I smoked a churchwarden pipe!

I just got back fro a friend’s house where we saw the Lord of the Rings trilogy back to back. Our host even wore an authentic Gandalf wizard’s cloak.

Furthermore, he had a long stemmed pipe he was smoking…and shared with me.

After he had the bowl well lit, he offered it to me. I, a non-smoker, took the foot-long stem between my lips with both fear and exitement, and took a draw.

Warm, sweet/tangy/smoky vanilla filled my mouth, and I blow an impressively thick, creamy white puff.

I stop after three or four puffs because I’m afraid to accidentaly inhale this stuff and cause instant lung cancer or something.

The puffs themselves are sweet, but leave a sour aftertaste.

I hope my Mom dosen’t smell it on my clothes. :wink:

Isn’t this the same claim that got all those archdiocese in trouble a while ago?

yeah, right :wally

it looked something like this:
