Thanks for bringing this up, lukester
I had full intention of hitting Pacifica Pier today, but stuff happened.
The last time I fished with a pipe, I was smoking the "who knows what this jar stuff is" from my local B&M. Corinthian is what it was called, some aromatic I still have ... I actually wonder if I could puff it and figure out what's in it now.
I'll probably be packing some Frog Morton On the Bayou and McClellands Legends the next time I fish.
If there's any other Bay Area pier rats (that's what pier fishers are called around here), and want to meet up some weekend, PM me.
