Pipers sound off if you’re present

[KS Plainsman]

Just happened to be smoking a Country Gentleman with my all-day tobacco when I opened this thread.

Of those that I have most have been smoked multiple times daily for the last 3-5 years without any cracking. luck of the draw.

I did recently misplace one and was going to order another one $17 believe my last ones were around $12

Truth be told, and to be totally transparent, I'm sure it was mostly my bad, initially, with the Country Gentleman. I only started smoking pipes a couple years ago, maybe? So, I was smoking them too hot and hitting them a bit hard at first. It took me a bit to get my cadence dialed in, and not heat things up too much. Slowing down finally, is probably why it's lasted as long as it has, even though it's cracked 2/3 of the way through.

I did have 1 cob pipe that burned out quick. Like it burnt through the bowl. I read that every now and again that does happen, and sometimes they're just "defective".

I keep my keys, wallet, and pocket knife in one of the larger ashtrays on my dresser in fact!

That's a fantastic use for one! I'm going to steal that idea.

And yeah fairly frequently I’ll smoke a codger blend in the morning. I’ve been into them lately.

Sir Walter is alright in the morning when I’m getting my life together before work

I keep hearing several folks who are fans of codger blends. I haven't smoked any of them myself. I need to change that, I guess.

50 years ago all I knew were the drug store options Sir Walter, Borkum Riff, Prince Albert, Half n Half, Middleton.

guess that is what makes me an ole codger, did not know pipe stores existed until I got to civilized cities.

I’ve got tubs of everything if you wanna try the codgers. I don’t know if they still sell pouches of any of it anymore. Just tubs I know Carter hall and Prince Albert only come in tubs. But yeah I’ll hook you up if you want some

My grandfather had many empty metal cans of Prince Albert and Half & Half used for storing nuts and bolts and other small items in his shed and barn. I would do the same with my empty cans of On nicotine pouches but they are too small to hold much of anything. I do keep moistened cleaning and shooting patches for my muzzleloaders in them though.

I use Camel Frost cans for the same.

Nevermind

He hasn't posted in over a month. I was wondering too, and looked at his profile.

Convenience stores around here sell huge bags of "pipe tobacco" for cheap, its favored by the broke as a joke crowd for roll your own cigarettes. I wonder if any of it is actually decent in a pipe? As I understand it, if you label it pipe tobacco the excise tax is much less.

Your pipe stash drawer reminds me of my tobacco hiding place when I was in middle and high school. I had a little bit of everything in there: cigarettes, cigars, dip, chew, Zippo supplies. All tucked away in a place my mom and sister would never find it. Mom would confiscate, sister would steal for her own use!

I should add that one time when I was like 16, I pulled out my pipe and started puffing at a party. My fellow revelers were really disappointed to find out I was just smoking tobacco. They were like, WTF is wrong with you? I was like, WTF is wrong with you, wanting ruin a good pipe with garbage weed that smelled like a horse's ass?
