Jonnyni Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Its probably more cost effective to stick to the 'rastafarian old holborn' :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Angus Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Why not try drying out the skin of a bananna on the radiator. In my old army days it worked a treat. Once the skin is well an truely dried, scrape the inners into ur pipe an puff away. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiercel Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I seem to remember a old farmer telling me that they used to smoke Colts Foot when tobacco was in short supply. They would dry it out then rubb it into a ball and smoke it in a pipe. Never tried it myself but he recond it wasnt half bad. Its called dan derebol in welsh. You would recognise it as the rubarb type leaves that grow along the side of rivers in shady spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoggieman Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 R/E Country **** As a pipe smoker of many years I must have tried many types of tabacco and substitutes. Dried clover was popular just the heads laced with honey and shreaded apple peel it must be kept cool and compressed for a few days and smoked semi damp. I think the best value pipe fodder is the Craven range it smokes well and is cheap. I like Big Angus,es recipe for dried banana skins I wonder if he was the ****** who set fire to my bed at aldershot with just such a concoction I got 6 days jankers Ho happy days Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
