Your latest pipe/pipe tobacco purchase thread....

[Griz]

You dog you, that is fantastic. I have been drooling over that same lathe for 2 weeks now, but I need a $600.00 fuel pump put in my truck first... Can't wait to see my new pipe your gonna make on it, hint hint.......
Let me know how you like it... I may have to get one this winter.

You all must have nice relaxing commutes. I can't see me trying to smoke a pipe, tamping, & relighting while dealing with the usual insane traffic. A cigar is enough work...especially the touch-ups with a triple flame torch to keep it burning nicely(wind through the windows really messes up an even burn).

Sweet pipe by the way. A comission or an IG "first comes first buys it" purchase?

I actually find it easier than a cigar, as there's no worries about ash flying around or dropping in my lap, etc...

An IA- immediately available. I can already tell by putting two bowls through that the stem is too short. I will send it back in and get that fixed. Smokes way too hot. And yeah, piping is easier for me than smoking a cigar- My suits smell better too. My commute is from the country into a town of only 150k so really no city traffic. Imho

I keep trying to smoke my pipe n drive....... Only works out occasionally though my commute is only 20-25min Ima gonna try and start on the drive home maybe and slow down a bit!

Ideally when I'm going to pipe and drive I like to get my initial light and tamp before getting in the car. This gets most of the finicky stuff out of the way before driving and I rarely have to relight. If I have to tamp while driving I'll often just use my finger.

Same as you except I keep a golf tee in my visor.

 

[javajunkie]

as you can successfully navigate a bowl down farther without relights, just judicious use of the tamper and a good pack and light, it gets easier. two pipe nails in the car, and i can use them by feel while watching the road.

my commute is only 15 worst case, and piping gives me a moment's peace, and i can relight and come back to it farther into the day. tried it with cigars, not so much... only when i can finish one in peace.

I keep a golf tee in the car and usually get it solidly lit/first temp out of the way before I start driving.
