    The Poor Man's Pipe Rack

    I've been smoking for about a month and a half now and have acquired a couple of pipes. After deciding that pipes are not going to dry very well horizontally, I took a nostalgic trip back to primary school. This is the aftermath. I am proud of myself. :-)

    First Day, First Tongue Burn
