Trust me...Dan Tobacco's Holly's Non Plus Ultra
http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/407/dan-tobacco-hollys-non-plus-ultra
Holy God Almighty...is there any worse reviewed tobacco out there?
The memory of this tobacco haunts me to this day. I have severed all ties with the person who insisted I try it, and destroyed the pipe it was smoked in.
Things I would rather smoke than this blend: -C4 -Donald Trump's hairpiece -The powdered brains of my own children
The only worse-tasting tobacco I've ever encountered was when a friend of mine took some chopped up pieces of a tree, put them in a bag, and gave them to me as a joke.

The other approach is to weed out the "non-hackers" (thanks, Ermy!) right away.
Stomp in there with your Cob General stuffed to the brim with some Creeping Death blend and find out what the candidate is made of!
:rofl:
This one gets my vote. Could save you both a lot of time.

She indicated interest in my pipes (via photos on Facebook and Messenger) but I'm gonna take Cosmic's advice and keep a loaded 106 Irish Harp with MD just in case. Thanks, guys !

Does she know that your pipes are filled with tobacco? Because...you know...that might be a one helluva mix up.
Assuming she does, do you want to conjure memories of her grandpa? I’m thinking that path leads to dangerous territory. So maybe best not to load a bowl with eau du grandpa.
When I was a kid and had my doubts my dad sat me down and told me whenever I didn’t know what to do, I should think about what James Bond would do and then do it. That’s how I live my life and so far...no regrets. My advice to you is to smoke what James Bond would smoke....sure, sure, you might get a mix 79 from Roger Moore, but not a Connery...and everyone knows. Connery is the real Bond.
So the question becomes what would Connery smoke while he was playing Bond (cuz the irl Connery is a bit bonkers). Gotta be something manly, smoky, with a twist of something exotic, perhaps with just a suggestion of underpants...for mood. Maybe London Mix? But definitely not presby.
Or you could forget all that and just go with a bubble pipe. Cuz that would be funny and fun is the true way to a woman’s heart.

Find a blend that reminds her of ... a second or third cousin. Probably fewer mental problems than a blend that reminds her of dad or Grandpa.

Stress added.
Perhaps we should refocus on the original post. We seem to have strayed into a murky area. Not suggesting Church ladies can't be hotties of course.

Since MD has a pleasant scent, I don't think leavin a pipe already filled in my blazer pocket would be a problem.

Now, Michael, I'm impressed. Seriously for real. A true gentleman.
I figured you were going to say something like, "Well??!? DID she?!" :)

I totally agree with Cosmic. The guy grows his own tobacco and understands women's language, what else would you expect from a man? The only thing I would like to add is, don't show her what she wants to see immediately. Let her stay curious about your pipe smoking habit. There may be 2 options: 1) She just likes you and used your pipe smoking habit as an excuse to start or continue a conversation. In this case you must be more than your hobby, you are not only a pipe smoking guy, it is just one of your interesting sides. 2) She really finds pipes interesting (church - churchwarden pipes, grandpa smoking pipes, father smoking pipes, etc.). And in this case you won't be giving away your weapon easily.
Roj-oh, Tom. Today's "smooth move" is a lot less neanderthal/cosmopolitan, a lot more metro-something. Or so I've been told, anyway. I got yanked off the market a little over 35 ago.
Sir, whoever told you that is totally wrong. The thing is women always think about x and tell y. They use that y as a screen on their realities and sell it that way to the men. That's why we always think that they are difficult to understand. For example, you have an argument with a lady, she gets upset and asks you not to disturb her. You say ok, mind your own business, then you get this: Don't you worry about me anymore? Where were you? And you say: But you asked me not to disturb . And in the end, you are going to be the one apologizing for being a jerk. Women love self-confident men. The ones that know what to do and when to do and how to do. Unfortunately, Hollywood and feminism wiped it and somehow injected the idea of being romantic than being realistic always works.

Someone has to suggest it ... C&D Gentleman Caller? :puffy:
I can’t argue with Motto Dolce, though.
