I was just thinking about Soulpup the other day. Never got to know him other than through the boards, he was a voice of reason through kind PMs when my noobness threatened to get the best of me a couple times. We lost a good one.

Rest in peace brother, and prayers for your family. Way too soon.

Seeing as the last thread says 2013, we need a current one! Smoking some Esoterica Dunbar in a birth year ('82) Dunhill Root Briar slightly bent pot. My favorite VA/Per blend, it has a meaty quality that I don't find in other blends.

Nubbing a fresh @Johnny-O! short while finishing some work. Damn fine cigar!

Nice pickup on the Pete! Got pulled away from my pipe last night, so I'm finishing the second half tonight. Love that about pipes!

GL Pease Sixpense in an Abe Herbaufh strawberry wood. Sipping slowly to break her in. Great tobacco, the dark fired Kentucky gives it a kick!

Been smoking through a box of '64 Maduro Coronas, stellar in every way. I used to go for the '26 Principes.

Johnny O short, first one in a long time. Hitting all the right notes!

Lanceros with a few years on them have been the best Cohibas I've had. Close behind are the Sig II, IV, III, and the rare CoRo when it's bursting with sweet vanilla.

First cigar in a while, and it's going well ;)

Box of QdO Coronas. Working on getting restocked.

Hey CP, been a while. Monte 3. Ugly fugger but tastes a treat.

Oh man, I've missed you guys.

Cigars for four years, and now almost exclusively pipes since last June. Really enjoy the different tobaccos and like that the smell doesn't linger. My wife will sit out with me while I have a pipe (right now, actually), which is a plus. I like the whole ritual of packing and smoking a pipe...

Nice pickup!

Happy IPSD to you as well!  I think I'll dig deep in the cellar when I get home from work.  Not sure what will jump out at me just yet ;)

First cigar in about 6 months, Cohiba Siglo III. Been piping for a while, but had a craving and picked up a box. Excellent smoke, I'm back in the saddle.

Some Stonehaven in a Castello "Castello" 3K.

Last night, I had a bowl of Capstan blue in a Ferndown I had just finished cleaning up.  Such a sweet pipe!  Amazing smoker.  

  I was the same way when I started a few months ago.  I'd buy a few tins to find out what I liked.  Even the stuff I didn't like, after a couple of months I would try it again and end up loving it.  A few of my favorites from the different blends are:   Virginia/Perique:  Escudo, Dunhill...
