Sitting out on the front porch, I have nothing to do but smoke my favorite poker pipe and wait for Naomi to get home. I won’t smoke around her, but I know she loves how this blend of tobacco smells. It smells like sweet vanilla. The more I smell like it, the better for her. It’ll also give her a...
