This pic should accompany a PSA on what happens if you try the delayed gratification technique when packing a pipe with crooner as per the 6th commandment
Oh yeah? This is what a 10 year dedicated to Crooner pipe looks like.?

I don’t know that I have experienced a more enlightening read in years. Everything I needed to know about pipe smoking suddenly became crystal clear! I’m thinking about printing these and putting them next to my pipe rack so I can read through them every time I smoke.
In light of your keen understanding of pipe smoking, is there any other hobbies that you have mastered that you can pass on to us? Pray tell, is there a book deal in the works?

My fiancé didn't specifically buy all these high end pipes for Christmas for me, he has been collecting high end pipes for years and I happen to now be the fortunate receiver... I think this comment from your friend is "His" personal opinion and he is entitled to it, but I don't think it can be applied in general to the rest of us. We all have different tastes and preferences..
That's really nice, giving his love that which he treasures.

So today I learned (from a purveyor of vintage tobacco) that pre-Brexit, Samuel Gawith Navy Flake was aged in mail-bouys, in the North Sea, for a minimum of 3 months. However because of post-Brexit fallout, the mail-bouy tobacco aging concession was given to Kolehauss and Kopp, so the SG Navy Flake from 2017 on, is crap. Can anybody confirm?

Not mail buoys. In these Maunsell forts. The Germans finally got them you say?

Oh, I forgot to mention, I actually was in the US Navy three years, I did have a few pipes I smoked in the Navy too, and I lived on a Sailboat for a little over year, and sailed 6,000 Nautical Miles across the Pacific, so I feel Sailor Pipe worthy. LOL ?

P.S. I’m making fun, but I actually did do all this.
