I smoke a pipe and notice that most pipe-smokers hold theirs by the bown while smoking. I hold mine by the stem, possibly because I started with a clay pipe.
So, how do you hold your pipe while smoking?
well I have to hold it by the bowl… how else do you cover that hole on the side?..ohhh… ummm…I mean…
I only smoke my pipe when I am fishing, it keeps the bugs away. And I either hold it by the bowl, or keep it between my teeth.
I like Captain Black Original and you???
I used to work for a guy that smoked a pipe. He’d fill it, light it, take a few puffs, and then put it into his pants pocket, still lit.
You guys do that?
If so, why???
Maybe his wife liked smoked nuts.
Gawith & Hoggarth Black Irish Twist, G&H Brown Irish Twist, G.L. Pease Haddo’s Delight (and all the other GLP blends that I’ve tried).
My dad used to smoke Borkum Riff (sp?). I loved the smell of that tobacco.
Usually, by the bowl. Sometimes, I’ll put two fingers on opposite edges of the bowl, and my thumb under the stem. I like bent pipes, so this is rather comfortable, odd as it sounds.
And my favourite tobaccos include Peterson’s University Flake, Peterson’s Sweet Killarney, Dunhill Nightcap, and Solani Blend 633.
