Thanks, everyone. I smoked the first bowl in it this morning. I packed it with 1Q and lit it up before pulling out of Ottawa Lake, MI. It lasted almost to Lansing, well over an hour. It's a great, leisurely smoke.
I don't have any special blend set aside for IPSD, but will be enjoying some of the tins I have stored away and don't smoke too often as I can't pack from a tin while driving. I am thinking of breaking out the tin of Sherlock Holmes after lunch. :D
As for future milestones, I should think at the one year mark I'll treat myself to either a Dunhill, of which I currently own none, or a nice silver spigot which is something I have always wanted.
