What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

The pipes I've been smoking recently are my two Missouri Meerschaums and Captain Black. I can only smoke outside or in my smithy, and it's too cold to sit outside and enjoy one of my briars or calabashes and a nice tobacco. The cobs I'm not worried about banging up. I had an old briar I used as a workshop pipe, but it fell out of my pocket and is now under several feet of snow...somewhere. My cobs are the "Mizzou", the small bent, and the "Eaton", the straight version. I took the short bit out of the Eaton and put on a regular one, which gives it a rather long stem.

Took my bent briar out into the garage last night for another break in session. Colder than crud out there and slowly getting the hang of keeping it tamped right and lit.

I love my Missouri Meerschaums, really nice pipe and I only paid like 4 bucks for it

Meerschaums are decent pipes even though they are reasonably priced. You need to get a MacArthur meerschaum next. :p

You'll get the hang of it, but it will still go out. You will have to re-light, that's just pipe smoking. One of the joys of the ritual.

BTW, I'm at the ranch smoking something...let's see...Illusione CG4. And a cold Shiner.

I am glad you didn't stop at smoking something. :p

Yes, a pipe going out just happens. There used to be pipe smoking contests in the old days. I have heard of an oldster who kept a pipe going for an hour without it going out once. :eeek: He won. :p

Ramon Allones Superiores. The smoke shop I most frequent at night is closing down end of this month, so it was time to pack up and move.
