When pipe and blend come together

[thesmokindragon]

Ever have that moment when a pipe and blend just come together and you get that pure bliss smoke?....well I'm having that moment right now happy to say :worship: - 6yr old Penzance in a 2011 Boswell Bent/Rusticated Shotshell with caramel swirl lucite stem and it is paired with some fresh Cuban coffee ::

I find that what you drink can really send mixed messages to you palate especially if it's a tobacco whose flavor profile you have enjoyed previously. I have to have unpasteurized apple cider with my meds and then head out for my first pipe and some strong black coffee. The first few puff taste off until I snork it then it hits me my palate needs a cleansing so I quaf a good slug of my java and do again a second time then alls right with my smoke. Plenty of folks dedicate a few pipes to a few blends but I don't think it because of what you've experienced, I know I have my magic smoking Le pipe and tobacco blends and by the season as well, just can't beat an epiphany smoke,regards.

@ Weezell - thank you brother , blast from the past ::
@ Fishnbanjo - agree, I have specific pipes/blends, lots of time spent doing my research, hehe - also helps to feed my TAD and PAD

Forget the tobacco, I want a shotshell pipe! :worship:

Thanks Brother, that good 'ol 2011 Boswell Shotshell smokes blends like a beast, hehe. I have two of them, the one pictured here is dedicated to English blends, I have another 2011 bent/all rusticated with silver shotgun shell dedicated to Vs. The Boswell's are great folks. I got a chance to stop by their shop back in 2012 where of course my PAD went into overdrive and I snagged a nice rusticated bent Volcano with a blue pearl lucite stem.
Here is one of their spirals I smoke only V flake in, also does an outstanding job :worship:
