greenman 221 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 My best mates dad has always smoked a pipe. He's got advanced MS and has no movement except a little in his head, one of my most important jobs when I worked on their farm was filling and lighting his pipes! Never smoked one myself but love the smell of good baccy and there's an art to loading it to get a good draw, if I got it wrong he soon let me know! Whenever I see him now for a catch up I'm always expected to put a pipe between his teeth and light it! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huan72 687 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Keeping a pipe alight depends on how well you pack the baccy in, too tight because you've crammed too much in and its like sucking footballs through a straw and too loose it just doesn't burn right. It comes with practice Also different baccy's burn differently, some hold more moisture than others, its all a bit of an art form The pipe needs cleaning too, when I used to smoke a pipe, I couldn't get on with the metal stemmed falcon jobs, my very favourite was the simplest, a normal straight stemmed briar pipe 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wullz 408 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 My old boy used to smoke them, thick black bogey roll he smoked, looked like a black turd.....he had a wee kit bag with his knife, tamper and lighter, plus the baccy.....used to cut and hand roll it.... Tell you what tho, we used to sit down the Avon when I was a nipper, he smoked his pipe and I fished.....kept the midges off you! Big billowing clouds of reek....I only appreciated it years later!!

PoshPikey 560 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 is it true that the tar pools in the bottom of the pipe and every now and again you take a drag and get a mouth of liquid tar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
