    I used to enjoy the occasional menthol cigarette while fishing, but I stopped that a while ago. Now I like my pipe with a nice black cavendish blend.

    I have a TFO and Cabela's Stowaway 7 piece with alignment marks. I've also noticed that the new Orvis Frequent Flyer 7 piece rods have them as well. (Suspiciously similar to the Stowaway)
