I really like my after dinner Pipe or Cigar and a wee dram. Which brings into Question how damaging is pipe or cigar smoke to trophies. We are not talking archival here I won’t last more than another half century anyway a hundred and fifteen is old enough for any one. I believe things are to be enjoyed not just possessed What do you think. Doyle "He must go -- go -- go away from here! On the other side the world he's overdue.

Howdy Doyle, Exposure to cigar, cigarrete, or pipe smoke will stain and "yellow" your trophies. I don not know of any way to get around it. If the fur quality of your trophies is of little importance then puff away and don't sweat the small stuff. Good luck and adios. | |||

Why not just puff away outside instead of in your trophy room?  _______________________________________________________ Hunt Report - South Africa 2022 Wade Abadie - Wild Shot Photography Website | Facebook | Instagram | |||

Personally, I think sipping a wee dram of a good Single Malt Whisky, such as a 28 year old Inchmurrin, actually makes your tropies look better! Rusty We Band of Brothers!

On the practical side - enjoy your trophies, the memories and the wee dram. On the reality side - your trophies, as well as mine, will be sold in a garage sale a week after we die. So enjoy them for what they are - a great memory. | |||

I had a business aquantance ask me if i would be interested in his grandfathers zebra skin rug. It was taken some time in the 1940's and is really beautiful. I bought it from him and when i opened the box and unrolled it, my w2hole office smelled like warm pipe tabacco. It brought back a lot of memories of my own grandfathers pipe. I wish the smell had never gone away! Mark Jackson  | |||

DH, you might try to install a ventilation system with the fan directly over where you sit to smoke your cigar. They have fans that suck the smoke out. ES, one doesn't puff on a cigar, one smokes a cigar. Lo do they call to me, They bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla, Where the brave may live forever. | |||

Well, even if it does ruin the trophies, that's just an excuse to go back and get some more!!! | |||

Wanna got the right idea. "D" Although cartridge selection is important there is nothing that will substitute for proper first shot placement. Good hunting, "D" | |||

The whole Idea of a Throphy Room, is to sit smoke a good cigar or a pipe full and drink a dram or two of what ever you like to drink, be it Single Malt, Uncle Jack or god forbid California Red. Its suppose to be a retreat at the end of the day. Now bullets hurt those throphies more than a cigar ever would. So pour yourself a dram light a good cigar and crack open a volume of Rudyard Kipling and think of bygone days. | |||

George and Rusty have said it well.  Good ventilation will help. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||
