omg it's here already!!

Isn't the punch line, "Llandudno?"
Just about to commence phase one.

 

I came on to put something similar up.

 

I'm just having a bath and working my way to a walk, coffee & read. 

 

I'm bathed now, had my two eggs on bread and glass of water and almost ready to go out.

Why?

I aint a paid up subscriber so i can't show you my pipe collection.

I have about ten

 

Saint,

 

I use this site to post the odd picture on here.

Wow it worked - this is my Mario Grandi an italian pipe that i imported from USA. Photo doesn't do it justice, sorry but it is a work of art costing me £125 - but its a display piece and have rarely smoked it

In all its glory - i love this pipe

Thanx EC 

 

Excellent 

 

You can post a link to the full size image for Jen if you so wish. It's one of the options in the list, just cut and paste the address into the post rather than seldcting the insert picture option as you did to post this picture. Sorry if I'm telling you to suck eggs.

 

Nice little website for quick picture posts isn't it.

 

 

 

Cheers EC - will certainly use this site in future

Great site! thanks EC    I keep forgetting my password for photobucket 

This is my newly refurbished Butz Choquin full bent.

The repairer said it probably hadn't been stamped as Butz Choquin because of all the filler in the wooden bowl that they probably wouldn't want to put their  name to it - the cheek !!!

But he's made a wonderful job and now it looks beautiful.

I'm convinced its a French pipe cos its so similar to the type they make.

 

Cos you're always talking about it i wanted to see it lol

 

Thank you for posting the pics You really do love your pipes don't you.

Oh and i've just had a bath and smoked some Gauntley's Yataghan in my Kaywoodie.

Cool collection Saint  Theres something lovely about pipes and as for the smell of pipe-smoke ahhhh.

I used to keep my pocket money in an old tin of Three Nuns.

I adored the smell - pipe tobacco in general is lovely and reminds me of my childhood

Same here Saint  My favourite uncle, Gus, smoked a pipe.

 

 

 

I've never liked being around smokers, even cigar smokers, but I do not have that issue with pipe smoke for some reason. I wish more people switched from cigarettes and cigars over to pipes.

 

I guess Saint is best placed to explain pipe smoke and why I am OK with it. My grandad was a pipe smoker too.

Well i aint no expert . . .

Cigarettes i belive are based mostly on Virginia tobacco which has its own sweetness and a classic 'tobacco' taste/smell designed to give you a nicotine 'hit'.

Pipe smoking is totally different - the idea is to smoke s-l-o-w-l-y and let the flavours develop through the bowl ... and it does develop.

And the tobaccos are very different - there are soooo many different types. Its staggering, i never realised how many there are ... thousands.

And then there is how they are stored, heated, pressed, and mixed.

Taste is everything with pipe smoking - in cigarettes, its not.

Brilliant

 @ Erin's post.

Don't know why but I never had you down as a pipe smoker.

When the no smoking ban came in we had a pipe smoker who lit up in our bar. his defence was he wasn't smoking .

 

I am almost ready for my walk and encounter coffee shop as is my regular Sunday.

 

It's a trying to rain (unsucessfully), but that will never stop me.

 

I am taking my tablet so hopefully get a bit of GGJJ time.

 

Probably bump into a friend - who knows what the topic of conversation will be today.

 

 

I'm not quite awake... I was wondering if you were ill.

 

I've been up almost an hour... just had a croissant... about to shower and pimp up the flat again for a second viewing at 1 p.m. 

 

Lol - no, not ill, but one forgets the dual use of some words - not to self, must qualify the ambiguities. 

 

Hope the viewing goes well 

I worked it out when I figured out the GGJJ time.. although I had to read that twice too, I though you had an assignation with GJ....

It's raining in Nottingham EC, so it will be with you shortly 

2 x tea and 4 coffees in, showered but still not dressed.

Soon be lunchtime  

Got my son and his partner home for the weekend. They're regaling me with the best ever concerts they've been to.

 

It's a toss up between Kylie Showgirl tour, Spice Girls reunion but apparently Girls Aloud always put on a good show

 

 

ETA .....just bought a rather nice little dress on e bay for the summer.

 

 

 

Got it about 30 mins ago - Cheers Aimee 

You can keep it as well, I'm generous like that 

So far I've cooked and eaten dinner, washed and packed daughters clothes for her to go back to uni and hoping she will stay longer than 2 days this week and now I'm on bum watch 

EC did not have an assignation with me. He wouldn't show himself preferring to adopt disguises ranging from a police horse, a bloke selling programmes, and the guy in the garage who wouldn't sell us beer after the game.
