So I just post it en ways a minute ago, I can't tell you Why but I can tell you I'm really enjoying this bowl of Bengal slices. I'm smoking it out of a cough I've had for years, don't know if it was the Reaming or the cleaning of the stem or quite honestly I just don't have any idea why this bowl taste so much better than all the other Bengal slices I've smoked out of this very pipe. I just know it does. Lately I may have been overlooking the little things. The wife has been trying to bring me back down and making me smell roses. God bless her stinking hippie soul.

Some of my best bowls have a lot to do with the frame of mind I am in at the time. I think nirvana smokes come from a combination of many things. Pipe, tobacco, mood, weather, friends, stress, and such. Enjoy them while they last!

I walked up to my pipe rack the other day and just stood there for a moment...searching for a feeling of "rightness". I picked up an Old Morris straight stemmed free hand I rarely smoke, then after another momentary pause, reached up on the top shelf and pulled down a tin of John Cotton's Smyrna. No reason. It just seemed right.
I enjoyed that smoke more than any bowl Ive had in a while...and I still dont know why.

Excellent words of wisdom...enjoy them whenever you get them...and don't be surprised they don't come more often...they just don't.

I find alcohol works the same way. Sometimes you get a buzz off your second 5% ABV nasty lager, and other times you can down a couple of 8% 40s and feel nothing.

It's another one of those times. I walked into our bedroom I'm sitting on my dresser was a Mark Twain with an Amber stem and some John Cotton number one. Never had John Cotton number one before but it seems appropriate

Yep, nirvana smokes are a combination of factors that occasionally converge for no apparent reason. This evening, after giving my lawn a first cut and getting the sprinkler system up and running, I’m having one of those convergent moments. John Cotton’s 1&2 in an older than I am Dunhill Shell Briar LB F/T. Grackles serenading me from their roost in our trees. Perfect weather. No worries at this particular moment.

I am not discounting Nirvana moments, however cleaning one's palate (Sometimes this takes longer than expected.) and pipes goes a long way.
