Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fa
I’m ready to step into the world of pipes, but I primarily smoke outdoors (wife’s decree ). Is this a problem or can pipes be smoked outdoors too?

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fa
"Phew" sort of. Let me add some elements of alarm. Unlike Frick and Frack stumbling on the beaches with their pipes and cognacs, I am an actual Old Fart who is here to pop your bubbles..
You can drop a cigar on the driveway and probably not miss a beat; drop a fine briar or meerschaum pipe outside and you might get sick. A pipe does require a certain amount of hardware in hand. Face it - most of us carry purses that we cleverly call manbags or camera cases. There are pouches of tobacco to consider (optional, once a pipe is filled and ready to go for a walk); a pipe tool/tamper; and the odd pipe cleaner in case you get to gurgling. And, of course, matches or a lighter. It is said new briar pipe should never be smoked where a breeze is present. A slight breeze across a bowl can damage the pipe until it is well broken in (i.e., has a carbon-cake developed inside the bowl). I wouldn't be worried about a cob or a meer in that respect.

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fa
How many flavor withdraws of SH 20Anny does it take to get to the bottom of a bowl, given that the bowl is 7/8" x 1.75" ?
Pray, I hope you can tell me... Last edited by Root; 01-08-2009 at 06:35 PM. |

I thought I'd see how much damage I could do here, instead.)

Anyways, some aromatic tobacco, and some non aromatic have a very good "room note" I think that is what its called anyway. Its when the 2nd hand smoke from the pipe actually smells pleasent. Some baccys that I smoke oddly enough I am allowed to smoke inside. When the Wife sees me inside with the pipe I always get the " That better not be that stinky smelling pipe ". |

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fa
Thanks for the replies. I smoke the majority of my cigars out back and was thinking about doing the same with a pipe.

Depending on who-knows-what any cob can last for weeks, months or years. If you get one and never actually smoke it, the pipe could last indefinitely.

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fa
In my experience they don't to a point. If you smoke something that has a distinct, strong taste or aroma, such as Gawith's 1792 flake, it will begin to ghost after a few pipefuls. However, it will go away faster in a cob than in a briar. Old Fart Out |

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fa
So, can we make an official list of contributing Old Farts. Old Fart as defined in post #1:
Terms of Service: to ask you have to have a serious question; to reply you must have a minimum two years pipe smoking experience. (No snob zone.) There are no stupid questions. Nobody can beat someone with a "Use the search funtion" lead pipe. There will be no rude replies no matter how many times your question has been asked - nosir, not in THIS thread. Maybe a little tiny bit of sarcasm though, just to keep it interesting. Mister Moo (Dan) Root Slow Triathlete Sr Mike DubInTheDam Neuromancer

Ahh never fear, think it through. It has latakia, 50+% gone right there. You can get it only 1 place + some shows, another big % down. Sells only in one big ass can, % down for fear of unknown in large amounts. Costs some bills compared to others, last % down to you, me and 5 other guys who know what's to know about it. And I must remark SH 20anny ain't for everybody cause it tastes like p00. I come to help. Burleys love Cobs. Cobs do ghost as any pipe that is porous, its just that some ghosts like Kasper are friendly while others don't play well with others. |
