I recently took to a pipe in an effort to control my smoking habit. We have a lovely traditional bacconist in Conwy that recommended a curved briar pipe and a cherry vanilla mixture. They do mail order, search duckworths tobacconists. I find it quite soothing and miinx likes the smell so its win win.
The idea came from a friend who gave me a pipe he had made. Which got me thinking.
visions here of ancient Indonesian women with no teeth smoking clay pipes...
I know a female on this site, who did or maybe still does smoke a pipe.
Look left ....that is not (as some seem to think a cigar)
