I've only been smoking the pipe for a couple of years now, but for me it's not so much the time of year as the temperature outside as that is where I do all of my smoking. When I was in school down in California I was comfortable pretty much all year so long as the wind wasn't blowing like...

I usually just have a cup of tea. I actually don't like coffee, but I think if I did I would drink that as well.

Had some MacBaren Mixture Flake earlier today.

That was funny. I approve. Thanks for sharing.

I would love to get my hands on some of those. They are really neat.

Has anyone seen the pipes made of Yak horn on ebay? I keep thinking that is an interesting idea and wonder what other people think.

What?! You didn't like the cheesy song "Where there's a whip, there's a way?" Or "Frodo of the nine fingers"? How sad.

Well guys, I didn't get it. But to whoever has it, a pretty pipe indeed.
