First he invited me over to his house to have a smoke. When I got there he gave me a glass of iced tea.
Then he showed me his AMAZING pipe collection and taught me a few things about some unfamiliar brands.
Then he showed me some different tobaccos, especially some Germain (sp?) and some Esoterica blends. Then he made me take several samples of delicious tobaccos. Forced me into it really.
He also made me smoke some Esoterica Tilbury. It was torture I say!
After that was over, he stole 2 of my pipes...
When he returned them, my cheap basket briar that looked like it belonged in the trash looked brand new! How can I smoke it now since it shines so bright?! AND he fixed a hole in the stem of my unsmoked Ascorti. I mean seriously, it was a collectors piece. How many pipes that are unsmoked do you know that have holes in the stem? Ruined I say!
Seriously though, I had a good afternoon with Ron. He blessed me with some incredible hospitality, gave me some very quality tobacco samples, and used his talent to fix 2 briar pipes I have. Never asked for anything in return. Sorry I don't have any pics of the fixed pipes, my phone is dead.
Thanks Ron, you made my afternoon.
Also, if he tries to tell you I spilled his last bowl of dried Rich Dark Flake..... it might be true
