A Guide for Getting the Best from Your Pipe Smoking Experience

I don’t think I have any pics of me smoking my pipes in the Navy or Sailing, but I do have pics on the Sailboat, I’ll post a few, just in case I need proof for my Salty Pipe Certification, I wouldn’t want to be accused of falsifying my Piping Sailorhood.
Ok, I didn’t want my Salty Pipe Certificate revoked on grounds of falsifying documents, so I quickly went through my photos, and found two of me, when I sailed the 6,000 nautical miles on my fathers sailboat, a 52ft. Irwin.
Oh @Ahi Ka you’ll always be thought of when I look at these pics, they were in NZ around 1986.
Me on the right with the green visor with my dad, catching lobster in New Zealand Bay of Islands.
Me washing the boat, in the same place of NZ.

I agree. Jesse's mustache alone has more smoking knowledge and history in it than most of us have had in our lungs.

You are so right, you are blessed! I asked my wife for a pipe one Christmas. She said "Sure honey, just pick it out and tell me which one to get!" I gave her a pic of a 6103 Bruyere with a gold band. Christmas eve I excitedly went to sleep after giving her 3 1/2 minutes of the best loving ever. Instead of getting a pipe, I woke up Christmas morning in the bathtub covered in ice with a kidney missing. When I stumbled down stairs, she said "Hey, I found a way to get you that expensive pipe you wanted! Bad news though, I owed more to my bookie than I thought."
you do know he was pressed into service right?
@PipeIT you salty dog….though I gotta say the first pic doesn’t really help your case. Your dad is sitting in a budgie smuggler with a bunch of s precariously close to his nuts, and you are in the background wearing a shirt that says you are a sailorman

This reminds me of when my father used to take his boat out to Catalina Island and we used to dive for abalone. That was some gooooooood eating!
However, abalone doesn't smoke well in a pipe.
We're thinking of making an animated series for kids. You can't get them hooked soon enough, the little buggers.
Where are the ewoks?
Not mail buoys. In these Maunsell forts. The Germans finally got them you say?
Anyone who told you that that beautiful set of 1928 Dunhills isn't spectacular is clueless. Besides, they're not that old. I smoke pipes from the early 1880's, and even they're not that old.
It's all a matter of perspective right gramps?
noo I didn't know ??you do know he was pressed into service right?
It was 1986 after all. Besides, how would one free up a hand to make an adjustment in that region, with Hands Across America and all that?
