    West Louisiana

    Any recommendations for old/interesting B&Ms?

    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.

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

    West Louisiana

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Nirvana Smokes

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

    Fair enough, no need to take away from the magic.

    Nirvana Smokes

    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...

    Nirvana Smokes

    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?

    Nirvana Smokes

    I was wondering how long it would take :LOL:. But I understand your thought, nothing will derail a trace like reaching for a lighter to relight, or a pick to adjust the air flow.

    I've never considered Maslow's Theory in relation to a pipe. That's an interesting insight though, one which I think I'll need a pipe to sit and consider...

    Stick with It

    Let it breath for a few days and try it again. If that is still unsatisfactory then seal it up and cellar it for a month or two. I experienced the same thing with some Peterson Irish Flake. Opened it up, dried a couple flakes and smoked them in my favorite pipe. Meh. Let the tin breath and...

    Nirvana Smokes

    When you surface from the pipe trance after a nirvana smoke what do you find is more common? The pipe and the tobacco just really clicked thus causing the experience, or the circumstances surrounding that bowl which primed you for the experience. Say you finished a home project, you got the...

    My package was out for delivery yesterday afternoon and only had to travel a max of two postal centers in total, so hopefully my recipient has it at this point.
