Pilgrimage to the Squire...

PappyJoe · January 2018

made a sneak pilgrimage to The Country Squire (home of Country Squire Radio) yesterday. Sat and had a bowl, meet Caleb and Andrew. Also met one of the new TPL members but can’t remember his user name. Took a selfie with Caleb.

Nice!! Looks like a good time for sure. You lucky dog.

It's such a shame, that I roll right past The Squire twice a week on I-20, but both times it is around midnight. It looks like I may need to sabotage my tractor in order to get by there during business hours, but I will need to find a way to do it that cannot be detected. Trucking companies are funny about stuff like that.

@xDutchx, it's not just trucking companies that monitor every move their employees make. Welcome to the world of technology where nothing is private, personal or without eyes or ears to monitor you.

@PappyJoe — Don’t you live pretty close to Jackson? I always assumed you were a Country Squire regular.

PappyJoe · January 2018

@jfreedy I live 30 miles east of New Orleans

xDutchx · January 2018

@jfreedy, Pappy likes to stay close to the action! LoL

PappyJoe · January 2018

@jfreedy I only pass through New Orleans to get to Metairie for our pipe club meeting.

@PappyJoe ive been hearing about you on CSR for months as ive caught up on the back log, your beard lives up to the hype

PappyJoe · January 2018

@TaylorJDutton - Thanks Taylor.

That is so awesome! I live in California and am thinking about making the pilgrimage for my birthday.

I'd love to go but it's a helluva drive. Can't go empty handed have to bring homebrew!!

PappyJoe, do you have the Country Squire blend you a special tobacco to your exacting standards? I watched one of their videos and they mentioned a latakia/aro being made for you. It sounded like "Senior Chief", but the words were mumbled.

PappyJoe · February 2018

@SteveNH. I have two blends. Senior Chief and Lighthouse Keeper. While they both have latakia, Senior Chief is the heavier of the two.
Senior Chief has yellow virginias, latakia, black cavendish, a nutty/maple burley and a little perique.
Lighthouse keeper is similar but has less latakia, more black cavendish and instead of a nutty/maple burley it has just a maple burley.

Anyone wanting to try them can just order them from Jon David.

SteveNH · February 2018

Thanks @PappyJoe, they sound wonderful. I like latakia and a mild aromatic blend - Bob's Chocolate Flake is my favorite. I may give these a try. I don't think they are on the website, so I'll give them a call.

It looks as if all but one of my pipes have sold from the squire.

mfresa · February 2018

@Corey562, get a bunch of new ones made and we can make a road trip to Mississippi, eh?

Corey562 · February 2018

Emailed me this morning said he was very pleased and wanted to know if I was interested in sending more. Said they sold well...

jfreedy · February 2018

@Corey562 -- that's excellent news! I can't wait to receive my new Abb Brown pipe!!

Kmhartle · February 2018

That's great @Corey562! If the new owners love theirs as much as I love mine, I'm sure you'll be filling more orders soon.
