Amppax Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 [quote name='USAirwaysIHS' timestamp='1345909190' post='2474070'] I've experimented with making a corn cob pipe before. I rushed the process though, so they didn't really turn out. [/quote] I'm going to carve one out of wood. At the current rate this is coming together, it should be done sometime before my 80th birthday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 What kind of wood are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 In any cause, you oughta try meerschaum since it's much softer and easier to work with than most wood (especially any kind of wood that would hold up to the repeated stresses of pipe smoking...it'd be a bummer to carve a pipe for 60 years and have it burn through on the fifth smoke.).

[/quote] Well I'm not even that far, I'm basing it on this http://www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-tobacco-pipe/ Meershaum sounds like an excellent idea.

Vincent Vega Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Oh, okay. It recommends briar root, which is typical pipe making wood, but because it is so tough, it's a bear to work with (as I understand it). But that instructable said to use a dremel, which shouldn't pose any problems...when you said carving, I imagined you sitting down with a buck knife and hacking away at it yourself. But when you get to that point: [url="http://pipesandcigars.com/cayoownpi.html"]http://pipesandcigar.../cayoownpi.html[/url] p&c is a reputable site. I've bought a bunch of tobacco from them.

franciscanheart Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I love the smell, the ritual, everything. So: yes. Definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He is Risen! Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Sometimes when I'm hanging out with other people who are all having a cigar together, I'll join in. I do smoke a pipe but only at home by myself, I think it draws a little too much attention for me as a young( ok youngish) woman smoking one out and about.
