Yes, but they do, and always did, it the proper way. Not the thug way.

The only thing I'd like to go back to is my 20ish self and show him my face and a few other places on my head and body. Being a beach bum who had his shirt off as much as possible in the summer I'd tell him that getting bits cut or frozen off is no cake walk. Use sun block.
That's about it. Everything else is a page of my story. It's not perfect, but it's perfectly me. I have no desire to change it or even relive it. The best moments I can still recall with clarity.

Like many of us, there are a few things I woulda done(or NOT done)a little differently. All in all I can't complain too much.
I think that way, then I think about the notion that maybe the thing I would change was the in road to one of my life changing moments, good ones. I feel like the good outweigh the bad and I've come through it relatively intact and happy. I wouldn't want to chance it

...approaching 80, I've come to same conclusion... anything I regret... I just have to let it go...

I don't even regret the pipe
Sheesh, I can see the whiskey roses too. Good times.

Hey! I'm a pipe smoker as well.
Yeah, that was pretty heavy handed-which is why they pulled it. I've been a Gibson-ite since I started in '67. Stickin' with 'em.Yes, but they do, and always did, it the proper way. Not the thug way.
ETA: I'm not planning on buying anything new from them for 2 reasons: 1- I have my 67 NR TBird* which I use for any type of music I play(If I feel the need for a 5er, I have my LPB25*). 2- Mufunzalo.

Saxophone pipes seem to be the rage these days.
hmmmm, doesn't look like any fine English cut I've ever seen
It kind of looks like oregano.
Dang! can we talk latakia? I haven't even had a wiff of good tobacco in years.
Like good wine, good tobac is aged, blended, imported and expensive.
Used to be you didn't have to, you could get the good stuff here. But every tobacco shop I knew is long gone. I guess you just get your Balkan on line now.Not me...I've never been to Eastern Europe.....
Maybe the smoke shops have been replaced by whiskey clubs. I walked by a whiskey/cigar club last week on the way to a pizza place. Seems that rich people need an outlet where they can throw away they money. Getting a takeout pizza is a big deal to me, more my style.
...yeah, man... Penzance and Arango Balkan Supreme are my go-tos, and I have a big jar of "blending" Latakia as well...
Pipe smokers smell funny....
