    I Invented a New Style of Pipe...

    Yeah, I can see that!

    Greetings from sunny South Wales (UK)

    Welcome from Uganda... I spent a lovely year in Aberystwyth in 1999-2000. Have an extra bowl of cawl on St Dai's Day for me.

    Do You Associate Pipe Smoking with a Sense of Spirituality?

    "...Tobacco holds sway over the soul as much as it does the body. The qualities it takes in its various forms make it a near irresistible complement to the particular desire dominant in an individual’s soul. How we react to these forms says as much about our attitude toward those desires as it...

    Do You Associate Pipe Smoking with a Sense of Spirituality?

    Absolutely. Regardless of your religious beliefs, most people in this forum would recognize that pipe-smoking done properly is not simply a technical activity, or a chemical one. If it were, one might as well raise and lower a pipe to their mouth like an automaton and pop a nicotine pill...

    I Invented a New Style of Pipe...

    Sadly, due to elevation, it's only mango trees. We never get mangoes from them. 😒

    I Invented a New Style of Pipe...

    😁 All my smoking happens on my balcony overlooking the mango trees and Lake Victoria. I live in Uganda.

    I Invented a New Style of Pipe...

    Indeed! Check this one out: The "Tommyhawk"

    I Invented a New Style of Pipe...

    I agree. I'd like to see that -- that could be really cool. I would also contend that most innovations are not entirely new concepts, but the combination of existing ideas in creative ways.

    I Invented a New Style of Pipe...

    ... well, maybe I'm taking more credit than I deserve with that claim. I found a Kiko Caveman with no stem, cleaned more carbon out of it than a 40 year old toaster, and then took an old churchwarden stem that I had from an East-European pipe which I re-bored it and boiled until I could get...

    The End of Kendal Flake?

    Enough for one last smoke. The sad thing was, I'd only just discovered it in one of the random one ounce purchases you add on while getting something else.

    The End of Kendal Flake?

    I'm talking about the basic Gawith and Hoggarth Kendal Flake -- not the Chocolate or any of the Creams... It's gone. "No longer in production" says tobaccoreviews. "Out of stock" say SP, TP, and Cup'O'Joes. When did this happen? Was there a death notice? Did anyone write an obituary? Sign...

    Sick from Smoking??

    Sure. I have good friend in his 50's -- healthy chap who used to smoke fine, but tried to start up again recently and found that a pipe gives him fatigue -- almost like a cold. His description of waking up the next day feeling poorly was what sounded similar to your case. Last puff ailments...

    Sick from Smoking??

    Two thoughts: 1 - I have seen this before in a gentleman who experienced the same symptoms as you. Our bodies are unique, it may simply be that your body does not like it. In which case... sorry. 2 - You seem to have this suspicion, "I swear I thought this might be inhaling something burnt...

    How Many Pipe Smokers are There?

    Wait... pipe-smoking is a vice? How did I miss that memo?!

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2024?***

    I just restored this old Kiko / Kilimanjaro. Goes great with Old Dublin!
