Pipe Of The Day (POTD)

[CptBlueBear]

Erinmore again, this time in a Danish Sovereign (a Stanwell "second" I believe, not that I can find fault with it!)

I call that a "Classic Smoke"

I have a pouch of Prince Albert in my "queue" which I'll smoke in any one of a number of reasonably upmarket briars, will that make me a social climber or slumming it?

Pease Cumberland in my new Brebbia Avanti prince
Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Sav Punto Oro large billiard w/ military mount
Bright CR Flake in my funky Paronelli beater.

Captain Black regular in a MM Legend. I know my smokes are pretty boring but I am just getting into pipes and I must say I am enjoying it very much and I am developing PAD and TAD!! Not good for my budget! I am sure I will be smoking some better quality tobbacco soon enough and hopefully in a nice briar! I do enjoy the cobs though!

The important thing not what you smoke, but that you smoke what you like. By all means experiment and have fun but don't feel like you have to apologize for your smoke.

Oh I am enjoying it very much and I am just trying to start out with some basic stuff so hopefully when I buy some more expensive tobbacco I will be able to detect the "higher quality." If, when I try the "higher quality" tobbacco I don't like it as much as PA or CB, well then I won't be buying the more expensive stuff anymore and will enjoy the cheaper stuff all the more!! I get how pipe smoking is very individual, like shaving with a brush and DE, and I think that is one of the reason's I am enjoying so much.

I got to try some 'drug store' baccys a while back. My favorite of the bunch turned out to be Half and Half. After I finish my "quality" tins, I plan on getting a big ol' tub of H&H!

Enjoyed some John Denger (St. Charles, MO tobacconist) blended "Packet" in a MM Diplomat after mowing the yard and trimming some trees.

Tonight it's Penzance in a Peterson B5 (Donegal). Funny thing about this rather "lowly" Pete' ...it combines two of my favorite shapes/features as I think of it as a bent bulldog with a squat calabash/Rhodesian bowl. I've not had many Peterson's that I've kept for long, but this one is a gem. I see the 2011 Sherlock Moran pipe has a similar look. Maybe when (if?) they offer them separately and with a fishtail bit, I'll "bite" on one of them as well. Then again, there's the 2011 POTY... Hmmm...maybe it's time to reinvestigate Petersons (for what it's worth, I'm generally more of a fan of older Bjarne freehands (RIP Mr. Nielson) & cheaper Tsuge pipes).
