobacco Delivery Day
Oh my..such nostalgic memories for me. Three gentlemen come to mind. One dear sweet uncle no longer with us. He was a merchant marine and always sat by the fire in his dark blue fishermen sweater that my aunt knit and he always had a pipe in his mouth. One was a very handsome man I worked with in an Insurance Company who always wore a dark blue pin stripped suit and sat behind his large oak desk with a pipe in his mouth. In those days one could smoke in the office and that wonderful smell would permeate the air. The third was my guy..who no longer smokes anything, but I still see him now sitting on a rock at the lake with a pipe. In those days we had a Brentwood Rocker and a Dalmatian and he would sit with his dog beside him rocking in the chair smoking a pipe. I always thought it was such a classy thing. I did not even think they still sold pipes or tobacco. I can almost smell that tobacco over the screen. mmmmm
I had to look up "Brentwood Rocker." Imagine my surprise when I realized I've got one! It used to belong to my father.
Thanks so much for sharing your pipe stories with me! They're all so vivid and touching. It's amazing how much pipe smoking, and the attendant smells, still mean to people, isn't it? I'm glad you got to spend your life with such a classy guy.
Pipe smoking is still alive, but not necessarily well. The picture at the top of this post shows me with my club. We found a place that still lets us smoke and it's a real joy to get together once a month.
That is so awesome...so refined so Sherlock Holmes style. Do they wear houndstooth too.? Not to mention that lovely aroma.
P.S. he is still a classy guy, just stopped smoking everything a number of years ago, and the Dalmatian is long gone. Enjoy the rocker
