Got two pipes from Heath Piersel, aka Mr. 'Crappy Pipes,' last week. The bigger pipe accepts a 9mm filter, and Heath was kind enough to ship it with an adapter/plug. But I knew I was going to be puffing hard yesterday while rounding up the yearlings and administering their dewormer (they get itchy this time of year), and I'd filled the pipe full of Margate which I find hard on the tongue if smoked over-zealously. So I put a Stanwell charcoal filter in there (perish the thought, I know), clenched it in my teeth, and puffed away. I've gotta say folks, that was a hell of a smoke. The pipe had zero cake and it never so much as warmed up -- neither did my tongue. I felt great, and the inside of my tractor smells great too.
Today, on the other hand, I sat on the porch in a leisurely fashion, smoking a much mellower blend in a much fancier pipe, and the experience was, shall we say, vastly inferior.
I am now officially a huge fan of the Crappy Pipe, and look forward to adding more to the roster.
Thanks Heath!
