Rake aboot 4,929 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Saw that on ebay last week, and was tempted. Sat out the front today with the Monte Christos from greengrass and they were superb .My mate was made up with the smoke, very pleasant. Dixie you`ll need to recommend me a few cool baccies bud. Something flake, or ribbon cut, lol,, something easy for me to start with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 my grandad smoked one & it used to stink .. he had loads of fancy bowls & chose to use a mankey old one ..he also used to burn the arm chair covers with the sparks off the pipe when he was getting it light ... my nan had antimacassars on the arm chair he sat on & used to make him put his pipe in an old cracker tin as he kept setting fire to his trousers .......... he would come to our house cussing about me nan .. bloody nagging me again he would say 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Themoocher 231 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I use to be a heavy smoker. I use to really enjoy a fag could still just smoke one now been stopped 3 year lol Was going smoke cigars or pipe once a week or when I'm stressed out.

dixiefried 269 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 The Zippo will end up burning your fingers more than lighting the Pipe get a pipe lighter, they direct the flame into the Bowl...,but don't tell the missus Go into Grahams on Rose St.. ask to sample the Aromatics,,The've got their own inhouse Whiskey Blend would prob suit you...and if you like a certain cigar ,get them to match up a blend for you.. That won't be your last pipe once you get going Different pipes ,Different smokes , you'll just keep adding .. Make sure you keep the bowl clean ,you'll need a Rimmer..plenty out east and some pipe cleaners for the stem..It's a science you know ! Look forward to jumpers and shirts full off wee holes for the first few weeks ,until you get the burn right ,srtting fire to your crouch etc,,,ENJOY !! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,929 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I will mate, thanks I`ve got the pipe insert for the zippo as well ! lol I`ve no doubt the aromatics will get tried,, my missus loves the smell so I`ll have to try them, but they will have there own pipe ! hahaha I see a collection on the horizon.

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Been looking at blades, found this pipe, too nice for baccy though http://www.perkinknives.com/custom-handmade-damascus-knife-tomahawk-axe-beautiful-walnut-hatchet-973-p.asp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,973 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Not sure if they'll ship the baccy outside the US but have a look at J.M. Boswell His pipes are true works of art and his aromatic baccy is the best I've tried. Especially the Raspberry Cream and Paradise blends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
