Your Pet Peeves with Pipe Smoking

[Sweet Home Alabama]

Religions that knock on my door! People who ask me if my meerschaums are clay pipes. People who complain about me chewing tobacco, usually on subway platforms. People who break into spontaneous coughing fits when they see me smoking. I could go on but there just isn't enough space and it is Christmas...

When folks say, "mind if I smoke", I reply, "no, mind if I fart". Old Steve Martin joke I think...

@condorlover1 Was I one of your pet peeves when I asked about the Markus Fohr pipe???

 

[Sweet Home Alabama]

Can't. We rent, and even if we didn't, my wife would turn my testicles into earrings if I even tried. Besides, I love being outdoors and watching the birds. And having nads (not necessarily in that order).

You actually might need to grow a couple.....LOL!! You already sound emasucated. That said, the sex might be unbelievable.

I have more burn holes in my clothes now than I did when POT had seeds in it...

I walked right into that one.

Pipe tobacco that’s too moist! Especially when it’s one your anxious to try.

Having the majority of my "adult conversations" come from an online forum for pipe & tobacco enthusiasts. ?

OMG if this isn’t the truth. Got three littles running around. Finally get the kiddos down for the night, head out to the garage, fire up a pipe, and chat with you good folks. Most sane conversation I get all day (don’t know if that’s saying much or not… ). ?

Perhaps a nice burley blend soaked in elk urine?

I thought that's how burley came.

Burn holes in clothing. Pipe smoking seems to cause incredibly bad breath if you smoke a lot, worse than Cigars I think.

Oh yeah, there are some people like that, and it's so retarded and artificial that you think they'll cough up a lung from the whisp of smoke that is trailing after me (I only smoke while walking outdoors). Similar to some people who start sneezing the SECOND someone opens a window in public transport.

Listening to the “Entertainment Committee” aka the wife moan about my pipe smoking. This coming from a ex-cigarette smoker.
The joys ?
Happy smokes

My pet peeve right now, a lot more than a peeve, more like a full blown annoyance, is that I have a cold and can't taste or smell anything, so smoking a pipe is meaningless

When someone finds your unsmoked pipe and SINCERELY believes that pipes are toys for blowing bubbles...

Proceeds to fill said pipe with dishwashing soap and water and to blow bubbles with neighborhood children for the better part of the day.

Ok…. Here’s one…. Your on the golf course and your buddy gets hit with a falling limb on the 5th hole, and you have to perform an emergency tracheotomy… so I use my pipe stem to keep him alive. I mean, I poured some brandy on it to sterilize it, but still… all you get is, “I can’t get the taste of latakia out of my thoat!” And, then this complaint goes on and on. I mean, can’t he just be grateful to be alive? Some people….

Quitters are always the worst!

Other than then the biggies like Taxes and Brands/Tobaccos disappearing... I have to say it is twigs. I like to fill my bowl quickly and picking out twigs ugh... I am thinking of moving onto flakes coins just because there are no twigs lol.

People are indeed different. Twigs don't bother me at all. As a matter of fact, I kind of enjoy them. I twist them around and place them in the bowl about half way down and they smoke just fine.

 

[JohnClyde]

Not finishing it when I should have.

Persisting with the bottom of the bowl to the point where it tarnishes my memory of the smoke.

Smoking my own spit remains an acquired taste (pun intended)

I was under the impression that twigs effected the taste negatively.

“Twigs” never bothered me either. I always figured it just a part of what delivers the nourishment to the main part of the leaf we so enjoy….. so it seems to me (and has always been) just part of the enjoyment of smoking a pipe.

All of you sons a’ bitches influence making me buy shit.

Hahaha! I have no peeve otherwise. It’s a great sport.
