Cigarette pipe? Before seeing this thread I didn't know that such a thing existed. Now that I do, I want one. Since I gave away smoking tobacco I have been looking for something to replace the classic mixed joint and the ciggie pipe looks perfect.

I had a look at a couple of places and they mention spring loading... but aren't 100% sure what they mean. Is it a spring loaded eject for the pipe, making it easy to remove from the timber case or a spring loaded filler?

Also, like the OP, NDhawk, I'm interested to know if they can be effectively loaded directly from the dugout. That would be a real asset. I spend a far bit of time at a location that is under constant video surveillance, detection by smell is not an issue but, effective, discreet loading would definitely be an asset.
