Default Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fa

Thanks for the replies. I smoke the majority of my cigars out back and was thinking about doing the same with a pipe.

This is what I was worried about, so I plan on buying a cob pipe first to see if it's for me and then I'll take it from there. My dad used to smoke pipes some 30 years ago, so I might also try one of his meers.

That's an interesting angle on smoking inside. I'll have to suggest it. Do you always smoke in the same spot when you smoke inside? The reason I ask is I'm wondering about any discoloration on the ceiling from the smoke.
