Yes, that darn wind! Was it too windy to use a wind cap? I have a pipe that has one built into it as well as a few that I picked up pretty cheap to use with a cob while fishing.

I'm thinking it was. 25 mph and the river was acting as a tunnel. I don't think I could've even gotten a light.
I'm not familiar with wind caps.

Interesting. Looks like it would be difficult to attach to any pipe whose size and shape doesn't match it perfectly.

I'm full of my lunch and feel like smoking a pipe today but the weather is a little too cold and rainy for me to want to go outside. I could smoke in my car with the windows cracked, but that's not necessarily as fun...
I'm not sure about the exact one you are showing from P&C but, the one's that I have adjust to fit most any pipe.I'm not familiar with wind caps.

See the two flanges in this picture? They should push in, mine do anyway.
Truthfully it's rare that I use them but they work in a pinch since I smoke outside full time.
That's the way all of mine work also. The flanges are attached to a spring inside. That picture makes it difficult to see how they work.

I bought a pack of them off of some Chinaman (but that's not the issue here, Dude).
For the most part they'll fit standard pipes. Usually indie pipes are a little tough like my Tinsky's and especially freehand pipes because the rim isn't flat for the most part.
They have this style and one with less holes. This style is better at fitting larger pipes, FWIW
Here is random for you- do you think it weird that I was practicing my "using a pipe to stress a point in a conversation" technique?
It has to come naturally, otherwise it seems strained.
Not at all 
Owen FWIW I already do it, and I'm green as the grass when it comes to pipe smoking.
I point my pipe at bad drivers and shout obscenities in Japanese all the time. 
I didn't realize you were practicing, I thought you were using it to actually stress a point.
I thought whenever you do anything you are practicing....just look at doctors they are always "practising" aren't they?

I want to laugh, I really do.
That is why I only pipe gesture alone right now- got to get it down
I gotta say I only had a couple friends before I joined here, now I feel I have a bunch! Thanks to all you guys always being here.
I've posted this short story before, but worth a read for the newer guys on how to get the most from a pipe.
