You probably think I only own 3-4 different tobaccos because I post the same ones over and over here. :pipe:

I tend to get on a certain kick and ride the hell out of it. :)

Most pipe smokers (not us geeks) smoke one brand and one brand only. They'll get a can of Captain Black for example, and smoke that exclusively, and then when that can is empty, they get another can.

Well, the little weed wouldn't stop whining, so I switched to Full Virginia Flake and really started to fog the place up whilst slamming shots of VO.

Like I said, My platform had but one plank: Everyone Gets Bacon, but they sure weren't gonna let me say it. Especially Donny. He interrupted me every time I even thought about opening my mouth.

So I had a few more shots.

Then I went home and had more shots and a bowl of Homborger Veermaster in a MM cob with a forever stem. Then, a few more shots.

I woke up this morning hung over, but a bowl of St James Flake in a Falcon during my morning commute up the mountain to work helped a lot.

I wish I had a nickel for every time that happened to me :)

Ten minutes into what was shaping up to be a wonderful pipeful of Samuel Gawith Navy Flake, the bottom dropped out of the sky and I got rained out. :(

Smoking some homemade flake in a Nordling Rustic. This flake is from last summer, one of my early forays into flake fab. It started out as some topped VA that our friend @Tobias Lutz sent me, plus some additional VA and burley plus some of my own flavoring. It's okay, but like I say, one of my early concoctions.

As an aside... we're in the process of getting the floors redone on the main floor of our house - replacing cheap contractor carpet with some nice hardwood (stranded bamboo - harder than diamond). So we have to move furniture back and forth like a giant thumb puzzle while the flooring guy works in different sections. The other day I had to empty my tobacco cabinet which held about 40 jars of various sizes, each with a different blend, including many I had forgotten about, and most with an inch or less in the bottom. So I'm concentrating on using up the remnants, including the flake I'm smoking right now.

I haven't really thought about that, but I reckon it makes sense.
Most cigarette smokers smoke the same cigs every day.

I like a little variety in life though. :pipe:

Escudo in a cob for me tonight.

Haven't decided yet if it will be my only bowl of the evening or not.

Dunhill My Mixture BB1938 in a 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank. Have enough for about three bowls.
