Yard work Smoke?

Wanted to know what everybody's favorite blends are while you are doing yard work or such mindless chores and don't have time to really concentrate on what you are smoking? What is your kick around smoke? I like to puff on a bowl full of simple Burley such as Sugar Barrel or McClelland's Kentucky Cavendish. How bout you all?

Have numerous jars of English/Balkan/Oriental mixtures for the "yard pipes!!" FTRPLT

For yard work I enjoy Sir Walter, Carter Hall or Kentucky Club Mild when it's not too windy. If the wind is pretty stiff, I'll pack in some Stokkebye Cube Cut Burley.

I like Edgeworth RR for yard business. Rubbed/cube cut burley just loves the outdoors. (Don't know what I'll replace it with when I run out.)

Stokkebye Cube Cut Burley works for me, nice long even burn and it doesn't get unmanageable in windy conditions.

Usually my outdoor activity tends more toward fishing or walking in the woods and less toward "working" (like Maynard G Krebbs, that word scares me). Gatlin Burley or Frog Morton in a full bent anything or a bulldog satisfies my itch.

Prince Albert is my yard work, golf course, and fishing smoke. When I plan ahead I'll fill the pipe of the day with Samuel Gawirth Commonwealth and start the acctivity with that. Refills come from my handy pouch of PA. If I REALLY plan ahead the pouch pocket will have a second prepacked pipe with Commonwealth or Walnut to start the back nine or second hour of fishing.

Not much yard work in Manhattan, where my salient outdoor activity that I care to discuss is biking.

I love to ride to Central Park, squat atop a rock, light up and watch the passing parade. And boy does it parade.

Or spin to Riverside Park, or the Battery Park extension, plunk down on a bench and puff, while taking in the glistening water of the beautiful Hudson river, across glamorous downtown Paramus, New Jersey, where the élite just don't meet to eat.

You don't need a book (you might need a shot of gamma-globulin) in a NYC park. A mild-smelling mixture won't do, either. Give' em something with Latakia that will really arouse 'em so they threaten to call the cops!

I'm tempted to say Prince Albert is my go-to blend for yard work, and it is much of the time. But really, whatever I've got open at the time is what I'll fill the pipe with.

Sometimes the Prince, sometimes Middletons Apple, either in an old cob or an old Dr. Grabow pipe.

Another vote for Prince Albert, usually in a cob if I'm doing something that risks damage to the pipe. A reasonable cigar is also an option.
