Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who here smokes a tobacco pipe?

My brother sent me off to college in 1980 with his college Meerschaum and I used it extensively. I still use when winter comes. Plain old Captain Black is all it has seen.

Uncle smoked a pipe quite a few years till the mouth cancer got him.

About a foot high and sits flat on the TV. Gurgles some...

My great great uncle used to smoke a pipe. He smoked Prince Albert from a can he carried in his bib overalls. He would take me to the pond about a quarter mile from his house and I would shoot frogs with a 22. He also chewed Prince Albert pipe tobacco. Before we headed back to the house we would gather up the frogs I shot and my great grandmother would cook frog legs for supper. Good times!

I smoked one for about 10 years but quit a long time ago. Smoked briars, meerschaums, clay, corncob and even a calabash. I much preferred curved pipes over straight stems because they kept that bitter liquid residue down near the bowl and somehow just felt "better". Two favorites were a classic Peterson and freehand by (I believe) Erik Nording which fit perfectly in my left hand and not at all in my right.

I tried about every tobacco available but by far my favorite was Norse Gold from the Tinderbox, it is still available.

I have smoked mostly the Viking brand briars, one in particular and also some Italian bigger bowl I bought back in 96. That one is my favorite. Carter Hall and Prince Albert along with a couple of Lane's are my favorite tobaccos. Currently I am an inactive smoker, spent four months in and out of a hospitals seriously just got out of the habit.

I always loved the smell of pipe tobacco...when I was a kid the old blacksmith in town smoked a pipe and a lot of other old guys...so thing you just never see any more...can't even remember the last time I sa somone smoking a pipe...

I'm a cigar guy, but have tried pipes. I can't keep them lit for some reason and have more or less given up on them. That said, I love the smell of good pipe tobacco.

I rarely smoke, (maybe a bowl or two quarterly?) but when I do it's mostly aromatics in savonelli's... smokingpipes.com...is a good place to get tobacco and try some out. And, to get to know the shapes of pipes.

Everything in moderation, well not everything...but most things in moderation.

Savinelli, that's a nice pipe.

Some of my earliest memories are of the wonderful smell of my grandfather's pipe. He died of lung cancer when I was about 4, which has kept me from ever becoming a smoker, but I do have a couple of his old pipes. Recently, I've thought about getting some tobacco and firing them up now and then-- not enough to give me any health concerns but maybe smoking them on a hunting trip or two per year.

I've never smoked a pipe but had an uncle that did. As young kids, we always begged him to smoke his pipe after supper. We all loved the smell and would sit next to him and enjoy it with him. Fond memories...

Smoked some excellent McClelland Dark English in this cob just this evening. Great stuff on a cool spring evening.

. I started when I was a teenager smoking Yellow bowl pipes and sneaking my dads tobacco, also smoked corn silk out of a .10 cent corn cob pipe. Later I smoked Kaywoodie pipes and Mixture 79 tobacco in the late 50's.

This is my Hemingway impersonation

Amazing.

Quit a number of years back but still have my collection. Favorite baccy was Penzance.

We have quite a few cocksmokers on the 'fire...Ethan Edwards, Tom264, Ferd the third turd etc...

My favorite pipe was a curved stem Wellington, if memory serves. Carried it in my shirt pocket. One day I went to fire it up and realized it had fallen out of my pocket when I got off the tractor to open a gate. Ran right over it. That was the end of that one.

One time, I apparently didn't get all the fire out of my pipe before putting it into my pocket. Started smelling burning rags which turned out to be my shirt. Got a little hot too. Pocket was left with a big hole in it.

Smoked another plant in a pipe alot from 1976 to around July 1983.
Never smoked tobacco in pipe though....

Never
