Pipe Shape Choice. Idea Vs Reality
"The quandary is I enjoy the straight more but want to love the bent shape. Four pipes in I need to make a decision and agonisingly I am leaning towards straight." I'm not getting it. Why the agony? Why do you have to decide NOW? You have two of each style. So basically have available whatever...- Jef

Process Of Selecting Next Smoke.
I make my choice of a pipe and tobacco when I am ready to smoke. When I finally have time to myself with no real time constraints, that is my time to enjoy my smoke.

Who Are The Real Tobacco Snobs?
I believe that how a person spends his hard earned money is his business. However, if the individual posts a "looky looky what I got" type of post, then that person is just opening themselves up for either praise or criticism.

Finding What you Really Like
I like 1Q alot. I have been smoking it for about 4yrs now. However, I buy an ounce of another tobacco on most orders that I make just to try. Seems cavendishes are my favorites. Haven't found anything that I enjoy as much as 1Q yet. My next adventure is to try cavendishes from other blenders. jef- Jef

Is it just me?
To each his own. A man is entitled to his opinion. That is the beauty of America. However, another beauty is the fact that if I don't care for it, then I don't have to watch it. jef- Jef
