That's why I'd never go on a cruise ship. I'm on 100 wooded acres and I do what I want 24/7. BTW, I smoke all day long in my wood canvas canoe.

The ''Hygienists'' in Winter - Part 1
Dear friends, as i have told you before, in Greece the Café have an outdoor area (for smokers) and an indoor area (for non-smokers and children) that are separated by a glass door. When a ''hygienist'' enters, he passes from the outdoor area to the indoor area without daring to speak to those sitting outside, but when there are 2-3 of them, then those smart@sses they get bold and start loudly saying smart things to provoke those of us who are outside and smoking.
"Do you want to sit outside? Haha, are you nuts? Are you crazy? It's cold, yes but as you see others are sitting there, haha, and why do you want us to get wet too? Haha, let's go inside where it's nice and warm, for sure inside, haha"
Yes, you m*f*s, it's colder outside but the owner has installed gas stoves and we don't get wet because there is an awning or roof over us, not a single drop gets inside, we are always dry. Inside, it's darker and the owner turns on small halogen spotlights that emit a yellowish light and blinds you, there is music but because the place is closed it's loud and bothers you, there are 2 TVs but without sound and so you watch football or basketball but you don't hear anything, when someone beside you speaks to his cellphone it bothers you a lot because the place is enclosed. You have no view outside, you stupids sit like miserables watching us smoking freely ''in peace".
After a while, the "hygienists" feel uncomfortable and leave (while we are happily outside and sitting far above) with sour faces and a bad mood, no laughter or irony comments just silence, their heads are down and they look around with evil and jealous eyes to us which are happy while having fun with friends.
We won and you scumbags lost, AGAIN.
Here is a snapshot from previous pipe smoking day, it's when i am ready to leave the Café.
Now i am smoking Gawith Hoggarth Black Cavendish.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Here’s to a new year of happy smokes!
A few weeks ago I decided to refocus on my plan to develop a Virginia blend from the ground up for myself. Over the past year I’ve tried multiple experiments and I did end up creating a VaPer blend that has become a regular smoke for me, but it’s based on a commercially produced tobacco with the addition of leaf and I really want to develop something from all whole leaf. So that’s one of my goals for the new year. Right now I’m smoking my second experimental batch that will hopefully lead to my new blend. I’m smoking it in a custom Jyeshta meerschaum billiard.

Tonight I decided to try some of the Cavendish I’d made last fall or winter. I’d tried some before and didn’t like it all - it was quite unpleasant and I’d come close to tossing it, but decided not to. It’s been sitting in a glass jar since at least last December. So I loaded up a bit in a corncob and tried it again. After a year of time to reflect on its prior bad behavior, it seems to have repented and is now at least very smokable. I’m thinking that some of this, blended with some of the straight VA from the same crop, and maybe even a pinch of perique might be pretty good some day.

Well, that’s an embarrassing typo. I loaded up a bit in the cob. A bit. Wish I could edit that…
[Done! Bob]
I’m continuing to smoke my most recent experimental Virginia blend from whole leaf.
I’ve realized that the biggest difficulties I’ve been having in developing a blend is that I love Virginias, so I end up liking everything I make. It’s become clear to me that I need to focus on specific blend styles of Virginias rather than “a” Virginia blend. In that spirit, the one I’m working on now will be a bright based one, and will be a plug/flake when I’ve finished working out the casings.

The ''Hygienists'' in Winter - Part 2
Greece is not like Scotland, the rains stops very quickly and the ''master" sun shows up, we have view from the square, we see people passing, we admire girls and women, we see friends and salute them or invite them to join us, we have happy moments and enjoy our pipe or cigar smoking.
Let's remember what happens to those scoundrels when they are staying in the internal area:
So often next time those morons come to the Café they choose to sit in the external area although they know it's for smokers because they want to have all the benefit that i mention. First they start to squint at the smoker next to them, they do it on purpose to make him feel uncomfortable and say to them, "Oh, sorry, does the smoke bother you?" "Should ι put it out?" but of course this trick doesn't work. Then they start making comments about how harmful smoking is to health, smokers die earlier (while these idiots have 6 vaccines in their blood), smoking should be banned everywhere etc.
Of course we don't pay any attention to them and this irritates them even more. Then they start making hand gestures like they push away the smoke (hypothetically) that bothers them and call the waitress to tell us to change position. Of course the answer from us is a resounding "NO WAY" and makes them angry, the waitress remind them that they choose to sit in a smokers area so humiliated with their faces down, they are forced to either go inside or leave. Then these cowards, these rats, leave a negative Google review of the Café or as soon as they leave and turn the corner, they call the police for an "anonymous complaint about a Café that allows smoking".
You see idiots your tricks won't beat us, we won and you lost, AGAIN.
