I love the smell of pipe tobacco. Had a grandfather that used to smoke it in an old homemade corncob pipe on rare occasions. When I was little, I would sit next to him as he curled a few wisps of smoke from it and tell me stories of his cowboy days out west during the depression before he met grandma.

I found an old plane Jane antique pipe at a store over in Indy that my wife bought for me a couple of years ago. Bought some cherry nougat blended tobacco from Jon’s pipe shop in Champaign, IL but haven’t tried smoking any of it yet. Every time I open the door to the cabinet, it smells so good. Picturing waiting for the right occasion this winter in front of the fireplace, whiskey in a tumbler, Christmas tree in the corner, and snow coming down outside the window. Just hope I don’t turn green and regret it!
