Another year almost down ― which also means another year of collections: tobacco(s), pipes, opinions, friends, lessons, and experiences. December is a good time to slow down, take a look behind, and appreciate were we've been ― because, ultimately, it's also the path to were we're going.
1. Top 5 Blends of 2015 (a scoreboard of your top tobacco picks from, or prior to, 2015)?
Vincent Manil's La Brumeuse Semois
Peterson's Irish Flake
Dunhill's Nightcap
Mac Baren's HH Old Dark Fired Ready-Rubbed
McClelland's Frog Morton Cellar
2. Biggest Surprise (the humble, unassuming SUPERSTAR blend)?
Peterson's Irish Flake
3. Biggest Disappointment (that one blend that was all hype, and little of anything else)?
Peterson's St. Patrick's Day 2015
4. Most Consumed (Ounces? Pounds? Tons?! Which tried and true blend saw the most action in your rotation)?
Cornell & Diehl's Haunted Bookshop
5. MVP [Most Valuable Pipe] of the Year (we all know who man's best friend REALLY is; which loyal partner saw you through the good times, the bad times ― in sunshine and brutal storm)?
Peterson's 1985 [rusticated] Mark Twain
BONUS: Honorable Mention (in the underworld of TOBACCO ADDICTS and PIPE JUNKIES, what stood at the most for you this year)?
Gentleman, scholar, and elder statesman ― Mr. Pappymac was generous enough to allow me access to his private blend, Lighthouse Keeper, in order to renew my faith, that not all nautical themed blends sail the seas of toxicity.
I'm immensely curious to see other memember's year in review.
