Re: What are you Drinking while smoking your pipe today?
Reminds me of a fishing song on an album I had.
The song mentioned "Telling Lies and Tying Flies."

Picked up my Silmarillion book for a little reading on the back porch and thought I'd do some Peter Stokkebye 24 Nougat in a homemade church warden...

I am enjoying a “modified” Hot Toddy this evening. It reminded me of hot cider, so I have a Comoy’s Designer 800 #1709 loaded with C&D “Low Country “-“Santee”. I thought the apple topping on the tobacco would be a good pairing, and it is, even though the apple is ever so slight.

Tonight, after a dinner of two grilled egg sandwiches and a cuppa Joe, I have my Baraccini Halloween 2023 “Jack” 320 pipe (gee, I wonder what company makes these stummels/pipes 🤔) loaded with some of the Mac Baren’s “Stockton”. My coffee mug was nearly empty after dinner, and mysteriously some Evan Williams filled the void…dang ghosts. A half mug of warmed Kentucky Bourbon with a slight coffee flavor😉 pairs nicely with the Dark Fired Kentucky in the tobacco👍🏻.

I have never had a bad blend made by Kohlhase & Kopp - or just Kopp, as Kohlhase left the company two years ago. Anyway, all of the Caribbean Blue series that I've smoked have been good. I've smoked the Bellamy, Drake, Graham and Seegar so far.
If you can get it, try their Stormy North and Stormy South. Stormy North is flavored with toffee and Tonka bean. Stormy South is an interesting blend flavored with Mango and Lilac. Don't let the Lilac scare you off. It give the blend a light floral note and doesn't overpower the tobacco.
I've also recently acquired two other Kopp Limited blends: Anchors Ahoy and Flame 1919. The Flame 1919 is a smooth non-aromatic containing cube cut Virginia, cube cut Burley, Cavendish and Perique - I find it very light on the Perique. Anchors Ahoy is flavored with the fruit of the baobab tree. It's has a vanilla, pear and a little citrus. One of the website mention a grape flavor but I don't taste grape when I smoke it.

Re: The World We Live In
Wreaths Across American is a worthwhile event honoring those interred in veteran's cemetery across the U.S.
The Southeast Louisiana Veterans Cemetery currently has 1,432 wreaths sponsored and needs 1,868 to meet it. The only way to guarantee a wreath is placed is to sponsor one for a veteran or spouse.
This isn't just for the SE Louisiana Veterans Cemetery in Slidell, LA. It is a program for all veteran's cemeteries. Please consider sponsoring one or more wreath's. It is only $17.00 per wreath and you can designate which veteran's cemetery receives the wreath you sponsor.
Additionally, you can designate a specific grave if you have a loved one interred in a veteran's cemetery. I have sponsored one for Sharon Mann Gibson and four additional wreaths for the SE Louisiana Veterans Cemetery.
From what I have been told, there is a ceremony that will be held where volunteers will place the wreath and then read off the name of the person in the grave.
Please consider sponsoring a wreath.
