How Many of Your Shirts Have Burned Cinder Holes in Them? ?

[cigrmaster]

I have my smoking shirts and then I have my good cloths. My good cloths are all silk and I don't smoke my pipes wearing them. My smoking shirts all have tons of burn holes and I don't care as that is what they are for.

By some miracle, I was able to vote none. Having said that, I managed to knock my pipe out of my mouth while driving just a couple days ago. I was swapping glasses for sunglasses when this graceful incident occurred. Thankfully nothing was burned and the pipe stayed lit.

How do you burn your shirt with a pipe?

Cinder spillage due to tamping in the style of an epileptic seizure.

Actually its sometimes a bit windy on my patio and if I'm not careful when tamping is when it usually happens. Another time I knocked the pipe out of my mouth reaching over my shoulder for my coffee. I really probably should be wearing a helmet at all times now that I've said this out loud.

I also now have 'smoking shirts.'
I made the mistake one time of going to bed right after a final night time pipe without changing it.

My wife reminded me in her own particularly unique way. It was colorful!

Shirts, shorts, parts, recliners, all kinds of upholstery... Never was any good at keeping things nice. Burn holes are like a badge of honor.

I burn holes in shirts at an alarming rate.

This is probably why they used to wear smoking jackets!

I've got an old threadbare pea coat I wear in cooler weather. Since it's mostly wool it won't ignite like synthetics, and since its old I don't care about holes.

Summertime is more dangerous, especially synthetic shorts and track pants...

It used to be a rare thing but since getting into smoking meer cutty pipes I now have several tee shirts with holes.
cutties seem to be prone to ash falling out the front

To bad smoking jackets went out of fashion.

Is this why the "smoking coat" was invented?

I mustn’t be smoking enough, I don’t have any yet..
That, or they’re hidden by food stains ?

Never try to clench when smoking a straight-stemmed clay pipe, because they always try to rotate upside down at your slightest inattention, thereby enabling the dumping of ash, coals and dottle into your lap.

Risk taker ?

The only thing that would be of any real consequence if it got singed is a pretty small target
?

Only one - but that led to an Urgent Care Visit, second and third degree burns, and a huge scar tissue in my shoulders.

I was smoking late night, I was in a semi sleepy state, the kitchen match slipped from my hands while striking and landed on my shoulders. It took me 4-5 seconds to realize my shirt is burning, and then somehow my cotton t-shirt caught fire.
I got it off within 45 seconds, but it was enough to burn me severely.

Ouch! Minor burns are just kind of a part of the deal for smokers, but that sounds pretty serious and terribly painful.

I have put holes in a number of articles of clothing, I am sad to say.

HA HA HA! Good thread. It's not my shirts that get burned but my pants. I've also learned not to smoke with shorts on. LOL

None from smoking, but quite a few from acid fumes in the chemistry stock room - even with a fume hood.

Is that what they call an ash hole? I think they are mostly the product of multitasking, whether driving or committing art work while smoking a pipe, and so on. If you focus on the sacrament of smoking a pipe only, you will get few if any.

Whit pipe tobacco, thumb knuckle. He stayed kept the ember in for a few months, incrusted in the meat.........With the cigars, I always end up burning, pants, shirts, driver's seat, and cushions from my smoker room...........
