Enjoying a Kaywoodie pipe tonight some tobacco I have packed away but neglected to keep the name. Winter is a great time of year to make the switch. The room is colder and the pipes are a quicker smoke with less of that pungent after smell that cigar smoke is well known to emit the next day. The pipe tobacco has also aged an extra year allowing it to mellow out even more so I can’t wait to taste and enjoy

Needs some maintenance and smells as if it really needs a cleaning – probably been sitting in someone’s basement for far too long. I’m going to give this pipe a good cleaning, alcohol bath and polish and see how it comes out.

Also pipe smoking preys on my collecting aka hoarding nature. I can collect multiple pipes, styles, vintage, etc. Of…
