This is my local B&M pipe and tobacco shop. I will be going there tomorrow to drop off a card for him. I have been going to that shop since 1970.

What a great story. And he's smoked for 81 years???

I was able to spend the afternoon at Paul's today. I first met Paul twenty years ago and the pipe he sold me then is still in heavy rotation. It is a world class place to go and I am lucky enough to only live twenty minutes away. I also took advantage of the birthday sale. Bought a new old stock Jobey Shellmore straight dublin and a bent Cayuga egg, which was only a buck. Plus I had a pipe repaired. It's one stop shopping for pipe smokers there.

You East-Siders are damn lucky to have a shop like that.
A big happy birthday to the man who's been smoking twice as long as Monbla!

You know, the Corona smoke shop in Jackson aint half bad. Typically mostly cigars, but they carry more than a little pipe tobacco.
