If you could only have 3 pipes, how would you dedicate them?

[td2copter]

So, lets imagine a cruel cruel world where the pipe gods only allowed each individual to have 3 pipes, yet you still have the full on massive variety of tobacco to enjoy that we have today.

How would you dedicate each pipe?

For me, it seems that I'm enjoying just about everything I try and can't really narrow down which genre or type of tobacco that that I like best.

I think I would have to go with one for AROMATICS, one for anything with LATAKIA, and one for VIRGINIA'S/VAPERS.

Curious to see how you fine fellows would dedicate your pipes. If you feel like it, list the make of pipe to go with each one.

Thanks for playing.

Just as long as the gods weren't looking, I could get away with a pipe for Lat, one for mild VAs and one for strong/fired VAs. How I would cheat would be to blaspheme by tossing in some good Burley once in a while in the pipe dedicated for mild VAs without too much ado. 8)

Pipe 1 - Escudo/Flake Medallions

Pipe 2 - Long Golden Flake/Jack Knife Plug

Pipe 3 - Barbary Coast

That pretty much makes up most of my smoking these days so I have five pipes, one each dedicated to the above blends. I have more than five pipes but only smoke the others when I feel the need for something different. I think I could get away with three though if I did it in that configuration and wouldn't have a noticeable crossover.

So, I take it the Aro's aren't in your rotation much? Lets just say you had a real hankering for some sweet Aro, which pipe would it go in?

Wow, jhuggett you took it up to a whole other level by listing the actual blend! Your a man that knows what you like, even in this hypothetically cruel world. Nice!

1) Embarcadero

2) FVF

3) Other (for an English like Blackpoint every once in a blue moon)

I don't usually have urges for sweet aromatics... truth to tell, the nutty sweetness of a good Burley or a Virginia is plenty for me!

 

[szyzk]

1 for full-bore Lat blends, 1 for Va/Lat blends, 1 for straight Vas and VaPers.

Tough call. Think I'd have to go with one for virginia/perique, one for virginias with no perique and one for burleys. Cant quite narrow it down to three pipe choices though. Maybe if i had 5 pipe choices. Or maybe 7. Lol.

 

[Cigar2you]

1 for VAs
1 for VAPERs
1 for English

 

[s.ireland]

Two for Virginias and one for VA/Pers. :lol:

:cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Except for me it would be:

1. VApers
2. Best Brown Flake
3. More VApers

Not at all, I love Conniston Plug, but in playing along with the three only theme, I stand by my choices. Of course next month they would probably be different :lol:

 

[cakeanddottle]

two for Lat blends and one to split duty between Burleys and Va's

 

[DustyRoundup]

1) 1 for straight Virginia's
2) 1 for Va-pers
3) 1 for Boswells Pipers Pleasure (Aro)

But, Latakias are growing on me, and might take over the #3 spot soon.
