What The Heck?

[Sparcdude]

So I knocked my pipe to clear it out, and this came out. Very weird and, I must say, perfectly shaped! Anyone ever seen this before?

You discovered a new way to ream a pipe free of its cake!!

Let's see a photo of the bowl

You (Or someone else) guillotined a torpedo cigar and put it in your pipe.

This reminded me of a situation from a Mr. Bean episode where he puts a holiday greeting card in his own mailbox. Later on, when he receives the card he is both surprised and elated.

Nope. I've never stuck a cigar in any of my pipes. My working theory is that the tobacco wasn't dry enough and I tamped too hard. It came out of my Father's Day Pete.

I just found it odd and, to be honest, amusing. Stuff like this seems to happen to me a lot. I won't go into any details, but I'm sure the statute of limitations has expired by now...

Oops - on second thought...

I may have clipped a cigar and while the tip didn't go into the pipe, it just sat on the knocker to mock me...

 

[Bbailey324]

It sure looks like the tip of a cigar. Might crumble up a few and try smoking them. I've done that with decent results.

Either a Hershey’s Kiss or cigar tip. Either way your draw must have been impacted some? ️

After zooming into the photo, I think it's growing a pair of legs.

That’s not a good sign man. Not good at all.

I would hope you'll share with the results of a closer examination of the plug? Tobacco? Droplet? Hershey kiss?

 

[Sparcdude]

Well...consider the fact that I appear to be an idiot...

It turns out that it was, indeed, the clipping from a cigar that somehow landed in the pipe so that when I knocked it, it would reappear to mess with my head. I'm now starting to wonder if some of my cigars are sentient and ganging up on me.

You'd have to tamp the hell out of your tobacco to get it to look like a perfectly cut cigar end. I put money on it being a cigar. Give it a smoke and see.

EDIT: Oh, I see you post above mine now. Nevermind.

There's a marketing idea. Preloaded, pressed kake pipes.

Did a squirrel take a dump in your pipe?

 

[condorlover1]

@Buffalo : They used to sell pre-loaded 'owl pellets' that you just put in the pipe and lite. Seriously you can google it!

In the late 18th century that was a thing, sort of. You'd buy pre-packed clay pipes, smoke them, and toss the pipe.

With the state of the internet these days, I'll take your word for it. Who knows what I would stumble across searching for smoking owl pellets!

 

[beefeater33]

The Christmas elves paid you a visit and used your pipe for a commode!

Now there's a thought...gather up all the cigar clippings and mash them all together and sell them as a unique smoking sensation! Need a catchy name, though...Clippybacco?

I think I need more caffeine.
