Hi Steve,

My name is Jude Rennolds.  This e-mail is my girlfriends.  I am blind, 
have a seeing eye dog and love pipes and pipe smoking.  Toni and I and 
recently discovered the Net.  This is facisinating for me.  She has 
been reading the different things that we are coming across.  

I have been a pipe for about 20 years.  I have a few pipes that I love.
My favorits being, Cessini 8-dot (I think that how that is spelled), 
Lovat, I have a Dunhill from the '30's an number 2 i would say, and a 
Savanelli, Punto 'Oro.  I have others, but these I enjoy most of the 
time.  Some of my favorite tobaccos are Dunhill Black Aromatic, 
Straight Virginia, house Blend from Gus's Smoke shop, Sherman Oaks, 
CA., Ancient Mariner, Boswains Mate, also from Gus's, Honey Cavendish, 
from the Tinder Box, Santa Monica and Epicurian also from the Tinder 
Box.  I have smoked for many years and I like variety, but for the 
present the Honey Cavendish is my favorite.  I am really enjoying 
finding these resources.  It has taken many years to find out that it 
takes skill to smoke a pipe.  

I will relate a story that happened a fews years back.  My pipe smoking 
brother and I were at Gus's in the Valley, I bought a Comoy Bulldog, He 
a #2 Dunhill Billiard (both estate pipes).  AT the time my favorite 
tabacco was Punchbowl, from a company in Ireland, and my friend smoked 
Craven mixture, same company.  We bought our treasures, could hardly 
wait to light up, ran to the car, and reclined the seats, and I have a 
little keychain screwdriver for opening tins, with our ears to our tins 
we opened the tins to hear the hissing of the air escaping the tins.  
Loaded our bowls, lit our pipes and smoked ourselves into a coma.  We 
could not wait to drive home.  Coming out of the coma we realized that 
the car was full of smoke, visability zero, opened the windows, smoke 
billowed out, and passerbys were laughing.  What a heavenly memory.

Thanks and looking forward to being a subscriber!
