I fear no breeze

Guys, I'm not much for posting information unless it's flat out fabulous on products here. I did some scanning on wind caps within the forum posts. I went to 4noggins recently for a bulk purchase of some light English (Bailey's front porch by C&D) and picked up a wind cap. In short, its the best 2 dollars I've ever spent on a pipe accessory. Being march, the wind kicks up a good bit. I became tired of placing my palm over the pipe in hopes to avoid wind damage. Now, with one of those wind caps, I will definitely replace cigarettes as my driving habit.Maybe folks will have to deal less with my one finger signaling now lol.

Great advice. :clap: I lost my very first pipe to a burnout caused by the wind ...and on a super cold day at that!

I have a peterson silver lid for this very reason.

One of the handiest and cheapest things that exist to protect a pipe.

 

[papipeguy]

Yep, cheap insurance and they work on nearly every pipe.

I have a Welington bent that has a cap from the factory I got it at an antique store dont know how old it is but it smokes well in the wind.

I've mentioned this before that I'm an avid sailor. Is a windcap enough to allow me to smoke while underway?
Sailing's no fun without wind, and could be even more fun with wind and a pipe!

Yep a wind cap is an essential item. I am also a sailor and a wind cap is a serious must have item.

They definitely are the best.When I bought about ten of them and have them scattered in the house,garage and the cars.Ive been thinking about trying to smoke on the bike when the wife lets me get a new windshield,just have to wait for the war department to give me the OK.
