Today was one of those days where I looked over my pipes, looked over my tobaccos, and just couldn't make up my mind. What pipe speaks to me today? What tobacco? I sat down for a bit, and looked again later. This took a few tries today. I sat down at the table for a bit, enjoying some coffee, and just happened to have Bagpipers Dream on the table. So it sort of chose me. Upon looking at my pipes again, I spied my Hilson Dream. It really is a beautiful pipe, but I've only smoked it a few times. Enough to count on one hand actually. So I picked it up and thought I'd see how the pipe and tobacco liked each other. Apparently they liked each other very well and I had a very enjoyable smoke. Kicked back with coffee and lightly sipped the pipe, only having to relight when I grew distracted and forgot to sip. The one time it went out on it's own, I re-lit... and got nothing. I emptied the ash into a can... nothing... but... ash. I leaned back in my chair with a smile, slowly inhaled, slowly exhaled. I was content, I was relaxed. A truly wonderful smoke today.
On the Hilson Dream pipe... This pipe, smoked very few times, has little if any cake buildup and smoked like an absolute dream. So the name fits. I believe Pipesandcigars was the only site carrying them, but it doesn't appear they have any of them anymore. I purchased mine in March... looking back over an old topic I see that I never followed through with a picture. It also seems I purchased the one Cobguy had his sites on. Sorry about that Cobguy. He was happy it went to a member here though so no harm no foul.

Maybe Russ can chime in and let us know if they'll be getting any more of these in. Because I'd love to have another.

It truly is pleasing when we have a great smoking experience. I love reading about other's and I had to share one of mine as well.
