I too am quite fond of the pipe. Scotch is never in short supply around my house either, but I try to keep that to a minimum. Beer, especially vitamin-G, another story alrogether. Tobacco, well it depends on my mood. I lean toward the aromatics as they're less offensive to others. I have a few strong English tobaccos, and of those, probably Dunhill 965 is my favorite. I like North Sea from the Tinder Box, Chimney Smoke from the Gatlin-Burlier, and Blue Note. Peterson's are my favorite pipes, and of my Peterson collection, the tops is probably my Mark Twain I picked up many years ago.
