    Not kilted, unfortunately...but here is a photo of me with my Italian made pipe after I got back home from doing a Victorian Era related event:



    Next time I can get ahold of some tobacco, I'll try to get one a photo of me with my pipe whilst wearing the kilt.

    That may be the best kilted pic I have ever seen.

    Here is my first kilt. First time wearing it and a nice Brebbia Pipe my wife gave me about 8 years ago.


    BTW- My vote for one of the coolest kilt threads ever!

    Need some advice

    I like cigars. But most of my cigars take about 1.5 hours to smoke. Great when I'm on an extended walk with the dogs or just sitting about.

    Quite often, all I want to do is go out on the patio for about 20 minutes and relax a bit. So I've toyed with the idea of getting a pipe. That way one or two bowls of tobacco will do the trick( I'm assuming that's about how long a bowl of tobacco will last )

    I'm soliciting suggestions for types of pipes and tobacco.

    Thanks in advance
    Rich

    Hello Rich,

    I'm a fan of cigars as well but like you said you have to have some time set aside to be able to smoke it all. Relighting just isn't an option so if you don't have much time you have to smoke a robusto. The other thing that turned me onto pipes is once you purchase a good pipe, the tobacco is fairly inexpensive compared to that of a hand rolled cigar and I have had many more people come up to me complimenting me on the smell of my pipe than they have the smell of my cigar.

    I smoke my pipe daily on my commute home from work. The drive takes about 30 minutes and I can smoke about 2 bowls during that time. It works pretty well.

    As far as tobacco is concerned, I will give you a few of my favorites. If you are looking for a aromatic tobacco, one that has a good flavor and aroma as well try Sunset Breeze made by Peterson tobacco. This one will get a lot of compliments from those around you.

    Personally I'm not much into flavored tobaccos so If you are looking for a tobacco that smokes more like a cigar, try an English blend. One of my favorites is Frog Morton Across the Pond by McClelland tobacco. This is made with a blend of Virginias and Latakia tobacco. It is a good smoke.

    Both of these are pretty common and should be easy to find at a local smoke shop. When looking for a pipe just make sure you are buying a pipe made of Briar. Some pipe makers I suggest are Savinelli or Peterson. Both are good pipes that will last you many years and they are reasonably priced.

    I hope this information helps Rich. Best of luck in your quest for a pipe and tobacco. I look forward to seeing the photo of you kilted enjoying your new pipe.

    Slainte!
    Shawn
