Forget Desert Island Pipe...What's Your Apocalypse Pipe!

[pipenscotch]

I've seen a few threads in the past that discussed what pipe and tobacco you'd have with you if you were to be stranded on a desert island. Well here's a new question. What pipe (only allowed one) and tobacco (assuming it was in endless supply, you could just wish it into existence), would you take with you in a post-apocalyptic situation? Consider durability (considering the environment, harsh, unforgiving Etc Etc...). The tobacco is less important, basically the one that would bring you the most pleasure in such an environment.
I myself would choose either my very first pipe (a Savinelli basket, mostly because it's had the shit kicked out of it and it's still smoking like a champ), or a cob. Although I'd be concerned that the cob would burn out over time.
Choose wisely!

It'd probably be made of brylon or bake-lite. Not my preferrence; but it's virtually indestructable. Although I could probably just make my own clays or cobs with not too much effort.

ARISTOCOB

A knife and some wood and new bowls.

All due respect, but if started smoking a Brylon pipe, I'd feel I'd pretty much had it. Give me a briar pipe with a smooth or

blast finish, a medium or slightly small bowl to conserve tobacco. Maybe a Chocum or BC straight billiard. Granger tobacco,

which when found in the Egyptian pyramids was ready to smoke. (Not really, of course, but you get the idea.) Or if an asteroid

was going to hit us for sure, my Ser Jacopo bent blast Dublin and a full tin of Dunhill MM 965.

Probably a general macarther pipe because I'd want a looooooooooooooong smoke before going to hell!

As long as I have my pocketknife on me, I can make a pipe. But, it might not be pretty, ha ha!!

Despite protests to the contray, Yello-Bole brylon would be my choice. I have two. I often travel with them because they are so tough. The do get a little hot to handle, but both smoke fine otherwise. Plus, their size to weight ratio makes them an effective impromptu weapon to hurl at an oncoming opponent, try that with your puny cobs!!!!
My tobacco of choice would be Mixture 79...obviously!

Although I love my Petersons (which are mostly built like tanks), my Savs, Stanwell, and other pipes (including a couple of higher end pipes), my Nordings have grown very dear to me. I have a matched pair of Silver Series blasted straight billiards (one of which I'm smoking now), which never let me down! They're stout pipes with thick walls, nice open draws, they smoke cool in every sense of the word, they smoke dry and they're drilled perfectly!

You can't ask for much more than that in a pipe!

One is a dedicated Va/Va/Per pipe (smoking LBF in that one at the moment), the other is a dedicated English/Balkan pipe.

Depending on which one I took, my tobacco would probably be either McClelland Blue Mountain or Orlik Golden Sliced.

Brewshooter, no one speaks up for Brylon. I'm proud of you. They look like little thumb burners, but I admit,

I've never owned one and never smoked one. Are you really going to sell us all a Brylon Yello-Bole? You know

how vulnerable this group is to PAD. Are you sure you want to do this to us? Does every Forums member need

a Brylon in their glove compartment? Are your sure of this? Should I get my Brylon Forever post ready?
What the hell is Brylon? I know it's a synthetic something made to replace briar during World War II, but what

is it? Nylon and wood fiber?
