Learned Something New
I found this cute little pipe shop today, just down the street from the church. It's a good five minute walk, enough to get the blood flowing. :)I learned some new things today:
1. I was scraping out the bowls of my pipes too much. I need to leave a little carbon in the pipe.
2. Flake is a rough tobacco that is all compressed together, and one needs to rub it between your fingers first before stuffing the bowl. It's advantage is that it's a cooler, slower burning tobacco... so one pipe lasts longer.
So I bought a little tin of the stuff. It's called Caledonian Virginia Flake, and it's by A & C Peterson in Denmark. So far, I think I really prefer it!
I'll be back to this store again. It was neat.
