Pipes. Who here totes (and enjoys) them while in the woods?

[heresthedeal]

No reason to change what you said, I wasn't disagreeing with you. No reason to get smart about it either. On the way home from the purchase, I was telling my wife that I thought antler was calcium, that I wondered if it wouldn't smell. You and a few others have said it would smell of burnt hair. I just did the honey trick, and smoked half a bowl, and it worked very nicely. No strange odors, or bad tastes. I didn't let it get hot, and it worked fine.



enjoy your antler pipe. glad the honey thing worked for you, its more of a band aid than a cure though.

i deleted my other post because it was old info, plus a bit of personal info that i thought better of posting after i had.

as for disagreeing with me, i don't care, as for getting smart, enjoy your antler pipe.

I smoke a pipe on occasion.

This is my first and most used. I bought it at a little cigar shop just off Bourbon Street when I was a senior in high school.

I always give myself grief for smoking, but damn I enjoy it.

Always take a pinch and scatter it for the spirits.

Pssst, hey rus, we're all gonna die before we get off this rock. May as well enjoy ourselves. I'll give up my pipe when they pound that last nail in the lid. Even then, I told the 'ol lady to make sure theres one tucked in my pocket with a pouch of light burley.

You want good as well as economical and there is only one company in the world that still makes & sells corncob pipes which are sweet smokers. Only buy Missouri Meerschaum (MM) brand cobs as they are the oldest corncob pipe company still around and they use a special hybrid of corn developed to have bigger & thicker cobs. Please do not buy any other ones, they come from China, have small bores and tend to fall apart.

MMs sell for anything from $5-40, but you should look into starting with either the Diplomat, the Great Dane or the Country Gentleman pipes which all should be around $10.

I always pack a pipe and small bag of tobacco; I don't always get to smoke it, but I enjoy having it on the trail and around the camp site.

Thanks for the very informative reply. I will look into ordering one tomorrow morning.

If you'd like a Missouri Meerschaum, a good place to order from is J.R. cigars in North Carolina. They have a wide selection of pipes and pipe tobacco, including a wide choice of Missouri Meerschaum patterns. I order all my tobacco from JR's as their bulk price beats the hell out of the scalper prices the pipe and cigar shops skin ya for.

I was just getting ready to begin my online search for a pipe. Thanks for the tip Carl, I will check out J.R. Cigars before ordering anything.

I do. I make them also. Mostly churchwardens.

I'd like to see some pics please!

My favorite is a Larsen.

Guyon, nice collection! That Larsen is gorgeous!

Found this little pipe today at an antique store made out of antler. Thought it was cool, as well as reasonably priced. Really liking it, although I haven't smoked it yet. Just got home with it.

That is a totally cool looking pipe! Nice find.

Pictures? No outdoorsy ones but here's one of my favorite pipes. It is a Radice pipe made from Morta, or petrified Bog Oak. The wood has been buried in a bog for upwards of 10K years and has fossilized into almost pure carbon (lignite). As such, it is incredibly light, hard and the entire pipe "breathes" for a cool & dry smoke. Beautiful looker & smoker.

Man, that is a sweet looking pipe.

here are a couple.....

Aw come on guys. Some of those pipes you're showing off have never been lit. Tamp some tobacco in them and lite 'em up!

A pipe without a cake is like a pristine knife that's been a safe queen. Un fulfilled in it's purpose.

Not the direction I was going with pipes in high school but now that I'm older and a little wiser, I do enjoy a pipe on occasion. I haven't found a shop here in San Antonio with a decent selection of tobacco though..

Mine has. Since the pipe itself is primarily carbon, it does not need to build a cake. It is already & always ready to smoke!

Sweet churchwardens. :thumbup:

This is my little collection, and my EDC for today. The little vest pocket pipe (2nd from right) accompanied me on a deployment through the Middle East. It has seen much of the world and makes a great pocket pipe. The corncob is a MM and is usually the one that accompanies me to the great outdoors now that I'm out of the service.
