Following an enjoyable French wine tasting evening with Louise; Benjamin decides to enjoy smoking his pipe with the remainder of the Bordeaux red.
It takes Benjamin a while to work out which tobacco he’s placed in his Peterson straight pipe as he puffs away and Louise chats to him and viewers, whilst commenting on the aromatic notes plus how she used to be a complete anti-smoker but now appreciates fine tobacco.
The German Shepherd also tries to join in with the conversation; as she’s so used to accompanying Benjamin on country walks with his pipe!
Louise comments that pipe smoking appears very gentlemanly and Benjamin also talks about old times and being able to watch musical theatre performances whilst enjoying a relaxing smoke.
This one is really for those that appreciate the old-fashioned gentleman ways of pipe smoking!
