Never been in Cyprus but i would highly recommend Greece or even more: Crete.

OOOOooooooo. I washed my car the other day. And I vac'ed it out for the first time in at least two years. Cleaned the seats, treated the dashbaord, Q-tipped the gauge bezels - all that jazz. Then I went to a local sports car event and, like a moron, failed to win the prize for dirtiest car. All my "friends" were waiting for me to arrive with the nastiest 911 this side of Paris-to-Dakar so I would be publicly humiliated (and get a prize, the bastages - probably a carvac, some carpet shampoo and a bottle of Windex).

Jokes on them. I still won. Found an old, full can of Formers Flake under the seat. Wonderful stuff.

I've often looked at the Ratrayss in my online shopping. down here dont have a b&m apart from erinmore and maybe borkum if im lucky..
Might put a tin in my next order.

I keep wishing I could find me a local ....I dunno... pipe and tobacco convention? Or something like that where I could go and sample all the tobaccos I am curious about. My local carries that Ratrays AM and the Dunny 965. Gosh...I wish I had both Pipes and Cigars and Walker Briar Works right around the corner from me......I'de never move.

Crete would work too. A little port( not big on Ouzo), a little fried cheese and spanakopita, a little latakia. A nice Greek girl and some conversation. she might not appreciate the lat bomb though.....

Amen to that

Frog Morton has put me into an English jag....so ...First Cabinet, English house blend from my local. Like the frog but a little spicier,a dram of Grande Marnier Cherry, Viking rustic Bent (my go to lat pipe) and a fascinating documentary on World War I trench warfare. Those soldiers don't get enough recognition and they were tough (all of'em) .

The match holder is actually a toothpick holder I bought some years back at a local Japanese grocery and mercantile store. The pipe I've had for about a year I think now. As for World War I ,I've been checking out all sorts of stuff on that tonight on You Tube. No war is good, but geeze, I am blown away at what these guys went through. Every vet should be thanked for their sacrifices.
