@RockyMountainBriar; I don't set goals much anymore. I get up each morning and I "Don't let the Old Man in" as the Toby Keith song goes. Aside from that my long term goal is to turn to the next month on my wall calendar, as it comes time.
2022 C&D “Carolina Red Flake” with a pinch of C&D “Long-Cut Perique” added..just for @vtgrad2003😬 Loaded in my first non-basket pipe and my very first new Peterson, a Killarney 80s bulldog.
@KA9FFJ I have fond memories of visiting Old St Charles at Christmastime back when we lived in Lake St Louis. They always did such a great job decorating and getting one in the Christmas spirit. My daughter was five and my son 8 months old when we moved there. Tempus fugit.
@KA9FFJ What a nice gesture making the gingerbread cookies for the kids. My wife puts out snacks and water bottles for the mail carriers and UPS, FedEx, Amazon delivery folks every year.
With just 12 days before Christmas Day, I decided to start the week off with some Cornell and Diehl We Three Kings in my recently updated "Christmas pipe", a Paronelli...
@Michael308; Copenhagen is the most additive tobacco product out there. That nicotine hit is immediate. I dipped off/on for several years. The longer I dipped the more I had to put between cheek and gum. I think it would have been difficult for a lesser man to quit. For me, it was no big deal, I must have quit a dozen times or more.
Smoking some C&D “Ghosts of Christmas Future in my Pete “Dublin” Silver Lid 03. Drinking some light roast Ethiopian French Press coffee with heated and frothed milk.
@Londy3; At that period in my life, I didn't smoke me pipe everyday. Cope gave me the boost I needed to work 60 hours a week or more. It is a nasty habit. I remember responding to fires with a chew and having to spit inside my mask. I can't believe some of the guys that I worked with that just swallowed the shit. That always made me dizzy, if I did that.
@opipeman I chewed (swallowed mostly) Copenhagen once when I was 12….just a pinch between lip and gums🤢…..🤢……🤮. I have never tried it again, although I do love the smell of some of my SG and SH&Co. ropes and have been tempted to try a pinch. As far as the nicotine goes, I would probably be ok, but I’m not sure it is actually safe to use that way? I’m not sure if bacteria and such can be a problem? I’d hate to actually get sick from it.
@opipeman I do it to help with stress and anxiety. It's gotten to the point at work I literally have one in all day unless I'm eating. Now on my days off I'll only dip 3 to 4 times.

Agreed. Remember:
We don't quit playing because we get old; rather we get old because we quit playing...
You're probably correct, but I hope not...
Wow, great job on those gingerbread men! They look great
