In deference to my books i have my study and smoking place separately My study/brew store/ craft area etc - 2.5K books and counting (doesn't count my fiction! Another 6 shelves) Computer desk - now too crowded even for my laptop! One of the smallest book shelves - philosophy...

Weird Al is awesome - Ammish Paradise is also brilliant

Lord of the rings. :cheers: I love blowing smoke rings and dont want to be a nicotine addict. Pipe smoking gives me the chance to evaluate my home grown backy for quality while doing less dammage to my health. It is also relaxing and it gives me ANOTHER hobby where i can have a go at making...

Salumi: their other book is also an execellent read. I have a 1/2 hog on order for the new year so will have lots to play with!

You could also get a nice clay with a stem you can clench or hang

I like it too Kirk - i'm not a huge fan of the sandblasted look and the one on the original banner is just so in your damn face! Nice work mate - makes me :cry: that i lost photoshop with my last computer - haven't put anything on DA for a loooong time

Awesome! The blue one looks as if it is carved from lapis lasuli, but I too like the green ones best :cheers:

Hey Jeep - i just got my first every pipe today, and it is very similar to that there - a clay churchwarden just a bit shorter than yours i think. Where is the vent place on your bowl - mine is in the side wall at the bottom - smokes ok but not brilliantly (could also describe me I suppose!)

Very Nice! The ridging on the stem match the roughness of the briar perfectly

Mostly tried local artisan ones - prenzels here in NZ do a nice one. Mostly to compare to my own - legal to home distill in NZ for personal consumption. Look for something batch distilled - it will have propper cuts made on the distillation and then blended for taste. It will have less heads -...

Try a few; they can be both very good or very bad - just like any other spirit :pirat:

Fair enough - thought it was to obvious for someone else not to have done it!

any reason you couldn't just cut a cigar in 4-5 bits and smoke it in you pipe - should be easy to find one the right diameter - check the ring size ;)

Kyle, i seriously resemble this remark! :alien:

If your keen on making your own get a copy of "The art of Fermentation" by Sandor Ellix Katz. It's fascinating and rather brilliant. Fermented foods are meant to be brilliant for health (particularly that of the lungs!) and taste great - I figure they help cut the damage that the baccy will do...
