I always take my dog out for a late night walk sometime between 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM (I'm a bit of a night owl) and usually bring a pipe along with if the weather is accommodating. Tonight I brought the Morgan Bones Milan, loaded up with Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Loose Cut.
Two days later I still have a sore throat from that Haunted Bookshop I smoked a couple nights ago, so I've just been making the rounds through my favorite aromatic blends the past few days; since they're always smooth and gentle on the throat. My short list of favorites being:
Cult Blood Red Moon
Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Loose Cut
Gawith Hoggarth Bob's Chocolate Flake
Super Value Bourbon Whiskey
There are a couple other aromatics I really like as well, such as Captain Black original and Sutliff Pumpkin Spice, but those both leave a lot of goop in the pipe that takes several pipe cleaners to scrub out and days to dry afterwards so they don't quite make the favorites list for me.
I have been really enjoying those four well-behaved aromatic blends the past few days though, enough that I have found myself wondering why I even smoke non-aromatics that always give me a sore throat and sinuses when there's plenty of good aromatics I enjoy that never seem to bother my throat or sniffer at all. I guess I just like the flavor of plain honest to goodness tobacco, even if my mucous membranes don't agree on the matter.
Still, I should probably smoke aromatics more often since my body doesn't seem to mind them and it's hard to enjoy smoking when you have a sore throat all the time from blends your body doesn't like. As the doctor would probably say, "If it hurts, stop doing it you dummy!"
Pipes are seen in this movie!
