A smoking pipe, not a plumbing pipe or anything. I was in a tacky giftshop in Baker Street killing time before I met someone, when I saw a stack of Sherlock Holmes pipes, and was intrigued when it said they were genuine, working pipes. Then when I saw it cost a couple of quid I couldn't resist.

Does anyone here smoke a pipe? It came with a full set of instructions, it looks insanely complicated. Can you even buy pipe tobacco in most shops? I had to cover a slow pipe smoking competition once. They were some cool guys.

Lets talk about pipes.
