I tried it once in the early 70's.
I always fancied a briar pipe so I could look like Sherlock Holmes, so I was out with some mates in Manchester City centre and I passed a tobacconist's shop who had a display in the window.
I went in and explained I was a beginner, and didn't know the first thing, so I chose a pipe and he recommended some rough shag.
Later on that day, we were on the top floor of Lewis's and I was desperate to give it a go, so I lit up, had a couple of drags and immediately turned a horrible shade of green.
I flew down five escalators, out of the store and threw up in the gutter on Market Street.
Saved me a fortune over the years.....lol! Mugs game.
