As I mentioned, I'm guilty of hoarding away tobacco. Mostly because I fear the day may come when tobacco will become more difficult to procure or become so costly as to prohibit my procurement. In that event, it is nice to know that for at least a few years, I will have some fine tobacco to smoke. But, it seems like daily I'm reminded of how fragile and tenuous life can be. Therefore, whether it be tobacco or something else that one may enjoy, don't keep putting it off. Tomorrow may truly never come. Having said that, maybe I can apply that logic to myself and smoke some of the McClelland blends that I have stashed away in the cellar.

So many things in life are like this. You don't want to burn through your stash because there is a point in the future where that blend would be perfect. Then again you can't tell what is going to happen and there is no time like the present. Then again the only ones I can keep around are the best. But I am not saving them for ever, just enough false scarcity to keep from getting used to a particular blend. Life is complicated like that though. Sorry about your friend make sure when ever you break on the waiting to give out a cheers for your friend.

never have that problem being vegan!

I'm the opposite of vegan. I'm usually standing behind the cow giving birth with a catchers mitt filled with flour and bread crumbs ready to turn jr. moo into a delicious veal parmigiana.

Never vegan! I like animals: they taste nice and their hides make nice pipe pouches.

And they make fantastic bicycle seats. Have tried a broken in Brooks saddle? It's like a vacation for you butt.

haha had that happen yes. Or the ghost poo.


Or the pebble. You go in there feeling you are going to have to do the superhuman and back out an anacondona - you even have Salt N Peppa's "Push It" song playing on your phone to help you and then after 30 minutes of hunkering down...disappointment. Now I know how my mom felt after she gave birth to me.

I’m in the comfortable position of my smoking rate being much slower than my cellaring rate. Just by smoking what’s already open, moving in chronological order through my cellared tins and jars, and smoking a good portion of my rotation from fresh bulks and tins I have no interest in aging, I’m not really waiting on anything.

Double bowling it. A pipe full of great tobacco and a ripping good dump enjoyed in a leisurely fashion. Careful not to drop your lighter, tamp, or pipe.

Walking with a pipe is called lunting. There needs to be a word for the above activity.
