I thought this was going to be a good @Briar Lee story!

Pix of the neighbor?

That’s what we’re all thinking about now.

I was very disappointed in that method. Though also totally down with the fact that it's as close to fool proof as possible.

I've modified the method so that I can quickly load a pipe. I don't always use it, but when I have problematic tobacco, I do and it seems to improve the quality of the smoke.

Yep. Hence the "glass house" being built..
She must of been good, to go to all that trouble..

Unfortunately no pics……as Rose from the titanic said….”she exists now, only in my memory….”

I was hoping for “Her mammaries exist now, oh my!”

Wouldn't that be lions and cougars and mammaries, oh my!

Give it about 50 years or so, and you'll start to get the hang of it.

I personally don't use methods, but if others find them helpful, that's a good thing.

At its essence, smoking a pipe is really simple, and for me, one of the signs that I'm dealing with a newbie is the added complexities, theories, and "discoveries" that they bang on about. With time, they get over that.

You practice, you experiment, you make some connections, and you get better at it.

"Relax, have a smoke." "Not that kind!"

@DeerparkDays isn’t your neighbour in her late 70s?

Most things these days are being needlessly over-complicated.

The general mantra should be "it's not rocket surgery".

O not dear old Glenys…..perhaps 50 years ago……

I was wondering if you were smoking mouldy homegrown for a second there
