Thread: Pipe of the Day

Seems that the wintertime has arrived. Smoking some Balkan Flakes from Sailor pipe.



Watching a curious woodpecker peering behind the garden tree.

Morning gents; enjoying a bowl of Dunhill Standard Mixture (ne Medium - Orlik production) in a Stanwell Canadian.

Tomi,

It's called snow. I guess you've seen it too for a time or two
About 20 cm (~ 8 inches now). Personally i think it's great, although i do not like if the weather gets too cold, say colder than -20 C or so (-4 F).
This is just the beginning. Not real winter yet.

I know what you mean, i share your faith. The snow itself doesn't make it cold.
Currently, right now, we have about -15 C (5 F) and it would be ok without the wind. However, living in a coast it's always windy and having a north storm right now with a wind blowing directly from Novaja Zemlja or so. Going out with the doggies is a pain in the a$$. No hope from trying to smoke my evening pipe.

I saw your wood shed... You can have a fire and a pipe...

I agree... The wind make it no fun... I like snow... But someone else can have the cold...

I often smoke in the outdoors, not because I have no choice (indeed, my 'man-cave' is warm and inviting), but simply because I enjoy nature and the short escape from the kids/wife/work (self-employed; maintain a home office). I've discovered that simply covering ones-self with a lap blanket and running an electric space heater under the chair your sitting in keeps one comfortable down to about -20c...any colder than that and you have to add an extremely high-nic blend to the mix. Well, assuming you're dressed for it, too - if you head out in Bermuda shorts and a tee-shirt, you're on your own...

Currently watching the rain fall, 'faceturbating' and trying to decide if I have enough growth to go shave, while puffing on a WDC Hesson Guard ('33) full of OGS tin-baked for 200m/165f.

I saw snow...The last time I de-frosted and scraped the ice out of the freezer...About the middle of winter just gone. I needed to do something to try and stay cool and that was the best thing I could think of at the time...
