But at least his face will be warm.

That’s why when I smoked a pipe I preferred those with a bent stem.

Hubby had a nice collection that accumulated over the years. When the warnings about pipe smoking came out, they hit hard, especially since a friend’s father died from lip cancer because of smoking a pipe.

Don’t see a lot of pipe smokers these days. Though of all the types of smoking out there, I always found it least objectionable. Not good for you, but…

Saw Liam Neeson in a movie last night smoking a pipe while driving. Thought the same thing, you don’t see many pipe smokers anymore.

I just bought a DVD of the 1983 film Strange Brew starring the McKenzie Brothers. (It’s based on Hamlet.)

How the world looks depends on what he’s smoking in his pipe.

My father smoked a pipe.

Ceci n’est pas une pipe.

Just a pipe dream

If you can’t hold a pipe to the side of your mouth (out of sight) using only your teeth, you’re not a real pipe smoker.
