What Are You Smoking February 2019
Well the subway line that takes me to work today is shut down, so I will stand-by at home with another cuppa and a Falcon filled with Ennerdale. I'll try and deal with the frustration... I hope my manager couldn't hear the smile on my face.
Rich’s Craven Claw in my new Radice Rind. Still learning shapes so not sure what this considered? Only my second smoke in this pipe and both have been nirvana

It is probably 12(ish) bowls a day. A better metric might be about a 12 oz tub every two weeks. In the late 70's and early 80's when I was a one-blend smoker, that was the rate for sure. I think that has been reasonably constant.OfPipeAndPen wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 10:41 amOut of curiousity - how many bowls would you say you get through in an average day? No judgement whatsoever... more like jealousy, honestly.
