Been having a discussion about inhaling tobacco while smoking a pipe. I maintain that if you exhale through the nose, then you are inhaling,and it is best not to. I'd like opinions please.

Now,if I could remember how to put a picture here, I would show you one I have made. Still thinking :)

I have discovered on ebay where I can get the long sems and have made a churchwarden from mulberry wood and have another stem to make my next churchwarden.

I don't like the rubber protectors,so I cut a short length from plastic tubing, and by popping it into hot water for a few seconds you can stretch it over most pipe stems. I have these on all my pipes and they make it easier to clench and protect the stem.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has come up with any herbal mixes to smoke. I did try going on another pipe forum, but they objected to me saying anything about herbal mixtures. So I won't be going back to that site again. I believe pipe smokers should be free to smoke whatever they...

The bent Dublin for me too. Also like that first pipe, nice shape.

I smoke several herbal mixtures for a change Tim. Barmora I smoke the most. Also, Greengo, which is meant for rolling cigarettes, so I mix it with others herbs or tobacco. Honeyblend and Honeyrose.
