Good to see you.... The tobacco from Glynn sounds interesting. Couldn't agree more with you about how relaxing pipe smoking is and how it connects us with the past. It is a great thing to be a pipe smoker!
Nice to see you again. Seems like the Spiced Turk is a winner. I wish it was easier to get. Gauntley's is lucky to have Glynn running it. thanks Gregg
Good to hear you came out of the surgery fine and all is well. That's one of my nagging fears...when appendicitice comes to visit me. My wife's burst and it was aweful...
@NWPipeSmoker Oh, she's ok now...this happened years ago but it required a surgical incision about 6 inches long and she took awhile to heal...got an infection...they had to go in again...it was bad. She's all good now, though. You don't have a "significant other" in your life yet to worry about? Suprising....as great a person as you are...
Sorry to hear that you had the appendicitis, but good to hear that things went so smoothly and you are recovering. When I hadn't seen you for a while I was worried that giant banana slug had maybe got ya..lol. Anyway, nice to see you and always good to sit here and sort of share a smoke with you. Take care chopping wood and such until the wound is fully healed ;-)
Hi nice to see you back and I'm glad your better, the spiced Turk it will be finishing in November at Gauntleys witch is a shame I think I will have to order some more before it goes I do hope they keep it going take care.
Nice to see you, Tom, glad you are well on the mend. I haven't had a pipe in a while so you inspired me to break out the 1945 Marxman Benchmade. I enjoyed it with some Middleton's Walnut and had a fine smoke along with you.
Great to see a new video. Hope you are feeling better. Nice setting for a video, very relaxing setting. Speaking of relaxing, pipe smoking is a somewhat un-describable in thoughts and the moment. (relaxation) Perhaps it is that vintage feel you get. It is like a place in time that has not changed. I agree we are a little different, and seem to share a common interest.
I am glad you found the smoke pleasant. The flavourings are light, i dont care much for goopy, over flavoured aromatics. I dont see the point in adding flavours that over power the tobacco.
Hope you enjoy the Yataghan, no flavourings on those. Just sun, flue & fire cured tobaccos. Virginias, Turkish & Kentucky.
@NWPipeSmoker I could only watch thte first lighting of the Marxman. Wife wants to go antiquing. Hate that you were down and out. Hope you get better. Great to see ya as usual. May be headin back up that way on a solo mission...may be another job chance. But either way, we're moving up late Spring/early summer. I'll be back in a bit to finish your vid! I was wondering about wood and the recent surgery. Be careful man. Take care Tom!
i have to find gauntley's all the blends seem so right when you smoke 'em. all the best on your recovery.

@hampshirepipe - I'm back to 100%, though the shaved belly hair is itchy. I'm blessed that's the worst of it (other than the insurance co-pay!).

Hello Tom
Great to see a new video. Hope you are feeling better. Nice setting for a video, very relaxing setting. Speaking of relaxing, pipe smoking is a somewhat un-describable in thoughts and the moment. (relaxation) Perhaps it is that vintage feel you get. It is like a place in time that has not changed. I agree we are a little different, and seem to share a common interest.
Hope this finds you well.

@glo0115 - Yataghan in the next vid, Glynn. Well done - it's very good! I really appreciate your creativity in blending, and the dry aromatic style.
