So I popped to the local B&M and got myself a Falcon and some Erinmore flake. Never tried either before. Went to the nearest pub and got a Guiness, sat out back and light up. Very impressed! Cool and easu to keep lit. Happy me :)

Well even if the pipe fell apart and the Erinmore bit, the Guinness would set everything right again. :)
FWIW, the best Guinness I ever had was -- not so surprisingly -- at the Guinness brewery in Dublin. There were floral notes and sweetness that I've never encountered anywhere else. Second best was anywhere else in Dublin. After that, it pretty much tastes the same everywhere else. But if you ever have the chance to have a Guinness at the brewery, don't pass it by. (And their bar has an amazing view of Dublin. Unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to enjoy a pipe at the same time.)

Oddly enough you aren't the first person to tell me Guinness is better in Dublin. You would have thought it would all be the same stuff...

It may well be the "same stuff." But it's noticeably different -- and better -- when it's fresh at the brewery.

I will bear that in mind and if I ever go it is exactly the sort of thing to come top of my list!

Glad you enjoyed yourself. I'd kill for the ability to have a pint and a smoke at the local place.

Falcons are good pipes. I have a straight and full bent one. The straight is a great smoker. I haven't gotten the full bent yet(it's on the mail), but I'm sure it will be great as well.

Sounds like you had a great day.
When I read your title....

Day Off Work, Treated Myself!

I thought?
Had to take a day off?

Therefore it follows; that, you must have had to pick up something OTC for your pipe. :rofl:
Sorry. It's been that kind of day. :D

:puffy:

Congratz on the treats. Sounds like an awesome day off. Very awesome that you can enjoy a pint and smoke a bowl in a public place.

Only in a pub beer garden, not actually in the pub. No indoor smoking! Streets are ok though
