Sounds great! The Swedish pipe club always sends a team to these events so I get to read about it later in the club magazine. Has anyone here tried slow-smoking a pipe just for fun? Just two matches allowed.

[cacrow]

I tried this when I first started smoking pipes. Needless to say, I was cheating with a 3rd (4th, 5th, 6th...) match before the bowl was half gone.

I bet I'd do better at it now, especially if it was a blend with which I was familiar.

[Flieger671]

Yeah, It must be nerve wrecking to do it with a new pipe, new tobacco and the peer pressure from your team mates!

[SRPenzanceLaphroaig]

Sounds like fun, sure would be nice excuse to visit Portugal.

Cheers

Please do.

I think it would be worth a visit. According to Google it is a 7 hour drive for me!

[RequiemPipes]

Yes, Alan, come. Great food & wines, and magnificent places to visit, like Sintra (google it out)

[Milverton68]

I hope you will be entering mate ;-)

[RequiemPipes]

I don´t think so, Tim. I'll go there but will spend my time doing other things (also, I think I could be the first one to let the pipe out, which would be an embarresment)
