McClelland No 5110 Dark English in my Pete red spigot XL23

I have now started on a path that will likely end.....well, when the money's all gone. A coral bulldog 5X

Frog Morton's Cellar in a Tinsky bulldog

I cannot smoke in the house, even in the unfinished section of the basement, so I am outdoors. The winter was long and this spring has been cold, but there has been a dry spell that has allowed me to enjoy the patio with my pipe, watching the fire

Last night it was Frog Morton on the Bayou n my Pete System 314

I have used matches, Zippo and even those long butane stix - but I have upgraded to an Old Boy and I am pleased. The crap spring we have been having has meant cold and wind - but the flame on the Old Boy still comes alive and gets down into the bowl without an issue. It was more than I...

No, I am a cigar / pipe smoker only and even those arent quite as frequent as I would like. When I fire up a stogie, I use the butane torch and it works like a champ. For the pipe, I tried using the Zippo and when it is full I like it - but if it sits for 2 - 3 days the fuel evaporates. I...
