I’m back!

[lonefrog615]

Well folks, due to an unexpected health problem that was both persistent and unexplained, I was forced into that horrible state of existence where the pipe was forbidden by both the wife and the doctor! (They ganged up on me!) I haven’t had a pipe in almost 2 years!!!

...but fear not my brothers in briar because the issue has been resolved and my matches are once again at the ready!

Only one question remains...which pipe and which tobacco to smoke! What would be your pipe/tobacco after a 2 year layoff?

 

[steamboat]

I would recommend buying some McCleeland 5100 tonight or 2015 and enjoy =)

 

[jamban]

Frog Morton Across the Pond or On the Town maybe?

 

[cortezattic]

Something mild, for sure. Use SmokingPipes.com's Tobacco Locator to find something that suits your taste. They're running a 15% off bulk blends currently.

Oh Steamboat you naughty fella! :rofl:
Welcome back, Lonefrog!

 

[steamboat]

Sorry i had to do it. Im praying to God this does not turn into a McClelland thread!

 

[Chasing Embers]

Too late.

Only one question remains...which pipe and which tobacco to smoke!

Pick one and run with it. Blends and companies are dropping like flies.

Welcome back, start with your favorites and look deep in your cellar.

 

[briarbuck]

McClelland 40th anniversary blend.
It came out while you were in the gulag. I am happy to supply a bowl or 3 if you cannot find.

 

[jamban]

I have never tasted 40th Anniversary... i would love a bowl!

 

[mso489]

Maybe stay with milder leaf for a while, and 40th Anniversary would be a good one.

 

[thomasw]

I don't know what type of leaf you like. Yet I do concur with the milder notion. For myself, after a two year span of no piping at all, I would reach for a straight burley flake, one of Wessex Burley Slice or Solani ABF.

 

[cigrmaster]

A Smauel Gawith flake, or maybe Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls. Anyway welcome back and enjoy whatever you decide to smoke.

steamboat, that Lighthouse looks awfully familiar! The End! :D

 

[Civil War]

Welcome Back!!

 

[oldmansmoking]

2 years is too long without a pipe and tobacco! Welcome back.

 

[lifesizehobbit]

Man; 2 years. I thought my 8-9 month layoff would be lengthy (4.5 months anticipated left)...
Welcome back! What was your favorite before the layoff? Go with that and treat yourself to a new pipe.

Nothing’s been aging in your cellar?
