    Smoking in the Wild...

    How Often Do You Smoke a Pipe?

    I'm a new comer to pipes from not smoking at all. I find it odd. Although I don't inhale, it's immediately addictive. I want to smoke all the time. Even though I can't be doing it right! Currently, it's walking Cooper the dog on Sundays. But I'm searching for other opportunities to do so. I...

    Hi I'm from Shropshire in the UK Completely new to pipes but loving it. Got a couple now. An estate Barling and a new Chacom. Trying out American aromatics and also trying to like Cornish blend. It's fun. Wife not liking though.
