I really need to add a pipe to my kit, seeing as smoking pipeweed is Bree's one comtribution to Middle-earth culture!
As an aside, Rarnir and Derrek, I noticed this is the first topic y'all have posted in - you should start up a thread to introduce yourselves so we can welcome you properly!

Re: Pipe smoking
I had an old account and forgot all of my information ha ha. But I'd probably only posted less than 10 times anyways. I'm currently working on some kit so when I get it together I'll post some pictures.
Thanks for the welcome though!

Re: Pipe smoking
Ah yes, I had forgotten about that! Yeah, that sounds pretty straightforward. I will have to try my hand at it sometime.Greg wrote:The efficient way to go about that is to skip the whole "fire-lighting" step. JBook touched on this in an Edge of the Wild issue last year (Winter edition, I believe), but all you have to do is get a spark on your charred material with your flint & steel and toss the glowing ember in the top of your pipe. Put your flint over the mouth of the pipe to keep things from flying away, and then puff in and out rapidly on the pipe to get the ember glowing hot, lighting the top of your packed leaf. Works great.

Re: Pipe smoking
BTW I am starting to make some new pipes, let me know what it is you are looking for, I would truly enjoy making some very custom pipes for my Folk at Merf! A Dwarven pipe and the Halfling's leaf is a match blessed by the Valar!
