Some smoking related bits from my Grandfathet

[Paulie2876]

He did offer to teach me how to smoke a pipe at one point. Being that he was born in the late 1800's he didn't see any problem offering this to a nine year old. Obviously nowadays it would be a major crime against humanity, but after reminding him of my age he just shrugged and said well I can take that as a no then. But it did smell great when I walked into the house and he was smoking this stuff. Thanks for posting.

You are most welcome, I've enjoyed the chance to chat and reminisce, I hope you enjoyed thinking back [emoji106]

What a lovely thing. My Dad has one of Granda's pipes, unsmoked, packed safely away in the loft. Same loft has a brand new set of Grandad's cut throat razor's Mum's kept pristine and packaged. One day they're going to be family heirlooms at this rate.

Nice one, great to hear of something like this.
