"A fine cigar is like a fine woman. They come in all shapes and sizes. Treat them tenderly and lovingly. Caress their skin, admire their beauty, fondle them with reverence. Bring them slowly to your lips, enjoy their flavor, their aroma. Contemplate their essence, their dependability, and forgive them their weaknesses - if there be any. Revel in the rituals, their simplicity and their enduring meanings. Do these things, my son, and the blessings of life shall always be upon you." -Prince Sined Yar Maharg

Since the pipe board seems a little dead, I figured a quarterly post might be a better idea.

I smoke a pipe almost daily, and would love to see who else out there partakes of a bowl occasionally.

Here's my latest:
Today I have been finishing off a bowl of Father Dempsey in my recently acquired Sav Tortuga straight apple (English dedicated) and have a Ropp vintage straight billiard loaded with Haunted Bookshop on deck.

@nirab,
Totally jealous, I was not cellaring very deep when they went under, so my last can died during the lockdown.

BTW, excellent TNH quote, he is one of my favorite Buddhist authors.

I had a bowl last night of some Frog "On the Town" that I cellared away back in 2015.
Really mellow now.

Had a few bowls of Watch City Ahab's Comfort over the weekend camping. Excellent smoky blend!

Today I am smoking some C&D Dreams of Kadath, cut from the plug on the thicker side and rubbed out.

Smoking it in my Savanelli Rhodesian.

Dark, smokey, slightly sweet with a nice perique stone fruit and pepper note throughout the whole bowl.

I got lucky and had some in the shop when the word got out, so I grabbed a few tins.

I practice in the Buddhist tradition taught by TNH...makes me happy to know someone on here appreciates him, and his wisdom...

This morning I lit up a bowl of MacBaren Golden Extra, in a Ropp Vintage straight billiard.

It's a small bowl, a relatively short smoke, but perfect for a burley blend.
