Yeah, that's the solution. But I'm torn with the tobacco budget this month between buying pipes and tobacco; if I buy the two pipes I want, the tobacco will have to wait. I guess the sensible thing to do would be to just get one of the pipes and order some tobacco. But damn it, I didn't get into this for sensibility!

PAD can be both wonderful and torturous. I try to embrace the PAD.

Congrats on trying to cellar some stuff. I can't do it right now, as much as I'd like to.

Here's a suggestion: buy both pipes and some drugstore tobacco like PA and Sugar Barrel. That way, they'll be broken in when you can afford the more expensive tobacco.

I'd love to know what two pipes are you looking at, but you don't want to advertise lest some unscrupulous person (like me) might snag them.

That's an idea; I've always got Carter Hall around, although I must admit, I don't smoke it like I did before RJ turned me on to Hal O' the Wynd. Still, I think one pipe is the thing to do. One at a time makes them special, you know?

As far as what the pipe is, it's just a Stanwell Legend Canadian. For some reason, I've become obsessed with having a Canadian since I watched The 39 Steps a couple of months ago, and OutWest Tobacco (Pipe Tobacco Pipe Smoking Tobacco Bulk Pipe Tobacco) is having a sale on Stanwells. (If someone buys it out from under me, I'll have to resort to drastic measures, like buying a different pipe or making a bigger order of tobacco...the horrors!

) I mention the website because they also have this really cool Bjarne pickaxe at half off that somebody ought to grab; I just can't justify that much on one pipe just yet...but try me in a few months...

Big smoking day today (I was off); finished off my open tins of Union Square, HOTW and Opening Night. Trying to work down these open tins before opening another for a change!

Ah, I see it. And I didn't know what a Canadian pipe looked like until this morning. Had to look it up. Anyway, nice pipe. Like the finish/color. Let us know if you get it.

I'm thinking about a Stanwell as well; a Featherweight. I want to see if I can hang it in my jaw without pulling out teeth.

Just to keep this thread on topic, I just smoked some H&H in a DrG. Not bad.

I've decided to be a good boy and just buy tobacco this month. After all, the first thing we learned in Evil Genius school was to stick to your master plan. And since my master plan involves building up enough of a stash to last until I'm 150, then when tobacco taxes push the price of tins to $500, trading tins for Dunhills, I obviously should be buying more tobacco not pipes!

Interlude for me tonight; you know this stuff is a lot better after going through a tin of HOTW than it was before. Guess I'm warming to red Virginias...
