Well, I had to push back my 5:30 back to 6, but I made the meeting. And I am glad I did.
I packed up my Barbados, sat at the back stoop and had at it. A nice blend the DE Meat Pie is. Reminds me a little of Dunhills Early Morning Pipe with just a bit more red pepper.
Within ten minutes, almost unconsciously, I untied my shoes, sighed, and lost myself in the smoke.
After half an hour, I noted my bowl was empty. I was smoking slowly, but the tobacco never went out. I tamped it thrice.
When I put the pipe away I noted it was quite hot! I think I'll pack it tighter next time. Great smoke though.
