West Louisiana
I was at Fort Benning for about 8 months, and now I'm over at Fort Polk. Luckily my long term girlfriend loves New Orleans and has vacationed there several times so I'll have an excuse as to why we should go visit so often.- tg51

I suppose you're right. I just enjoy the feel of an old B&M and getting to know the staff and the regulars.- tg51

I am yeah, not a bad place to be a junior officer so far. I'm an outdoorsman so I've been enjoying it more than I was led to believe I would. Is New Orleans a good place for pipe tobacco?- tg51

Do You Do the Dottle?
I use the dottle to experiment. I have a jar that I dump the dottle into, usually around three bowls worth and then use that to make a half(ish) bowl of mystery blend. Sometimes its an intriguing and tasty combo, sometimes its a rancid combination that I dump immediately.- tg51

West Louisiana
I recently PCS'd to Louisiana and had to leave many of my favorite shops behind. Is anyone familiar with any local pipe shops? Hopefully I can avoid having to make weekend excursions to Houston or New Orleans solely for the purpose of buying tobacco.- tg51

Escudo?
I’ve seen a couple forum members posting about leaving escudo in the rear-view. Had the blend changed? Prices too high now? What started this fall from grace?- tg51

It is nice to see varied interest in pipe smoking, especially on the forum. Wide array of opinions to be sure.- tg51

T That is an apt summary. From personal experience two things come to mind. The best cigarette (desperate times and all...) I ever smoked was soaking wet, huddled under a poncho in the middle of the woods with four of my buddies on the coldest night of an exercise. The greatest cup of coffee...- tg51

When you "parfait" tobacco blends so to speak, what do you usually look for? I've never experimented with the idea before. Do you look more for blends that will compliment/diversify and build depth? Or is it more of a random "I feel like these" kind of moment?- tg51
