I want to buy a smoking pipe and some tobacco. The problem is that I couldn’t find a shop so far. When I use the terms “smoking”, “pipes”, “accesories” in Google, all I get is shops that sell marijuana bongs. ☹

Is there a respectable shop that sells normal pipes (in the UK)?

After looking up specific types of pipe, I ran across this site: [http://straightgrain.connect-2.co.uk/](http://straightgrain.connect-2.co.uk/) .

If you want to try looking for other pipe shops, try using the terms outlined on [this site](http://www.marketstmall.com/shade/pipeshapes.html) Very few of the pipes you refer to as “marijuana bongs” are described as squat bulldogs or church wardens. And while they’re rather stationary, hookahs can be nice for tobacco use.
