SmokingDespite alarmist messages from the Nanny State to the contrary, it is an undisputable fact that smoking raises levels of self-esteem, panache and gung-ho. During these times of economic austerity,
such qualities are likely to put Blightly back on its feet - and if they don't, surely it is better to watch the ship go down with a heady Navy Shag swirling around one's nostrils?

Brown Study
|
The first of a series of pipe tobacco blends created exclusively by The Chap, Brown Study is an aromatic blend with a pungent, fruity aroma with hints of vanilla. It is best consumed in the confines of one's study when a contemplative mood is required, though can also be used as a revolutionary tool outside hostelries, to keep the Lambert & Butler-clutching hordes away from one's personal cloud of anarcho-dandyism. | |

Brown Study Tobacco Tin
|
Those of us who smoke our own preferred loose tobacco blend might like to use the Chap Tobacco tin to store their previous shag in. Non smokers may also use it to store valuable items such as cufflinks, gold sovereigns or, in the case of the fair sex, secret lady things that gentlemen should never see. | |

Straight Billiard Pipe
|
A classic Billiard-style straight briar which would prove ideal for a first pipe. Suitable both for posturing at events such as Goodwood Revival and Henley Regatta, and for smoking while doing odd jobs around the house. |
Saddle-stemmed Billiard Pipe
|
Similar to the above but with a bevelled stem, giving this pipe a more vintage feel. The sort of pipe one would have seen sticking cheerily out of the jaw of a soccer spectator circa 1947. |
|
Straight Bulldog Pipe
|
Sometimes a straight pipe is simply too straight. Those of us with creative tendencies crave a few more angles and a tad more perspective. In short, this is the pipe for an architect or an inventor of labour-saving devices. | |
|
Bent Billiard Pipe
|
Once we get into the bent pipes, we are entering an entirely new realm. The bent pipe symolises thoughtful reflection, relaxation and philosophical speculation. This pipe, while ideal for a post-prandial smoke in the library, would be throroughly impractical if laying floorboards. | |
