Does Anyone Really Smoke With The Stem Like This?

[voorhees]

I hate seeing pipes with the stems upside down. :crazy:

Ha! I do have a poker with a slight bend that I WISH was straight. I have spun it 180 a few times but even worse. I bet the guy in the pic doesn't even know.

I was hesitant to use it because of that, but just thought the overall photo went well with the theme of the article, which I already posted in the forums, but here is the link for convenience.
Looking in Mirrors
I thought this guy represented what I refer to as the "cool kids in school", who might not really be as cool as some think they are. That's also why I chose the other photo of the guy in the robe.

Reminds me of the morons you see on TV and in the movies who hold a handgun sideways while shooting simply because they think it looks cool.

I tried to get a patent on side-sights for the urban gun enthusiast but it went nowhere.

 

[crazypipe]

No, never smoked a pipe that way ::

 

[condorlover1]

How very interesting….I think the word Idiot! Followed by 'Free permanent holiday in North Korea' sort of springs to mind looking at that picture

You must be living in Mayberry. The side sight could be sold in mall kiosks around here. Lol.

Wow. Yeah .. clinch that fast :lol:

That's attitude. Silly, but attitude nonetheless. I guess if there are really gullible young

women as the audience, it might work, maybe. If some old pipe smoker nearby doesn't

bust a gut laughing. The fedora somewhat adds to the, ah, mystique. I'd be the old geezer

laughing uncontrollably.

At least his hat isn't on backwards.

"Smoking a pipe with the stem set normally is too mainstream."

 

[nkourilo]

Not only does that look way cool but there's no chance an ember would blow out of the bowl and right into the guys eye....oh wait, that's exactly what happened to a friend of mine.

I suppose there's always a price to pay for being fashion forward. On the. Plus side, you can keep watch to make sure the tobacco is burning evenly in the bowl.

LOL trail boss

 

[grouchydog]

Hope he doesn't take up shooting:

 

[cosmicfolklore]

LOL, I've never smoked with my stem turned backwards, but it does look like a good way to keep an eye on your bowl while you smoke or keep your forehead warm. :wink:

I tried smoking like this one day but the ghost of Sixten Ivarsson materialized and kicked my butt really hard.

Glad someone asked that question as I've often wondered why you would do that and whether I was missing the point. Apparently not! Great English word starting with T and ending in osser.
