What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Pugsley]

SPC Mississippi River in a straight John Bessai bulldog. Comes out of the tin quite wet and after an hour of drying it still felt damp to the touch, so I expected some gurgle and bite, but experienced neither. Mild, flavorful, clean burning, just an all around enjoyable smoke.

Totally screwed the pooch today.Took my Rolo Pocket Pipe and a pouch of PS LNF with me to
the final day of the sale.Everything was going smooth.Steady stream of customers,nice cool
temperature,and plenty of chances to fill a bowl.On my third bowl I packed it wrong and when
I went to clean out the dottle I managed to push some back into the draft opening.Pluged it
up right tight,and like a loser I forgot to grab any pipe cleaners.No back up pipe.So had to
sit and stew about it until I got home.It's all good now,I grabbed a cob and packed it full
of Captain Black Royal and I'm on top of it now.

Hey, fellas. 24 out of the last 29 posts have been mine. I think that is way too many. I have seen some guys "liking" my posts, and they are not posting themselves. This is extremely discouraging to me. I know I have played this tune before, but I need the fun of seeing your posts much more than seeing too durn many of mine, which is not fun for me. So, I'll take a break from this. See you later.

Jim, I have been on a cigar smoking jag the last few weeks so I haven't posted anything in this thread in a long time. Even when I am smoking the pipe on a regular basis, I only smoke three bowls a day at the most. Just this morning I read an article about you in Pipe Collector Magazine, an issue from earlier this year. You are a credit to your hobby, having reviewed 1561 tobaccos to date. Whenever I am considering a purchasing a new tobacco purchase, I seek out your review on it because I know that it will be an accurate one.

Us firearms guys use the phrase "back up gun" so frequently that we have an acronym for it -- BUG. So yeah, you should've had a BUP!

I have a Mac Baren 7 pipe case that I keep stocked with a couple fresh cobs, a pack of Dill's pipe cleaners, a Zippo pipe lighter with some wood matches for back up, and a few pipe nails. If I'm going where I expect to be able to smoke I just toss a couple briars and a couple opened tins of tobacco in and I'm ready for anything. Sort of a piper's bug out bag.

Royal Yacht in a handcrafted Nording Scandinavian Original tall brandy with a short broad stem and a wide open, easy draw that I really like.

Started earlier with another round of CB Royal and for a follow up I've LL 125 Anniversary loaded
and ready to burn.Perfect day,temps in the 80's little wind and no chores banging on my head.
I can light up and enjoy a couple games of chess on the computer.

On my balcony smoking some Hal o the Wynd in my bent Savienelli Series III.

It is a pleasant change from the last two days. Went to deer camp to work on the bunkhouse we're trying to get ready before season starts. I took along a couple of cobs and only took one jar of tobacco with me. I bet I smoked 15 bowls of Prince Albert in the last two days. lol
I like it, but I'm ready for something else.

Rattray's Hal o the Wind at a microbrewery in Sperryville, VA, an adorable little town that I bet very few of you have ever heard of
