Also, a briar pipe should be rested for a week or so after a couple of bowls to let it dry out. Cobs are more forgiving. Though it should be mentioned that, back in the day, folks often had but a single pipe and smoked it all day, every day.
Experimenting on an inexpensive pipe is a good place to start with tuning up a pipe.
I usually end up resting my pipes a week or more before smoking them again only because I have a large rotation of pipes, but I think a day or two would be fine.

Not going to lie, i use my pipes almost daily, but i also tend to over dry my tobacco because it seems easier to pull and i like more smoke. Same could be said about my cigars, i tend to keep them at 62-65.
Well, maybe some new pipe bits, too. They're cheap and some of the ones I've got now are getting grungy past cleanability.
Nearly out of Balkan Sasenei...and Davidoff Danish Mixture...
Damn, AJ Brazil, they're calling them figurados, I'd say torpedo,
FULL SPEED AHEAD!
oh crap, all I needed was pipe cleaners.
What's wrong with me?
Too late.

Wasn't really looking, ahem, but with the uncertainty of Sutlliff's future, here we are. That was SP's last tin of Cringle Flake. My intent was to buy 5 of those. Once I learned I could only have one, well, I started looking further. No point in spending postage on just one when you could have free shipping. If you buy $100 worth.

Well…IYKYK…and I know most of you do. I received this generous package of ‘hard to find’ or ‘not made anymore’ delectable goodness. As with any unexpected gift, I appreciate the generous and kind intentions of the person more than the contents.

From Chris, @Hawks, a Christmas surprise! Lol, I can't stop laughing at that card! That's hilarious.
Thank you very much!

I've thought long about the Deception Pass. SPC's info indicates that this was a place where Joe Lankford liked to smoke and reflect on things, etc. While it's not at all bad tobacco, I wonder.
I read some reviews which varied greatly in their appreciation. It occurs to me that the "Deception" might be that it isn't a blend at all, but rather the tail ends of other blends mixed together and called a blend.
Just a thought. Perhaps they meant it as a "blend", but it reminds me of what I put into my carry pouches for motorcycle rides, the leftovers from blends that are almost gone.
How did you like it, Jeff?

First off, the physical place of Deception Pass is one of the most beautiful, pristine and breathtaking places in Washington state. One of my favorites. As far as the tobacco, I’ve tried it twice now, with two different tasting experiences. I will smoke again this weekend and get back to you.
Lol, I didn't doubt the existence of the Pass, sorry if I gave that impression, just the use of the name.
I went through Washington state with my family when I was young, about 12 years old. I have always meant to get back to it. It reminded me very much of where we'd been living in southern Alaska. I miss that part of the world sometimes.
If what I see on documentaries is realistic I'm afraid that returning will not live up to the memory. This happened to me with Cimarron and Raton pass. After having told my wife of the pristine wonders we headed there, about 25 years after my time there. Not the same experience at all. You can't go back to where you were then, because now is now.

Enjoy my friend.

@Amos_Umwhat You said 5 tins. Close enough. Quite welcome, my friend. I hope it helps keep you warm.

Oh I know you know. I was just sharing my experience and joy for the place.

I know I'm double posting the pipe but I like it and it's friends just arrived.
The photo doesn't do them justice at all. Spectacular work.
