@motie2 I know I've stated this before, but I'm always encouraged concerning the pipe smoking populous every year during the STL and Las Vegas pipe show. The large crowds and seemingly increasing number of "young" people gives me a confidence that pipe smoking is far from becoming a lost art...
I was very excited to get one of my buddies into pipe smoking. Any time I had new tobacco or less expensive pipes i would drop them off for him. The other day I stopped by his place and he told me that the clay tavern pipe i gave him was "perfect for his pot" oh well at least I tried.

I also love French's Classic Yellow Mustard, but I also love taking a shit...not sure I'd put the two together though.
