    What got you started on pipes?

    Just fancied giving it a try in 1974 (about 17) - ain't looked back since ....

    Turning on the light for late night whizzing may cause cancer...

    Whiskey needs no sleep - therefore no issue! (Sez he as he stumbles out of bed - crunches toe in bedpost - pisses on cat and wakes up household so all can enjoy!)

    Any advice

    Petersons Irish Flake is fabulous stuff - I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Fair old nicoteen hit!!

    Favorite pastime while pipe smoking.

    Illegal to smoke sitting on a boulder up a bloody great hill? Boy - you guys have it tough!! It's usually a discarded ciggie that burns a place down but there ain't too much positive descrimination in favour of us careful and responsible pipe smokers I guess! Favorite things to do while smokin'...

    Savinelli Pipes

    I have a Savinelli 305 (Roma). Love it - it's best features are the thick walls (so it smokes very cool) and wide, curved brim which slopes nicely into the bowl. The air flow over the bowl keeps it lit superpbly outdoors (my favorite pipe for taking the dog for a walk!). Second only to some of...

    Savinelli Pipes

    I have a Savinelli 305 (Roma) Love it - it's best features are thick walls so smokes cool. Very rounded brim that curves nicely into the bowl and the air flow over it keeps it lit really well outdoors. Rusticated finish, flattened diamond shank and pale, translucent golden stem. It comes with a...

    Cake Soap & Brush, Aerosol Can, or Lecktric Shave

    I remember the thwacketty thwap sound of my dad sharpening his straight razor on a leather strop every morning. Badger hair shaving brushes and soap cake - he was always immaculate. Me - I don't see the sense of scraping your face with a bit of wet metal in the morning and stubble just irritates...

    I love my wife!

    haha - my wife would be more likely to hide me pipes than buy me one - but I love her anyway ( wed 23 years - think it might last!! )

    Churchwarden's opinions

    I enjoy my Peterson church warden on an occasional basis - the bowl gets a little hot as it is fairly thin walled but the smoke is cool - I don't smoke it all that often and never unless I'v got a few long pipe cleaners knockin' about or it tastes a bit iffy the next time I use it!

    Peterson Irish Flake - Pipe Tobacco Review

    It's a regular for me - love the stuff to bits!
  13. whiskeymick

    Pipe Filter Or No Pipe Filter .That, is The Question.

    Never use 'em Mick - My new salvineli came with a strip of triangular balsa wood filters - went straight in the bin! (the filters that is - not the pipe!) :-)

    mac baren

    Hello Paulo. The only Mac Baren tobacco i've tried is Virginia Flake. Not wildly impressed. I will try a few others before I pass judgement! Many people seem to think that Mac Baren tobaccos tend to bite. In fairness, I can't offer an opinion based on just one of thier products except to say...

    Nasal Snuff

    haha - just can't imagine Mick J or Kieth R smoking a pipe - but powders up the nose? Well maybe!!

    Nasal Snuff

    Thanks Mick. I don't remember a winter like this one since '62 when I was only 5 years old and '80/'81 when I was hauling livestock around in a Seddon Atkinson cattle truck. I don't mind it too much - I'm fine with driving on the white stuff and the parks in London look magnificent! Hope it...

    Nasal Snuff

    It's snowing blankets here in London today - work is shut - I'm gonna light a bowl of Irish Flake and head for Hampstead Heath with my wee doggy to slip and slide about for an hour or two. Can't imagine life without my pipes!! Today I'll leave the snuff at home!

    Nasal Snuff

    haha Phil! Ozona Rasberry is like sticking your nose in your Aunty's knicker drawer!! Not one I would recommend for a first timer! Try Kendle Whiskey or anything that doesn't involve powerful mint or fruits! It takes some time to get used to them! The only fruit flavoured snuff I realy like is...
