I unwittingly codger scooped G&H Broken Flake #7 this morning while I was busy doing my usual routine and only realized after smoking for a considerable period that I hadn’t actually gone through my usual preparation and packing and that just gave me a good laugh. 😄

Normally I quite enjoy the preparation and routine of selecting the flakes and rubbing to the desired consistency, allowing a few moments to dry a bit, then packing the pipe with care and intention … and yeah, that didn’t happen at all, lol. Just absent-mindedly codger scooped a favorite pipe and lit up before shoving it in my gob and lighting it up.

I got a good laugh from it all. Don’t believe that’s ever happened before with the normally finicky G&H flakes, mostly because I don’t love hassling with the moisture and lighting if I don’t prepare them with at least some degree of intent.

Didn’t even notice until 30 minutes into the smoke 😁

Sometimes I enjoy the prep, but more often than not I don’t. The majority of my routine choices get prepped and dried a half pint jar at a time to fit the “grab and go” style life has me at currently.

I only smoke a couple of bowls a day and now that I'm retired, I have sworn off of "grab n go" unless something is hitting the fan....

Personally, I really enjoy the prep process whether I'm folding and tucking or rubbing out or cube cutting some plug. Man, I love that process.....
