Just figured I would put a lot of this in one thread and those that are interest or just bored can skim and read. I will feel this post with short blurbs on my road trip to S.C. and some rather cool things that happened.
Skip to the pipes and the bottom to see more about a 1st cigar and beers.
Well Sunday morning the pup (Kombi) and I set off in the rental car to see my folks in S.C. Little did I know that I had to much crap running on my cell phone via blue tooth that I drained my battery fast and had to make a pit stop at Cigar Hustlers place to steal some juice, so I also had a quick smoke.
The Pup.
I even let him drive at times.
Pit Stop cigar.
Many beautiful sun rises and sunsets on my parents front porch. Some involved cigars and coffee.
Or beer
Kombi enjoyed the porch and front yard as well.
Well after talking with my folks at a drug store that was also still a soda shop
They mentioned they still had some of my grandfathers pipes that they would like to give me since I have started into pipes. Here they are, I don't know much about them but I will hold them tight. Also need to learn how to clean them to prep them to be used as well.
I then went to a lot of antique shops and found a sweet pipe & tobacco holder. Also scooped up another Coke bottle opener.
Some other cool Civil War tobacco items I found.
So then we went camping in Charleston - James Island
Found a kick ass BBQ joint called Smokey Oak Taproom
Came back and had an FFP
The next day we walked around downtown Charleston then headed off to Mt. Pleasant to the Westbrook brewery as suggested to me by a few people here. Did some samples and a quick tour.
So after a full day we came back to the site and I lit up an L40.
While talking on here about father having a cigar with the sons for the first time, I wanted to do the opposite and get my father to have his first cigar with me, and he did!
He even kicked my ass with a nice ash.
That was awesome to sit and talk with pops about cigars and watch him have his first. He now wants me to send him some more to try. I collected his first band as well as my L40 and plan to print a photo with the bands and frame it to send to him.
After all that was the drive home where I meet up with Curtis for my first smoke at Coronas. My HE had a really bad wrapper to which I just peeled it all the way off and kept on smoking.
Long post I know but it was a kick ass time!
