Hi Mike,
Congratulations - well done! Now just keep it going.
Since I managed to give up some years ago, I only smoke after ***, so not very often!

Hi Roy, the wife has been growing her own fruit and veg for years, the only thing is since we moved to Scotland we cannot grow a decent Cox's Orange pippin, and I love a pippin.

Ah, I thought I'd noticed the smell of *** smoke drop off a bit recently !!
I gave up a pipe too long ago now to remember, and it wasn't the nicotine loss I craved, but the habit of using the packing of the pipe, tamping it down, lighting it, etc as a distraction activity while I thought something out. And then there was the "dummy in the mouth" effect!
Whereabouts are you, Mike? COP's won't grow in Scotland and they are I believe not the easiest to grow anywhere. There are a number of Cox derivatives that do OK here if you're in the market for new trees - this guy may be worth contacting but sadly I see he's giving up. Interestingly a holding near me (Edinburgh area) has just put in a 250 tree orchard.

A works manager once asked me why I smoked a pipe Rob and I told him that it was a life saver.
He asked me to explain so I told him that by the time i had opened my pouch, stuffed my pipe, lit it and got it burning properly i had calmed down sufficiently that I no longer intended throttling him!
He also had no sense of humour BTW! :lol:

My old dad smoked a pipe (and anything else he could legally get hold of ) most of his life. His favourite was always one with a very short stem and big bowl that he called his 'nose warmer' :lol: - Rob

Thanks once again for all your support.
Roy I am sure that you never had an easy ride getting off prescription drugs
Bugbear we are saving for another trip over to the US next year :lol:
Rob, One day she will hopefully wake up and kick the habit [-o<
Thanks Miles :wink: unfortunatly the orange pippin's are non existent up here
Noel Sadly there is a huge side effect. Put it this way, if I was a woman it would look like I am 18 months over due, and the baby was refusing to come out :evil: But I am working on that. :roll:
Thanks Malc. The birds would say your hot stuff then
Hi Rob, I'm a fair way from you up along the coast in Fraserburgh. I have tried a number of different Cox's but sadly as yet I have not found any as good as the orange pippin :roll: I will drop that guy a email though because you never know.
Once again guys you support is much appreciated. Now if any of you can get me a supply of orange pippins I can go on a diet, because at the moment as Noel sussed out I am a bit front heavy :lol:
Cheers

Thanks mate, but now that that little beggar Noel tricked me to come out with my dreaded secret, I have to cut down on my food intake. :lol: The only trouble is food tastes so b£oody good these days that's going to be another battle in itself :roll:
Cheers

I was lucky, I didn't put on any weight, but my sense of taste and smell improved enormously.
I have heard it said that, over time any weight gain is eventually lost, dunno if that's true or not, perhaps someone else knows?

Digit - fairly early on in my pipe smoking career (taken up as two of us students thought it would be cool sitting on top of a mountain and having a quiet pipe - should have remembered that Scots mountain weather is not friendly enough for that) - anyway I was trying the Dutch type tobaccos which I seem to remember always tasted a bit like custard - my father's comment was that it smelt like something my mother put under her armpits!
The best one was giving a cadge of a strong 'anti-flies' pipe mix I was using in remote Turkish mountains to our horseman for his roll-up; he didn't come back for any more. :twisted:
