I found a site selling them.

Gandalf's Pipe

It looks pretty cool but I don't have 80 extra dollars laying around.

Mostly, I chew tobacco (yeah, yeah. I know. Fuckin' redneck). When I smoke. it's either a pipe or a cigar.

I know someone who rolls their own and this is what he uses:



He swears that it's the best.

That pipe must be a pain in the ass to clean.

Damn, rumor was that Drum quit producing. I found a brand called Jester that was nearly as good. Its almost enough to get me smoking tabacco again.

Bought my first pipe when I was 16 - a very cheap, corn cob number, and some cheap tobacco and smoked it for about five minutes and felt so sick I had to go and lie down.
When the nausea had passed I tried again, and after that, I smoked it at any opportunity life in a boarding school allowed.
My collection of pipes grew after I left school, and at one point included a home-made hubble-bubble, which I was more or less forbidden from smoking by my colleagues in the office because of the annoying hubbly-bubbly noise it made.
The best smoke was a Church Warden�s pipe with a foot long stem - very cool but rather noticeable.
I used to cut out little discs from metal bottle tops and put holes in them and put the disc into the bottom of the pipe bowl so as to keep the tobacco from getting soggy, and avoid that ghastly glug of juice which a pipe occasionally delivers along with the smoke.
My pipe stems got very chewed through, and I loved the moment when it came to de-coke the bowl which had by then built up with such a thick deposit around the edges that you could hardly get any tobacco in it. Chipping off the build-up with my special pipe-smoker�s knife was immensely satisfactory.
Then just sometimes, almost invariably while sitting at my desk in the office, I�d get everything exactly right in terms of compactness and quantity, and have to stop everything because I was getting so much smoke I�d gone into a kind of nicotine-induced daze. Those moments made the whole messy, fiddly business worthwhile.
In 1977, aged 34, I bought a bicycle and at the end of the day had a very steep little hill to get up on my way home from the office which made me out-of-breath. So I stopped smoking, but I�ve still got all my chewed through pipes and think that when I�m very old - if I get to be very old - I might just take it up again. On the other hand I might not because my tobacco, Gallagher�s Rich Dark Honey Dew, hasn�t been made for years and years and I don�t think I could bring myself to smoke anything else.

I've been smoking a pipe off and one for about 15 years now. I have 7 or eight churchwardens, a calabash, and some beautiful briars of different styles and uses.

I've seen a meerschaum churchwarden for sale, but didn't have the cash at the time. Nice pipe. Churchwardens are my favorite style. Usually cheaper than other styles, smoke much cooler, and make a great impression at the ren faires.

Favorite tobacco...

McClelland's FrogMorton series. (Frogmorton, Frogmoron on the Town, and their new and wonderful, Frogmorton on the Bayou).
