So I don't get to smoke a lot. In fact with a one year old, I am lucky if I get in two bowls a week. I have started smoking in the car either to or from work. It has been precarious at times but I have figured it out. This morning something clicked and I feel that I have just has the best smoke I have ever had. Under my avatar it says I joined in Jan 2011. I picked up the pipe about a month before that. So in just over two years I finally got a smoke that I just didn't want to end. Never had to relight it, traffic was slow enough to let me tamp when I needed to. And traffic was just bad enough to make the trip last for the entire bowl. With traffic in Houston (I have a 15 miles drive) my drive can take 15 minutes or an hour and a half. Good Monday so far.
So the details. I chose one of my new Chacom 1/4 Bent Dublins, Still not fully broke in yet. I have a glass dish that I put tobacco in to dry. I had left some of the new Lane Hazelnut from the last smoke I Had about 5 days ago. It still wasn't completely dry but smokeable. I picked Villager 1888 Mid-Day out of my stock and mixed in enough to make a bowl. The first time I tried Mid-Day and my next bowl will be a whole bowl of it. I thought it was very similar to Peterson's Connoisseur's Choice.
