Ok, maybe this is overblown, but I think the man deserves his own thread.

I think it would also give him a chance to tell the world what exactly he does for a living that he can smoke & post all the time. :shock:8)

Heh. Sometimes I read when I can't smoke to live vicariously through him and PeterD. That guy also smokes a fair bit. :)

Thank you. They are very cherished by me. Most of the Ardors and Rinaldos were inherited when my friend, who was like a brother to me, died. I smoke them in his memory.

I'm sure he'd be happy you cherish them and use them in his honor. He certainly had an awesome taste in pipes.

They're even cooler to me now that I know the sentimental value of them.

I hope they bring you many more hours of relaxation and joy, brother.
