Pipe

[Toddy]

Makes you wonder though..........it would be a brilliant way to keep an ember of fomes or suchlike alive and burning slow to carry fire on a journey............how long do we think folk have 'actually' smoked ? Original tobacco is no where near as addictive or polluting as the modern heavily adulterated cigarette stuff.

I hasten to add I'm not advocating it; just wonderin'

cheers,

I imagine the first pipes must have been fire lighting aids, then some brainiac decided to inhale (unlike Bill Clinton) and it's been downhill ever since.
