Pipe Smokers Forums

I walked into a little smoke shop there and ended up picking up a beautiful Peterson, don't ask me the model number, I do not have all the Pete's memorized. I smoked it a couple of times walking through the streets of Hudson, Wi.
When I got home, somehow, it was placed in it's sock and put on the shelf in my tobacco closet. This is strange because I do not keep pipes in there, tobacco on one side, booze (mainly good scotch or cognac) on the other.
Anywho, I recently moved my ham radio shack to the study and it has been a bit of a mess in there ever since. This weekend I was trying to cleanup the room. I say "trying" because I did not finish. I did, however, put some tins of tobacco away and, in doing so, I found a pipe sock which I totally did not remember. I picked up and walked out with it, amazed to see the Peterson logo on what looked like a new sock! As I started to pull the pipe out the memory of it came flooding back and stood there wondering, "how did I ever forget about this???"
None the less, it's like I got my own father's day present. LOL

Awesome!!! The only thing that I usually get surprised by is a bill I forgot to pay or something!

I'm hoping to find a few pounds of McClelland blends that I forgot I bought myself!
