Stupid Bar Trick.

[bullet08]

I guess it won't be a bar trick since we can't smoke at bar. But while smoking on the front porch, found a new trick. I was sneezing with pipe. First one wasn't too hard. A lot of ashes all over my shirt. Second one was harder. The tobacco that was in the cob came half way up showing ember and everything. But! The tobacco was like skinny plug. It was neat x)

I struck a wood match to light my pipe the other day...broke in half, successfully lit, and landed burning on my shirt with me holding a useless stick...also exciting!

Everyone's still too petrified of last year's flu to notice anything but the sneezing. Everyone but me, that is. I'd put down my brandy and applaud vigorously!

I can’t top sneezing a plug out of my pipe?
Though, I have gone to grab my clenched pipe before, only to remember a hair too late that it was a cigar in my mouth, not a pipe. Old habits. Cigar cherries can get pretty hot to the touch, for what it’s worth.

Awesome bar trick.

So far my best trick has been striking a cheap match that immediately broke off flinging the fully ignited head directly into my lap, so I quickly grabbed the still furiously flaming match head with my bare fingers and thumb (because one Willy is more important than any number of fingers) only to realize that hurt like hell and promptly dropping the tiny fireball from hell on the carpet. Quickly recognizing that was a truly stupid move and realizing my ass was toast if I burned a hole in the wife’s carpet I selflessly stomped on the hot little bastard with my bare foot - another epically stupid move - just to realize that was actually not much of an improvement and to loudly and emphatically exclaim F_CK which had the net effect of blowing most of the tobacco and ash all over myself and the godforsaken carpet and nearly dropping the pipe out of my mouth. Spent the next 15 minutes cleaning up the mess with blistered fingers, a bad attitude and a LOT of swearing. And to add insult to literal injury I never even smoked the damn pipe that day because I was so pissed off and my fingers hurt. ?

So.. How many of you had match head stuck on your thumb doing the trick with matchbooks? Better yet, how many of you had callus on your thumb from repeatedly burning your thumb? Mine went away after I started borrowing my father's Zippo.

Funniest thread.

Have you ever had a pipe in your mouth while driving and turned your head to the left to check for traffic, only to have your pipe make contact with the seatbelt? Sometimes I feel like the Born Loser.

I LOVE IT! I'm envisioning your plight and my subsequent entertainment. I would've paid big money to see the you in action.

Holy crap I nearly did the same thing the other day.
Also went to cup my cigar like a pipe when I was relighting it once.. ahh muscle memory.
Or maybe I have other issues

Been there, done that for most of the things on this list. Ruined a hell of a lot of shirts that way.

Thumb no....this super custom tamper I got is showing some signs of wear, and finish issues though...

It's a pleasure to scrub the ash in the clothes. I love the combination of ash and your favorite shaving, cologne, perfume or lotion, and smell of burned fingers.

Oh yeah, my favorite sweatshirt has a nice whole in the left shoulder because when the pipe hit the seat belt a piece of cherries tobac feel out and landed there. Because the window was open I didn’t even smell the burning sweatshirt, felt it once it burned through lol

 

[Charlie718]

Luckily years of sweating pipes, brazing, welding, and burning have made it so my fingers are the perfect tampers. I just look the fool when I put the pipe to the inside of my elbow to check heat. After working commercial fishing even my cheek is weathered lol

Putting a lit pipe in your pocket and then having your wife inquire why your tweed jacket is smouldering!

Or having your pipe hit the rolled up window. Awaking moment
