Two, very contrasting, packages waiting for me at home this afternoon...

Someone on Instagram mentioned that she was running out of wooden blanks for her spoon carving and it so happened I'd obtained a couple of car boot worths of lime; I wanted it for woodturning but it turned out to be too fibrous - however it is sought after for carving. So I posted her down a shoebox full of blanks... she'd posted me some spoons a few months ago but these left me speechless:

The second was a Danish two-wheeler, capable of some light off-road duties...

I had a Falcon pipe with three screw on bowls, apple bowl and two other shapes ( forgot the names now)
It was a bent style stem, I used to buy the little pads for the condensate at the bottom of the bowl , or use rolled pipe cleaner.
E pipe mostly nowadays..

The falcon in my pic uses the filters in the stem, could never get on with the cleaners in the bowl.

I'd be sticking with the latter. I love my pipe smoking way too much to pack it in.

Thought I would give the vape a try, time will tell whether I get on with it or not.

just jack them in . I smoked 60 a day for 20 years and spent over 20 grand on fags stopped for an hour and it was a record never had one since in last 25 years

Picked up this in lid ltoday, if it doesn't get burnt up I think it'll make a good straight edge for the plasma.

@Hood if you find flavours you like it's a nice relax,

Gave up smoking 50g of amber leaf every 2 days around 4 years ago now. After smoking for nearly 13 years was hard.
But did help for the craving part for the first couple of month''s
I have a sweet tooth and have creme Brule flavour at the moment and twister ice lolly which I can pick up and just use for the flavours now.

@brightspark it is scary the amount of money you find to smoke yet dont seem to have it once given up, found out I spent something silly like £2000 a year on it but still no richer now

Keep the nic high. Most people dro

Yup smoked about the same.
Didnt want to give up so switched for my kids benefit.

High nic and a decent mod and tank/dripper were critical for me.

Noticed a hugh benefit in my health over the first month.

Shame tpd ruined making my own juices. Have to make do with whats on the shelves these days.
