new pipe/smoker
 

I recently got pipe tobacco in the Secret Santa thing and just today I went out to the b&m and bought me a new pipe to smoke it. Just thought I drop by. I'll be checkin here more often now =)

Enjoy that pipe!

Fill it carefully taking care not to restrict airflow more than the slightest amount to avoid problems.

All details spelled out here: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...d1b87db15204e0 Section 2.5 is most important to a proper fill, even light and a relatively carefree smoking experience.

Let me know what you think of the Luray Tavern.

I've never smoked a pipe, but sitting in the Old Virginia lounge smoking a cigar with the regulars there last week i was really digging the aroma of the pipe tobaccos. I think I may give it a go one of these days. Thanks.

Welcome to the Pipe side! :pi

Re: new pipe/smoker
 

That is a beautiful pipe. At my B&M I was one of the very few regulars to smoke a pipe in there a couple of years ago, now all the regulars are pipers and we now have a pipe club that meets a couple of times a week.

Welcome to the cliff.

Re: new pipe/smoker
 

You'll have to post what you think of it so far, Wu...I just started last week and so far it's interesting, frustrating, enjoyable, annoying, fun, and uses a lot of matches :D

I figure a couple of more weeks and I'll decide what I really think!

Re: new pipe/smoker
 

I went through a box and a half on my first bowl :D

Re: new pipe/smoker
 

The first time using a pipe can be like riding a bike, a lot of errors happen before you get it right.

Re: new pipe/smoker
 

HAHA Mert..my thoughts exactly!

Re: new pipe/smoker
 

I'm noticing a lot of the poker players are smoking pipes as well. :hm


:pi :D

Re: new pipe/smoker
 

shiet I haven't smoked my pipe in ages...I guess I'll bust it out this evening
