What Pipe or Pipe Tobacco Did You Smoke Today? [pics]

I've never eaten Goat. Is it any good?

Wes H.

I once worked with a guy who made goat tacos . I tried one, the meat was a weird texture, almost like a clear jelly marbling. Not for me.

Those bushes below the mulberries once upon a time were big as trees, it's briar but it's not for pipe making, we call them "salt-briar" because grow close to the sea.

Dunhill My mixture 965.

Sid, I have to ask. This is the second pic of yours Ive seen with those beads and tassle on the tray, whats that about, Or do I even want to know?

It tasted like Antelope to me ... Mutton (sheep) isn't much better.

A couple years ago my wife and I took a motorcycle trip out to Colorado . One day we did a trout fishing float excursion on the Colorado River . Our guide while on the ride up to the boat launch stopped to point out the wildlife along the way. One of which was the widespread vegetation of Sage, and the Pronghorn antelope that roam the Rockies feed on it. He said the Antelope meat basically comes pre-seasoned and taste like breakfast sausage, by the sage being so much of their diet. I would have liked to try it.

Sorry sir, english isn't my mother language so i can't understand abbreviations. The kompoloi in the second picture is one from my collection [modified], before i go to the Cafe i choose what pipe and what kompoloi i will take with me.
I have kompoli for inside the house, for outside in the balcony and few for the Cafe visits. They are "custom" which means i choose the colour and the shape of the beads, the length of the cord, the colour and the shape of the tassel and i create a unique kompoloi. Ready for use "as is" i have only 2, all the others are modified [as my pipes].
You can ask me anything you want.

 

[ChinaVoodoo]

Yes, but what is a komploi?

 

[deluxestogie]

Yes, but what is a komploi?

Can't help but wonder if their origin is related to prayer beads.

That's because you haven't read the link I provided.

Bob

So you're saying it's not related to prayer?

Just kidding. Sorry, Bob. I should have followed the link.

Good morning from Athens-Greece.

I am smoking Kohlhase & Kopp Nr. 11 Honey-Rum.

Kompoloi now is a personal item, helps you relax and think calmly, gives information about your status and artistic talent.
You don't pray with the kompoloi, the monks use different style with the Cross on it:

every knob is a wish or a prayer and it's strictly forbidden to swirling it!

[Smokin Harley]

Beautiful Meer, Sid. whats the stem made of?

 

[deluxestogie]

Nice sliced cake!

Bob

 

[Sid.Stavros]

Solani X Sweet Mystery.

The stem is acrylic my choice of colour, in Greece the cake-cookies etc in the Cafe are free especially if you order espresso.

 

[Charly]

Thank you guys ! Now I understand the use of this "Komboloi"

 

[deluxestogie]

...in Greece the cake-cookies etc in the Cafe are free...

And you wonder about the economy?
