Have you ever smoked a pipe?

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I believe @idahoblues is partial to a bit of rough shag!?

I smoked a pipe for a short while but it never led to any kind of shag, rough or smooth!

Everyone at the BBC smokes a pipe - they're forever blowing smoke up Rag arses.

This question should be at the top of each match day thread.

My dad smoked one for a while. I used to love watching him clean it and refill it. Then lit and the plume and smell.

There was only 3 Channels in those days.

at school, speaking wasn't allowed during luncheon.
in fact, the meal had to be conducted in total silence.
if you made any noise whatsoever you were caned later.
the headmaster sat at the top of the longest table.
he was always the last to finish eating.
he then took out his baccy bag & rubbed 2 different shags together.
the moment he lit his pipe was when the silence could end.
what a tosser.



anyroad,
this is my tray,
so it's safe to say the answer to the o.p. is yes,
every day for decades.

Also remember on our smoke filled travels to the West Country was my dad cleaning his pipe out whilst driving. He used to wind the window down and bang the thing on the side of the door producing a trail of sparks behind the old Morris Traveller..... The main reason we had our windows shut.

I remember my first introduction to the art of pipe smoking all those decades ago.
My father in law to be had a routine, he first cleaned out the pipe with his special pen knife with all the smoking gadgets on it then cut himself a chunch of tobacco (condor from memory), this he rubbed between his palms to eventually achieve a loose tobacco consistency. He tapped out his pipe, making sure he still had a correct cinder at pipes junction with its stem.
When satisfied, he then carefully packed the loose tobacco info the pipe. Next he gave the pipe a few sucks then made numerous attempts to light it with a box of Swan Vesta matches.

Eventually it was ignited and he took a few satisfying drags on it. Invariably it would need relighting but it was all part of his pleasure concerning pipe smoking.

Later in life whilst in a management position and pre HR days I was instructed by the Works Manager never to employ a pipesmoker because they took too much time fill light and enjoy it.

I understood where he was coming from.
