A member of the Pipe Smoking Alliance usually has the following characteristics:

1. He spends a large amount of time sitting in well-stuffed chairs in dimly lit rooms.
2. During conversation, he tends to hold his pipe in his mouth with one hand and nod his head frequently.
3. When making a point, he often removes the pipe from his mouth and points at people with its stem.
4. He is educated, discerning, introspective and genteel.
5. He is, generally speaking, a he.

For that much, they better smoke themselves yet give me the same satisfaction of actually smoking.

Does 4 out of 5 qualify me? I am not educated. Although I have been told that a pipe hanging from your mouth makes you look smart.

Have any of you tried the Carey Magic inch pipes? They are the coolest smoking pipes I have ever tried. They also seem to allow the flavor to come through. Btw I have church warden pipe that was given to me by my Pastor.

Imagine what that pipe would look like in my manly hand. Bubbles would probably come out of it or something.

With that I'm off to grab some lunch and a pack of Djarum Blacks.

A note for seasoned and new pipe smokers alike...
Watch out for stem length. A longer stem is best for beginners, as the heat of the smoke will not be enough to burn your mouth as easily. With a shorter stem, it will be hotter and your mouth will suffer for it. Lay off the short stems until you get a little bit of experience smoking pipes.

*Sits back and counts the days until he turns eighteen so he can smoke a pipe* Only a little over a year left now.

Ah yes...by the time you'll be buying tobacco I'll be a patron at the liquor barn.

"Yes, good sir. I'll have the Labrot & Graham Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon please."

I have tried for several minutes now to attach pics of my pipes. It doesn't seem to work. Can someone help if you are interested in seeing them?
