SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve

I do prepare my tobacco’s ahead of time and let air dry. I do know a few pipe smokers that prepare pipes the night before, for an early morning smoke with coffee. I see no reason why not. Give it a try with a few of your favorite tobacco’s, see what works best for you. Some pipe smokers will smoke half a bowl and finish the rest the next day. I can not do it, I tried and find the tobacco a bit ashy tasting for my liking. Every pipe smoker has their own way of enjoying the hobby👍👍👍

If driving, I'll preload Cobs for the trip. A lot more convenient (and safer too).

I do the same thing. I'll load up enough for the trip so I just have to grab one an light it up as the urge strikes.

Hardware stores have assorted corks that you can trim for depth to cap off prepared bowls for travel.

Fill the night before and cap off for travel in the morning.

I typically dailyload my pipes as I smoke them though... If I am catching a flight, I use the method posted above while waiting for a flight.

I have not as of yet prefilled a bowl. I don't really have a need to since I don't smoke in my car.

Can someone tell me the difference between Plum Pudding regular and special reserve?

WOW Thanks for the tip...I just got finished ordering the regular and didn't know about it. I am going to call P&C tomorrow and get the SR instead.

Hope I can get that lucky.

I had my issues with P&C, but I have no choice in that matter - Anniversary Kake and Ten to Midnight are not available anywhere else :-)

I’m less then 150 miles away from Smokingpipes, they ship Priority Mail. One time I placed my order very early on a Tuesday morning, by late Wednesday afternoon the package was at my front door waiting for my signature. I’ve had issues with serious mold in C&D tinned blends, which was rectified over the phone, replaced immediately. They were aware of the issue from many other customers. I was told to discard the bad tobacco’s and new will be on its way by the end of business day, which it was always. If you purchase an Estate pipe from them, once it arrives it looks better then what was pictured. That’s one online pipe & tobacco retailer I highly recommend 👌👍👍

Did anyone mention mold in any SPC tins? I’ve had mold in C&D and GLP tins, both canned at the same place. I’ve never had any mold in SPC tobacco’s 👍👍

I’ve smoked both SPC blends, but I must admit I much prefer the overall taste and aroma of Plum Pudding Reserve. It’s worth the extra money 👍

Yes. Very often. Works for me.
