I guess that depends on what's in the pipe.
LOL
Very true. That one is my Meerschaum pipe from the 1960s. Then I have 7 more different pipes, all vintage except 2.
My dad smokes pipes for years.He got rid of the all when he quit.
Dad died 10 years ago, and I still miss him everyday.
His funeral was filled with so many police officers from a few different agencies. What really got me was the 21 gun salute... I lost it then, and just broke down.
Dad joined the Houston PD in 1964, the same year I was born. He was there for 20 years. He started out in the K-9 division, I was about 2 years old at that time. Blitz was a great dog.
Then dad had a partner, David Nole, for many years. Unfortunately David was killed trying to break up a bar fight.
I heard he was stabbed in that fight.
I really had a great childhood growing up under the Thin Blue Line, so much I joined with Harris County.
Dad was my hero...
