Another smoking props set? Could we at least get...?

Jeez, seems like we get [smoking] sets like these as often as we get new Gen 8 base figures now. In a couple of weeks or whenever someone decides it's time for a new one, could you at least consider including some fantasy pipes as well? Especially evil or fancy looking ones; I've got a dozen demonesses that need them and they're all using different morphed versions of a single free one from Rendo.

I know there's one in the G3 Bilbo-like character set and another in a Mabel witch set, but I'm a bit surprised there isn't at least one exclusive set of them.

    I agree. I am looking for a corncob pipe, and the only one I can find is for M4.

    I think there are enough cigarettes already.

    But the rolled joint in this product looks cool. Haven't seen one of those here.

    I will have to check out that Bilbo Baggins character for the pipe.

    Here are the two hobbit-like characters that I remember off the top of my head. Both come with pipes, the first one is very simple, the second is nice and has the kind of detail and interesting design I'd like to see more of (but also kinda dark-themed).

    One has to wonder if anyone at DAZ knows what the word paraphernalia means.  At the very least, I'd expect some lighters or matches, a cigarette pack, morphing versions of the cigar and cigarettetes (from fresh to stub as well as bent,) a huimidor and an ashtray.  Kind of like the smoking paraphernalia set at another site that's existed for 5 years and costs half the price even when it's not on sale.

    And, um, what about a hooka, bong and crack pipe?

    There's actually a set that fits the description of "paraphernalia" already in this store, it has an ashtray, lighters, and such. And yeah, $6 for a textured cylinder is a bit much.

    And double yes, would definitely like to see a hookah with Easypose. The crack pipe...eh, these are already bad habits, maybe we don't need to go THAT far.   ;)

    Variations on the look of cigarettes would be nice. When I saw the set this morning, I immediately looked in hopes of there being different textures. I actually had a gig this past week where I needed a white filtered cigarette and if there is a set in the store that has one, I missed it. Yes, I was able to get it to look how I needed it to and it didn't take that long, but I'd had gladly paid for something premade to save time.

    You do if you're specifically trying to illustrate a scene like that for a police or detective thriller type scene.  One of the biggest and most constantly crippling issues I've always have with how DAZ currates their inventory is that they've made it pretty much impossible to use DS to tell serious narrative stories without going to all the other stores in order to buy the everyday, real world props and clothing that DAZ doesn't.  And, given that I'm able to buy a lot of those things elsewhere from vendors who also sell here, it's definitely not a case of the the PAs not making things like that.

    The one I referred to above is at Rendo and goes on sale constantly for just $5.00  Yes, it's nominally for Poser, but converts to iray effortlessly, with the only tweaks needed being for the emmissise surfaces for the lit versions.

    I think a better suggestion might be to just have Maclean do one, as then there'd be a definitive and well thought out set.

    I agree a cigarette in different stages in length as it if it's being smoked same for cigars too.

    We need cannabis smoking paraphernalia. I’d like to see various bongs, pipes and different style joints, pre-rolls, etc... as well as edible cannabis gummies. And maybe a dispensary set similar to the store Mad Men (which looks like an Apple Store for canbabis.)

    ...hope it's not like our Apple store which is a high level security zone.

    Heh, and I don't want to see another set of smoking props and poses in this store until we get at least one set of fantasy pipes. If Zeddicus releases another smoking set in the next month, I'm going to assume they're working for Big Tobacco.   ;)

    does it have lipstick lips on it?
