Smoking a pipe

Depends what you put in it 😄

Used to love the smell back back in the day at family gatherings, always an uncle or two smokin a pipe. Not sure what type of tobacco they smoked, but it akways smelt gorgeous.

Mostly aul fellas and pretentious Aran jumper clad bearded twats.

back in the 80’s / 90’s it was really common, don’t know anyone smoking one now. Last was a lad in my old local, who played in a known showband and sat in backing visiting top stars of that era….

before he went in the pub he’d light up for a few drags of it…. From my direction walking you’d know he was in as you’d see the big puffs of smoke emanating from around the corner before youd even see him….💨💨💨💨💨. Like smoke signals…’ohh Paul is in’..

I haven't seen a person smoke a pipe in many years.

My granddad used to smoke one. Used to love the smell!

If some famous person started smoking a pipe again, I'm sure all the neck beards who smoke would be all over it again.

Paul who?

Similarly, I had a couple of uncles who smoked a pipe, lovely leathery comforting smell, nothing like cigarettes..

I lived in some developing countries where it would be common for old ladies to smoke a pipe as it would be frowned upon for them to smoke a cigarette.. don't know the logic but there ye are..

It's not hard to imagine that kind of logic. Just look above your post. You have lots of people recalling fond memories of people smoking pipes, but then deciding anyone who would smoke a pipe today is a twat. That's the same kind of logic in our own culture.

The grandfather smoked a pipe until a fortnight before he died and he made 96. He would buy Condor plug tobacco, solid chunks of it, which he would pare off with a penknife and fill the pipe and when he wasn't smoking it he was chewing it.
