Great stuff, Bradley. I probably don't have to tell you, but you're basically using the pipe like an old cheroot holder. How's it smoke?

It's a nice little cigar for a short smoke, it's the Hemmingway Short Story, good flavor , not too strong. The pipe is a yellow Bole , when I got it I was dissapointed, so Damn Small, now it's found it's use and I am tickled about it.

That's great. Yeah, the Short Story is a fairly small cigar -- is it hard to keep lit or draw like that? I've never smoked a cheroot holder, but I might just have to try that with one of my pipes.

What a great idea! I usually toss the last inch of my cigars; you have given me an idea of how to smoke it all down with no waste. Thanks!

Hahahaha, now that´s a solution to cover both my love for cigars and pipes! My driving instructor used to smoke his stumps in a pipe. That poor old pipe looked like the upper half of Mt. St. Helens (complete with all the ashes and sulphur)! 8O

How a pipe that small ever found Brad is a mystery of the universe. But look how

useful it is!

Your right on Brad! My Dad used to finish his cigars just like that. The Old Mans sayin was "Waste not, Want not"...

That brings back memories of the old Italian guys in the neighborhood who stuck their De Nobili cigars in their pipes. Those stogies were brutal so maybe the pipe helped.
