Dueling Pipes

[RainKing]

Saturday we finally had some evening weather in the 50’s. As it has been so cold here recently, I was excited to get back outside without being so bundled up. But I as torn trying to choose which blend would help me set spring into motion. I couldn’t decide. Sooo, I decided to pack two pipes simultaneously. One with Presbyterian, and one with Old Toby. I’d smoke one for about 10 min, set it down and reach for the other. This continued until both were gone. I equated it having a meal with different courses. I don’t plan on doing it too often. But it was fun. Cue the banjos. Haha

Nice!

Can’t say I’ve ever done that. Do you think it helped you better taste each, by taking the break with something different?

I've sort of done that by chance, when I've left a partially smoked bowl overnight and forgot, and packed a new pipe, and ended up smoking them intermittently, but it was by chance and not intent. It's like having a side dish.

Did that title above infer a hint to anybody else that carried to an extreme would mean, "Dueling Pipes - to the death ! ! !"

Not sure it helped with picking out individual flavors. But it really let me appreciate each blend as a cohesive unit. I enjoy all the flavors married together.

A matched set of Barling dueling pipes at 10 paces!

Haha. More of a homage to “Dueling Banjos”.

What would the pipe world version of “Deliverance” be?

Has to be a Devil Anse.... right?

I’ve yet to try that, but I’m open for anything with pipes. I do, on occasion,

(Finishing post) layer different tobaccos, usually according to strength, in a very large bowl. It’s interesting how one tobacco melds with the next and so on.

I thought it was about two old gents throwing basket pipes at each other.. In a pipe shop with store owner foaming at the mouth.

I've always wanted to try this as a way to compare/contrast (curse you literature teachers for that!) two similar blends.

I might have to give it a shot with Penzance and Balkan Supreme...
