I am a pipe smoker/collector (there, I've said it).
I wonder if there are any pipe or cigar smokers and collectors on Free Republic with whom we can correspond.
As long as it’s ‘pipes’ and not ‘poles’, you’re okay with me...........................
Keep up the good work.
I don’t smoke a pipe but my late husband did, as did several other members of my family. I miss the smell of pipe tobacco in the house. I bought a candle that had tobacco notes and that helped.
I do smoke a pipe occasionally. has to be coolish weather, though.
I collect Holland shoe pipes. Wish I knew how to post a picture. Cute little things. oh, and the stands they go in.
I smoked one, too; but alas when I lost my last two teeth, it was over.
I never smoke in the house as the tobacco smells turn stale after awhile.
You have.my condolences. Several of my uncles and great uncles were pipe smokers, and I have some pictures of my great grandfather smoking a pipe. I never met him. He was murdered in the Holocaust at the age of 90.
Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it.
My wife likes my pipe smoking, and has bought me several pipes.
Sorry....I’m a cigar guy.....
Tried a pipe but found it too much work...
However, love the smell of pipe tobaccos.....
I am an old preppie, and back in the day seniors were allowed to smoke pipes (but not cigarettes or cigars) in the dorms.
So—almost all of us smoked a pipe that year. :-)
These days I smoke cigars.
I’ve been known to enjoy a good cigar.
Smoking an H. Upman right now in my home office......
Smoking some Dunhill Elizabethan in a Ser Jacopo calabash shaped pipe.
I’ve been smoking pipes (and occasional fine cigars) since 1957!
blend my own, 12 oz. half & half with 4 oz. latakia 1 oz. perique. goes well in any of the 30 or so pipes I have collected over the years.

The trick is getting the URL of the image. Flickr is not for the novice in that respect (requires viewing the image source page and knowing which line of HTML to copy. Not hard, if you understand what .jpg is), but has been a solid image hosting site for me for over a decade.
I’ve not used PostImages, so I can’t speak to its nature for ease of use to post here or elsewhere.
If you click on the HTML Sandbox link in the home screen header here at FR,
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3378678/posts
you can post comments to your heart’s content to practice posting images (it’s what it’s there for) or anything else HTML related.
Don’t be hesitant to ask for assistance of others, but what I’ve placed here will get you started.
Consider it a challenge: I’m curious about your pipes. Worst case, you can create an Album at Flickr and share the link here, but that wasn’t to the heart of your question.
