Next you need to do one cob, one day for a year...build your 365 day rotation of cobs. It is the opposite of sell everything but 3, but it is an option.
That would be much less work than only one pipe! But much more costly!

Bowl 935. Was a mixture of C&D Burley flake #2 and Pegasus. Wasn't planned that way, sometimes it just happens.

And I've got my rotation, and possible final pipes ever, for when this is done, if anyone cares. It's all layed out and waiting for me.

Getting close to that big 1K. Got anything special planned.




Be careful. You accidentally got some good tobacco in there.

Yeah, I know. The ? Blue Socks Of Shame...

I imagine it's a crazy time to be moving. Good luck with all that.

No I haven't thought about anything special. So I guess not ....I'm kinda boring. Other than smoking ANY other pipe....I have my corn cob and two brand new unsmoked pipes waiting for me.

Good to see this thread still going! I can’t believe we are coming up on a year now!
Good job dude, you have way more self discipline than I’ll ever have. There is no way I could just stick with one pipe for a year, no matter how good the pipe may be, I need a selection.

It seems really difficult, but only having one option makes things very simple. Yes it can be boring, and I miss my other pipes, but it's not as hard as it seems.

I'm in the last month today as we speak! Whooooo.

I guess it is my proclivity for wear and patina, but I think the tamper is improved considerably by its "time away." Hang in there didi', your persistence is commendable. I couldn't do it ... just too much of a variety fiend. You could make a plaque for that Dr. Grabow when you are done with an explanation of its marathon performance. And to remind you to never do this again. The pipe seems to have held up. The Dr. Grabow people should feature you in an ad.

There will be a plaque made for it. Something simple, with dates and number of smokes or something on it.

And yes it will be a great reminder to NEVER do this again lmao.

Do you think you will keep this pipe in rotation or put it out of service and mount it to a monument
