First very successful bowl
I picked up my first pipe in July. I have taken it slow and have only purchased 3 pipes and about 12 tins, and 10 -12 couple oz samples from a few local B & Ms. Probably have smoked less than 50 bowls.
Tonight, before leaving work, I packed my Savinelli Duca Carlo with MacBaren's Virginia No. 1. Went outside, fire, tamp, fire, tamp, fire, and tamp. Get in the car and start the commute home, tamp, drive, tamp, drive...... 45 miles later, I am sitting in the parking lot at JR's. I did not have to re-light . Usually there are at least 5 relights for the trip home. To celebrate, I picked up a tin of McClelland's Christmas Cheer 2005 and Anniversary. I hope these are good! Relight and finished the bowl during the last 20 minutes of my drive.
