Thinking this could be an on-going thread, but who knows. Thinking we could share those special smoking moments when everything aligns perfectly. Talk about the tobacco you chose, the pipe, where you are, what you're doing, how this fantastic bowl was prepared, etc. I'll start.
I broke up a little more than a bowls worth of McClelland's Tudor Castle- a red VaPer with some Yenidje orientals, and allowed it to dry for about twenty minutes under a desk lamp. Loaded it into a Dr. Grabow Grand duke, and fired her up. Didn't need an immediate tamp, but after another twenty it puttered out. Tamped, relit, an it's been going strong for another good twenty. Perfect flavor, smooth as silk, and my bowl is pleasingly warm.
It's a partly cloudy day here in Iowa, at a quarter past noon, and I be watching my girlfriend vacuum our apartment. Also, I'm on my third cup of coffee. Just tamped for the second time, and expect to finish this bowl with minimal relights.
Cheers to a perfect smoking moment.
