Well played! Billy Budd is another favorite. Thick codgerish, cigary goodness and all the vitamin N a growing boy needs. His wife said that lots of his "pipe buddies" had called to inquire about Bob including many of the guys in his local club in Philly. I had no idea he had died and when I asked to speak to Bob, her voice cracked a little when she told me he had passed away. That was kind of awkward and I felt like kind of a tool but as far as I knew he was still living.
