Contest

We are moving on to our second PSI contest.

This time, I am changing things up just a bit.

The rules remain the same however: No more than 25 words. Deadline is Sept. 25, just to remind you that you must keep your tome within 25 words or face the editor’s guillotine.

In no more than 25 words, finish the Kipling line: “And a woman is only a woman, but a good pipe is a. . . . ”

Before I get a lot of messages, let me just say that I know how the line goes: “And a woman is only a woman, but a good Cigar is a Smoke.” We are substituting “pipe” for “cigar” and then you must finish the sentence in 25 words or less.

Put your thinking caps on, grab a bowl fill it full and write away.

The top five (picked by an impartial judge, of course) will receive an 8 0z. tin of your favorite tobacco from Cornell & Diehl.

Deadline is Sept. 25, which should be a reminder to keep your words to 25. And this gives you a little over one month to write your finest.

Winners will be named in a followup post. I will then need the winners to email me the name of their favorite C&D tin, which I will forward to C&D. I will need a snail mail address for winners.

Only one entry per person. Sorry. That’s the golden rule. And remember, he who has the gold, makes the rule.

Send entries to editor@pipesmokersintelligencer.org

So, sharpen those pencils. Or crank up the old word processor. Write your best, and then  submit your entry below.

Good luck to all!
