Brunello Flake in my RNA Treasures car pipe for the drive home today.
I don't know how you do it, Chris. I don't smoke a pipe while driving. Too many tasks involved, tamping and relights etc. Plus, I'd try to remove the ash on top of the tobacco and be playing with the pipe tool and I'd have chunks of fire and ash scattered from hell to breakfast.
You seem to manage it well, but I'm just not that talented.
I can't dance, either, although that may have something to do with arthritis and the fact that I'm literally held together with glue, sutures and baling wire.
Carry on.

I gave up smoking pipes in the car the second time I turned my head to the left, smashed the pipe into the window, nearly broke a tooth, scattered embers on the seat, all at 60 mph on the highway.

They'll never see pipe tobacco again.

Leftovers from the PocketJar, I think it's KBV Tavern Bar, in my Norm Triptow pipe with coffee in the warm morning sun. Smoking pipe tobacco blind seems to be a good way to reevaluate a blend.

It's a bit tricky to coax the sweetness out of, but it's a good blend. I'm on my last flake of the tin which is double the normal thickness so I'm resorting to cube cutting and rubbing it out a bit where I normally fold, twist, and stuff the flake in the pipe.

Tricky as in slow puffs or sips?
I feel like there is a dirty joke in that question that someone will find. 😈
Proper prep, either dry it a bit and fold and stuff or rub it out and try it a bit, make sure it's really well lit from the start, then slow puffs and sips. I find that holding my thumb over the pipe opening or a tamper over the tobacco helps to keep the tobacco smoldering without going out.
You need to find what works for you, some folks don't dry out their tobacco and find it smokes fine, others like to dry it first so that it burns better and doesn't generate steam which can lead to tongue bite.

Finishing off my car pipe in the garage, 50/50 blend of a very dry broken flake of Brunello Flake and a pretty damp 1792 flake with some home-roasted Mexico Huatusco Mango Infusion coffee from my travel brew mug. Combining the wet and dry tobacco together resulted in a pretty good burn with just a few relights and it was flavortown with the coffee and the tobaccos today. The coffee was juicy with a tropical fruit flavor in the back.

Nice pipe.
Thank you Edward. Got it from a guy in Hong Kong that has an Etsy shop

Looking back, it might be KBV Tavern Bar Plug. It was good.

This is a great pipe, doesn't need to have the ash dumped, rarely needs relights, an easy smoker. It helps if the tobacco is on the dry side.
The photos are taken while parked and I prep my pipe in the parking lot before leaving.

Tin arrived open and dried. Been resuscitating it for a few days. Definitely needs more hydrating.
