Come to think of it, his stomach flesh also had holes in it. And lots of splinters. Thank goodness for the heavy denim of Levi red-tab jeans.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-73311912722611145732015-06-14T20:33:55.756-05:002015-06-14T20:33:55.756-05:00My dad also smoked Captain Black, and all his shir...My dad also smoked Captain Black, and all his shirts had holes in them from the embers.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-47987072939303545822015-06-14T19:03:44.042-05:002015-06-14T19:03:44.042-05:00joeh,

But...one day on the way to school a year or so later, we smelled my dad's pipe tobacco in the car as we passed that area going southbound. He always mixed his own, Kentucky Club and some kind of cherry, maybe Captain Black, and kept it in a tin like this:<br /><br />http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mXW_s0HR2ubnK9xkC_-itdw.jpg<br /><br />I used to pop the lid off that can and breathe it in.
