    Right I'm not talking about something outta funkit here...

    What I'm after is a proper old fashioned briar wood pipe.

    I was just wondering if anyone in Waterford is still in the trade of making and or just selling them because otherwise it looks like i'll be taking a trip to Peterson's in Dublin.

    If I'm right(and dont quote me on this cos I aint no pipe smoker) but I believe Phelans on O'Connell St was the only place, and that's been gone a while now(used to buy wallets in there).
    Looks like its a trip to Capital city :-(

    I know world wide wines sells pipes and stuff but don't know if they have the pipe you're looking for.I heard the camping/army store on the quay sell pipes as well so might be worth your while checking them out.

    The only place I can remember seeing them was the quays on the quay but they dont have em anymore, i'll try out the army shop and world wide wines though and see how we go!

    World Wide Wines sell Peterson Pipes and Peterson tobacco. The Sherlock Holmes blend is a very nice one.

    Isn't there a place in Georges Street that sells that kind of thing (and lock/keys etc) or did I imagine it?

    Get some skinny jeans and a trilby too, might as well go for the full douche look :P :D

    Can't wait till I'm old and I can wear a hat and smoke a pipe without being labelled as 'trendy' :cool:

    I wish i was a kid again so i could shoplift and tell them my name was Al Zheimer. If only I had realised when I was a kid that you can get away with anything......

    world wide wines is the spot for tabacco , pipe cleaners etc. also they have a small selection of pipes on display in there but I would suggest you buy online. ebay is fantastic for picking up nice and sometimes unusual pipes on the cheap for your collection. Remember you will need a seperate pipe for each type of tabacco you try so buying a couple of cheaply priced pipes on ebay is the way forward for anyone new to the pipe scene. On a side note - make sure to try sweet kilarney tabacco - its excellent and www stock it.
