My Best Weekend With A Pipe!

This was the best weekend I've had with my pipes since taking up the pipe in December of last year. It started off with Smokestacks meeting on Friday, we had a good turnout and 7 participants in our inaugural blending competition. Had many meaningful conversations and shared many a laugh. Saturday night was the first clear night we've had in almost 2 weeks around here so I went for a lunt with a bowl of PA. I walked for the entire hour it took to burn the bowl and only relit twice the whole time (a major accomplishment for me) and the smoke was cool dry and flavourful. Today I savoured a bowl of Best Brown Flake in my Rattray panel billiard. I've never smoked a flake in this pipe and it was amazing! The pipe stayed cool, the flavours were intense and the relights were minimal.
Could it be that I'm starting to figure this pipe thing out? Regardless, it was an amazing weekend with my pipes and I look forward to many more! Hope you all had as good a weekend. Cheers!

Kashmir, a special thanks to you and your earlier tips on clenching and smoking as you breath. (I forget what you called it) I just kept the pipe in my mouth while strolling the neighbourhood and the smoke was perfect, the bowl never got close to hot. Thanks guys for all the encouragement and help along the way.
