Bummer
Got home from work early today, took a few hours off for my birthday today. So I get home and decide to fire up something special to celebrate.
Pull out an old tin of Cope's Escudo from the 1970's, a 100 gram tin. Pop the tin, no vacuum. Uh-oh, bad sign. Open the tin, and it's bone dry! Man, I am bummed. So I reach for another rare tin, John Cotton's #1 Mild. Now this stuff is really rare, much harder to find than Cotton's #2 Medium. Fill up a Bang Pot, fire it up, and...........it's "ok". What a let down. Good smoke, nice light chocolate flavor, but I definitely did not get a woody over this blend. So I finish that off, and decide to go to a regular favorite, Scottish Three Nuns. I pull out a special pipe that has remained unsmoked in my collection, a Balleby "00" Grade bent Rhodesian. Absolute beauty! I fill that up half way and fire it up...................it's just "ok" again! The Three Nuns didn't shine probably as a result of breaking in a new bowl. Sometimes I think I should just go back to smoking my $hitty old cigars! Last edited by Bruce; 04-09-2008 at 06:02 PM.. |

Re: Bummer
if at first you don't succeed, Bruce...
I think you may be able to use persistence to your benefit. Have a great Birthday, Sir.
