Yeah, I'm gonna pick up a cheap corn-cob as my spare I think. Down the road, I'd like to get a nice dark (but not black) wood-grain similar to the black one I picked up. I like that size.

Pipes need at least 24 hours of rest to allow it to dry out and the cake to harden a little bit. If you don't allow a pipe to rest, it will become 'sour' faster than normal and you will have to do a deep cleaning often resulting in including a process called "The Professor's Pipe Sweetening Treatment" which involves alcohol and salt or cotton balls.

Since you've mentioned it, i've been doing some reading on the Professor's Pipe Treatment stuff. I really do think I need this for my pipe.
And while doing research, i found this link: http://www.pipes.org/Articles/PipeSweet.html It's very helpful!  And it will forever hold a spot in my bookmarks. |

Pipes.org does have a lot of good info. If your pipe is sour or bitter, try cleaning it with that method. I would suggest replacing the salt with cotton balls though, just my opinion.

Started my day off with some EMP.
Given the non-stop rain, I suspect I'll be smoking more then a few bowls over the next day or so. Life is so rough....  |

Last night was a very rare bowl of Balkan Sobranie.
It was an AWESOME smoke! It is out out production and hasn't been made for a long time. There was a tin of it in a box pass I was in for everybody to sample some of it. I only took enough for 2 bowls. I have one more left. Today so far has been some Sundowner.

Today was a couple bowls of MB Vanilla Cream !
I used to smoke Balkan Sobranie Ciggaretts, haven't been able to get these for years, don't know if it is the same, but an awesome cig., expensive as hell, but, good.

I let the wife choose my tobacco this evening from the sampler I recieved - enjoyed my first bowl of Atladis' Blue Note.
This is my first blend with Burley in it and right now I think I may be interested in exploring Burley blends. Smoked in the garage so I was able to detect a sweet smelling room note almost chocolate like. The flavor was difficult to detect in this blend but that may a result of the cake I've got built up in the pipe. I'm looking forward to a few more bowls of this. |

Last night on the ride home was Sundowner.
Today on the ride in was Captain's Delight. Jax, the Blue Note sounds interesting. I can't wait to get my sampler!
