Desert Island Smokes...

Blend would be Pembroke (or if I get to pick a cellar it would be Ken's aka pipetongue1 Shocked

).

Pipe would probably be my Mike Brissett Poker with interchangeable stems (churchwarden or normal size).

I highly recommend Scott Bundy at www.piperestore.com for all of your pipe cleaning and restoration work.

I think if I was being put off a ship and could only take one pipe and one tobacco I would have to choose my Viprati which will smoke anything I put in it without hesitation, and some Virginia Woods. I'm a big fan of latakia, but I don't know how long I could smoke it on a hot deserted island.

As some of the others have hinted at, though, I think we should take up a collection and send TJ on a cruise. We, the faithful, shall patiently await his return in the immediate vicinity of his cellar. We will allow him to take one pipe and one tobacco...just in case. Cool

BTW, TJ, how did you become king

of Huggie's board? Or his he farao

Dunhill Shell group six straight billiard tapered stem and Robusto.

Of course, I would send wise guys out on raids to neighboring islands to "trade."

Would have to be my ruby red smooth Peterson Dublin packed repeatedly with Pirate Kake pirat

or Star of the East Like a Star @ heaven

. I am assuming it is a chilly Desert Island, as I don't particularly enjoy smoking anything when the weather is too warm Neutral

My choice of tobacco would be either SG's Best Brown Flake or McClelland's 5100.

Both are satisfying without being satiating. Great taste... less filling. They also perform well no matter what mood my palate is in.

The pipe would be my 3/4 bent Calabash shaped meerschaum.
I wouldn't have to be concerned about resting this pipe, and it smokes dry enough that I wouldn't have to run over to the grass shack emporium on the far end of the island only to find out that they are out of pipe cleaners.
