Bought a pouch. Very nice :D
here's another idea ??
I have a pocket on my mobile bag. I always carry a pencil & paper to jot a note down, or alter a shopping list.
I found the point on my pencil dug into my pocket, or snagged the case.
I got an ear defender, puched a hole in it, and slipped it over the point.
@nuff said. :clap:

It's the opposite of my fountain pen.

I really need to clean my computer screen.

I've never smoked Condor but when I visit my sister-in-law in the UK, I'm always impressed that the shops carry pipe tobacco, Condor, especially, right with the cigarettes. I don't see that often (almost never) where I live.

That's a neat thing. Is it store bought, or your own ?

I have a red one and a yellow one. I swapped out the top and the bottom of them both. They're more colorful that way.

From their website, you'd think it's the greatest invention since sliced bread:

https://www.lamy.com/en/lamy-safari/

The Lamy Safari is a good fountain pen. The main drawback is that when someone asks to borrow your pen, you have to ask them if they know how to write with a fountain pen. If they don't, they press too hard, tear the paper, bung up the nib, and they get embarrassed because they can't write with a fountain pen----which was pretty much the only pen there was before ball points.

My favorite blog has an article about fountain pens today, if you are interested. I didn't know that until I started reading. Great minds think alike.

I haven't read anything about Condor today. I haven't read about Condor all this year except on this thread, now that I think of it.

AHHH Condor ....
It , with Erinmore Flake, was about THE tobacco's to buy. My Dad smoked Erinmore, and turned NASTY when he couldn't get / afford a tin.
I've seen him smoke dry tea leaves !
I stick away from Erinmore for that reason ! (will try it sometime, though !)
The Condor is a rough shred of baccy. Toasted a darkish brown. Lights well, and long lasting. It appears dryish, and i thimk it's a stronger
bowl than Gold Block, that I smoke.

Quick question ... ? Do you have Mince Pies at Christmas ??? Or is it a Brit thing?
In our house we have a big breakfast, to start off Christmas day, ..... Eggs, Bacon, Fried bread, Sausage, Black pudding, Halloumi fried cheese, Bread & butter, and of course, Tea & Coffee & Orange juice.
Then it's a good walk !

We have mince pies...but our family is Canadian by heritage, and the Brit-force is strong with them. :D
