The Ultimate Delayed Gratification

[woodsroad]

While cleaning up the garage today, I uncovered a set of cobs marked for an A/B taste test of Conor Plug and a War Horse prototype blend. This goes back to before War Horse Bar was released, maybe 2013. Russ had sent me some samples to try, and as it was the dead of winter, I retired to the garage to imbibe. Skip ahead a few years, and there the pipes are, just as I had left them. I lit the Condor pipe...perfectly enjoyable. Maybe even more so, with a few years of topping evaporation on it.

Paradise Found! Sweet.

That’s amazing! Man, had one of the dogs nock a cob loaded with War Horse Bar that I had only smoked a 1/4 of behind my very heavy fire pit. That was last winter. The wife and I while prepping this winter for back porch smoking, moved the fire pit to clean behind it. There was my pipe I had forgotten about! Not to be one that throws out anything, I fired it up........yeah, was less than stellar. Smoked it anyway though!

Nice find...it's like putting you hand in you jeans and finding a buck from who knows when!

I love it! Enjoy!

I was cleaning up the reloading bench, something I haven’t used for a long time, and enjoyed the Condor while sorting stuff out.

What were the drill bits for Dan? Removing loose bits of Condor chest expelled lurgies?

I spy with my little eye some Zymol. That's the good stuff.

 

[woodsroad]

Zymol from when I had a black car. It worked wonders! Not bad on guns and other metal stuff, too.

No, it's for a self-inflicted lobotomy, for when you just want to keep that Condor Plug feeling going.

RCBS?

 

[woodsroad]

Some RCBS (some of their dies and I just bought a new ProMelt), but my presses are Dillon and Lee. Been eyeing the RCBS electronic powder dispenser, though.

Cool DGT find!!!
I was smoking some War Horse last night, and it must have been the topping, but I started to get a chemical feeling headache and a little dizzy, so I went outside for some fresh air and ended up caught in traffic like a wide-eyed, freaked out kitten dodging cars. But, after a few minutes all sweaty and shaking, I realized that it was just the neighbor's Christmas lights. You have to be careful with the War Horse.

TBF, you probably Frank-method packed it too.

-sigh- There are a lot of times I do very much wish I could still shoot. Damned arthritis. I had to give it up when it got to the point that I couldn't even shoot a cylinder of squib loads (piddling 3 gr of Bullseye over a 148-gr wadcutter [sigh2]) in the old Blackhawk without turning my middle knuckle black & blue.

That beauty was God's own tackdriver. 7.5" barrel, restocked with hand-finished Herrett Shooting Ace slabs, & of course a trigger job. I could put 6 out of 6 dead center in a paint can at 50 yds offhand. That thing was sweet.....

I can't imagine anything scarier than you with a gun Bill!

So that was you I saw stumbling in the lights.

As well you shouldn't. The Punisher/Equalizer from Hell. Like Dementors -- won't differentiate between the one being hunted & the poor sap who just happens to get in the way!

Pipes do tend to hide out to be rediscovered. I wouldn't do it intentionally, but when it happens, it's like an unexpected gift. A little ghost makes it especially fine.

Yeah, STG owns all the rights to War Horse now, so I bear zero responsibility for whatever crap they decide to put in it.

I really enjoy my 10/22 nowadays. And the AR in 300AAC is a joy as well.
