Favorite Out-in-the-Woods Pipe

[Coastie3202]

While fishing, I always carry two pipes for different situations.

One pipe, a Dr Grabow Starfire, was gifted to me, by my good friend Coastie who is also a member on this forum. He rusticated it for me and it's especially for fishing. Thanks again Coastie, if you happen to read this.

But the second pipe is for when it's windy. It's a cob and I have to use a jet flame lighter with it to keep it lit. I don't mind scorching the rim of the cob with the jet flame but, of course, I wouldn't use it on the briar pipe. I use a wind cap on the cob.

The lighter is a dual flame one by Jobon, perfect for fishing.

Thanks HM. I always enjoy sending pipes to you when I get the opportunity. Stay tuned my friend as more will be coming, hopefully soon.

My favorite outdoor pipe has got to be my MM Great Dane Spool with bamboo shank and Forever stem.

Dramatwist,

Similar to your Falcon, my backpacking pips is usually a Kirsten.  




Two bowls (filled) radiator stem, mini-Bic, Czech tool, pipe cleaners, and enough tobacco to fill about 10 more bowls all fits in that little green bag.  The puro is 5 1/4 robusto for size.

Dunhill 1970's Shell group 3 billiard.  It's got a cracked shank (banded), and part of the bowl was cracked off (rebonded).  Both repaired nicely.  Incredibly light with a deep blast.  Possibly my best smoker, too.  My only remaining Dunhill.

But I'd honestly rather roll my own with some nice Stokkebye shag of some type.  Playing with a dog, farting around with scrambling, and whatnot seems like I'm always banging into my pipe with my hand or something.  I'm not a cigarette smoker, but a couple of RYOs on a hike is a nice accent to the experience.

I've considered such steps myself.

Well, if'en I could do all those things I reckon it be one of my cobs.
Just wouldn't trust myself with a nice pipe while out whooping it up.

I'm not up to those activities myself anymore. Maybe fishing once in a while...

On the rare ocassion I manage to make it out to the Woods I always like to take my Bully with me, it's a quick smoke pipe and has endured some pretty heavy duty abuse over the years.

My Bully underwent a bit of a transformation a while back, prior to altering it I never really thought much of it but as soon as I had finished tarting him up I went through a really weird phase where I was loathe to fill him up and smoke him again. My much loved Brothers here afforded me the fortitude to pull my finger out of the dark place and just smoke him again, something I am exceedingly grateful for as my Bully not only smokes just as well as he always did he also looks rather dashing now too.

Here's a before and after shot of Bully:

As you can see he was a rather plain and drab looking effort prior to giving him a make-over but now he's rather easy going on the eye, well, I love him anyway so there it is.

I have a well-loved pipe very similar to Bully. Really old. Probably wouldn't chance an outing with it.

Best,

Admirable transformation there... beautiful pipe!

Nothing says "Smoke Me Outdoors" like a Barktree!
