[agnosticpipe]

Congrats on winning the contest! You got a great pipe too! :clap:

That's a looooong time on 2 matches. You've got some skill. A big congrats.

I was told it was Red Rapperee.

I keep meaning to try that... supposedly excellent stuff.

 

[winton]

Pappy, you beat my best time by one hour. You beat Kevin's time at Chicago's slow smoke by almost an hour.

 

[hawke]

Cortez, a pipe you'll never lose!
Congrats Pappy!

Congradulations!

 

[crusader]

So..........what's your secret???

 

[phil67]

It can't be worse than the stuff on regular TV...

Couldn't agree more.
Anyway... great job pappymac! :clap:

Secret? Pack right, light right. Smoke slow and easy.

 

[jmatt]

I always feel like I could do well in these contests, except I always imagine failing to get the pipe lit at all on 2 matches. Thus I'd expect to finish the contest at the 15 second mark.

What exactly is a slow smoke contest? Longest time without a relight?
Really nice prize there!

 

[deathmetal]

Pack right, light right. Smoke slow and easy.

Sounds good so far. I'm trying it today

 

[pappymac]

I have now put two bowls of Dunhill Ready Rub though it. It smokes good.

 

[papipeguy]

Congratulations on an outstanding time. What was the blend for the competition and what pipes were used?

 

[pappymac]

papipeguy- Red Rapparee was the blend. I used a Stefano Santambrogio briar.

 

[papipeguy]

Thanks, I'm always curious about the blends used for these competitions. That's a good one.

 

[halfy]

Congrats!
I attended such a competition too last year. 1 hour 17 min, 3rd place. And I won these.

I like the idea of the efficiency optimum that a nice long smoke offers. Small sips = no wasted tobacco; long burn = maximal flavor/Nicotine extracted.

Deathmetal, the red rapperee is one of a red virginia lovers favorites. If I am not mistaken it is very similar to McClellends 5100 Red Cake.
