A Bar Exam for Pipesmokers

[Peterson314]

A co-worker sees you smoking a pipe, and he tells you that he just got his first pipe and is working through his first tin--Cult Blood Red Moon. He's having a great time and asks for a recommendation for his next blend. Which do you recommend:

A) Penzance. That ought to slow him down. I mean, really... what's one more person looking for Penzance?
B) Sammy G's Black XX Rope. Some people like to wear floaties and play in the kiddie pool, but ain't nobody got time for that. You're more of a "throw you in the lake and see if you make it back to the boat" kind of guy.
C) C&D's Syrian Trawler. His girlfriend said that she actually likes the smell of his pipe tobacco. We can fix that problem.
D) Billy Budd. Some C&D blends you either love or hate. Let's go ahead and throw the gauntlet so he knows what he's getting into.
E) Autumn Evening. You've been looking for some idiot a new smoker to offload this jar for years now.

Oh my gosh, I was laughing my head off over some of these replies while eating, and then got a piece of food stuck in my throat, and was hacking for like 10 minutes LOL.

Damm, it’s dangerous to eat while reading funny stuff, remind me never to do it again! LOL

One should not smoke until your teeth becomes the color of a beautiful Tuscan sunset. I blind myself with my pearly yellows when walking past my mirror. Why brush teeth when you can savor the aftertaste?
