I hear it's best to hire a cheap man--a man who doesn't amount to much, anyhow--who would be as well--or better--dead, and let him break in the pipe for you.

The leavings mixture is good. Starting from the bottom, I layered; LNF, SRT, Gaslight, then topped off with more LNF. The tobaccos are different enough that I could easily pick up the transitions. I'm burning thru the SRT layer now, wondering if I'll get to the bottom layer of LNF or if it will be too wet toward the bottom to burn.

-edit-
It got too wet. Just started picking up hints of the soft Va flavor of LNF and it got too wet and refused to burn.

Just finished smoking Peter Heinrichs Curly Block in a brown rusticated slight bend 1982 Savinelli Non Pareil 99 Acorn with a lucite ferrule and stem. Ice tea and bergs is my drink.

G&H Brown Flake Scented in a 2013 bent MM Missouri Pride Legend with a yellow stem.

Some local tobacco from Ted's Pipe Shoppe called Dubliner in a German made Howal pipe.....

2005 GLP Abington in a 1990 Peterson Irish Second Oom Paul natural with a black vulcanite fish tail stem.

Now smoking C&D Corn Cob Christmas Blend 2016 in a 2013 MM straight Legend with a yellow stem. This will get me to dinner time.

McClelland's P.M. Pipe in this Sunrise pipe:

St. James Flake in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and military bit. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink. Watching the Cubs-Indians game.

John Barrett Salad Bowl Mixture in a 2015 John Barrett slight bend smooth rock maple poker with a walnut shank and a black vulcanite stem.

ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH ! I finally sit down and load a bowl for the night, Thought Nightcap in a Meerchaum would nit
the spot. I could tell from the dry draw that I packed it too tight. I'm too tired for this, I need a pick-me-up !
So since it's so late here, I'm loading the DG Duke with some Dunhill Flake and a shot of scotch and I'm
off to chase the "Pipe Fairies".
