Although if she wants to know if I have a 'Prince Albert' .........

Put that in your pipe and smoke it

Gave up smoking in 2002 after approx 24 years as a pipe smoker. Still got a dozen or so pipes in a draw.

Used to in my twenties. Always loved the smell of ‘Clan’, was the only one I smoked. Wonder if it’s still available?

I remember a bloke smoking it in my local pub in the 1980's. A lovely sweet smell,if i remember rightly.

My late father smoked a pipe so all the bits and pieces in our garage were organised in tobacco tins. So I associate the smell of tobacco with being out there working on my bike.

Charles Bronson was a pipey like me. Who'd have thunk it?

Which one are you comparing yourself to - the actor or "the most violent criminal in Britain"?

The thespian!

I've smoked a pipe on and off - currently off - for a few years.

My baccy of choice is cherry and vanilla aromatic.

A few years ago I had a puff in a small pub in the Lake District.

I stopped, partly because the fog wasn't clearing in the low ceiling room.

"That's enough of that," I said to my mate.

The woman on the next table caught my eye.

"Oh," she said. "I was rather hoping you'd light up again because I like the aroma."

Yes, exactly the same for me. Loads of bits and bobs in "Three Nuns" tins. I have his old desk as well, and the drawers still let out a waft of pipe tobacco when they are opened as it seeped into the wood over the years.

My dad used to smoke a pipe, he didn’t have one jumper without burn holes down the front
