Hey Pipe Smokers

Im from Norway.

Been smoking pipes for a few years now.

Well ive been smoking a pipe every easter for many years, i guess because my grand father smoked a pipe back in the days..
I used to crack open sigarets and put it in my pipe and smoke it as a easter tradition.. A pipe stamped made in china..
A few years ago i broke the tennon off, and i trew it away ind figured id make my own pipe.

I did so and it was a crap pipe..

So i searched alittle bit about pipes on the internet and realized that i havent ever realy tryed pipe smoking.

You can read a whole day just about how to pack a pipe, i just jammed the tobacco in and lit it a hundred times..

And hundreds of types of pipe tobaccos..

So i got me some briar and olive wood and made a decent pipe and bought som real pipe tobacco.. capstan i think was my first.. And since then i have been smoking pipes about every day.

Found out that one pipe wasnt enough, also foynd out that people actualy bought used pipes.. newer would have tought that was a thing..

Since the prices on estate pipes were almost free compared to the new pipes i bought a few estate pipes i fixed, and some cheap ebony pipes.

Now i have a decent rotation of pipes and big problem with the pipe tobacco being insanly expensive in Norway..

Thank you all!
this seems like a great forum. lots of good info and helpfull people here..

Posted a pic of the pipe i made in my album if you want to see. I call it the Mosquito cause its a short nosewarmer that keeps the mosquitos away from my face when im in the woods.
