Today's smokes were C&D Opening Night in the Savinelli 313 prince and H&H WhiteKnight in the Dr Grabow Regal straight squat bulldog. Both were fine, but it was fairly windy out today, so they burned hotter and less flavorful. I tried to bend the prongs on my wind cap a little so it would fit one of my narrower pipes, and now it won't fit anything. Time to order another one (or two.)
In happier news, my wife brought a bag of popsicle sticks home from the craft store, so I've been nerdily applying the George D trick to all of my pipes. I imagine that exposing older cake will throw off the taste of my next few smokes a tiny bit, but that's just fine.
