Any pipe smokers?

[Tin Man]

It's something I've contemplated lately, but after checking out a few tobacco websites, I've found there seems to be even more of a variety than snus. Seriously, it gave me a headache. I've always loved the smell when someone's puffing away, and thought maybe a nice sunday evening smoke might be nice. Anyone here partake?

A pipe was the first thing I smoked regularly. I quit because the job I had wasn't conducive to pipe smoking maintenance. I would suggest a corn cob pipe to start. They're very inexpensive, and are actually one of the better pipe materials. I'd go to a tobacco shop, and get a recommendation from them. They'll let you try out the blends free, and can steer you towards a tobacco you might like.

I will be starting with a pipe next month. Someone here who is big into it, on all the pipe forums is setting me up. So maybe in a few months, I can offer some advice. :wink:

I got into pipe smoking over the last year as part of my tobacco use diversification program. I would highly recommend trying it out. I haven't smoked any of mine lately, but the knowledge gained and tobaccos enjoyed are well worth it IMO.

Well, lets see. I have an old wooden one that was my late grandfathers, its a black hardwood. I used to smoke tobacco with (now its in my herb pipe rotation, he nickname is Wesley Pipes). I have a sweet glass sherlock bubbler, a Hookah (turkish hookah, 3 draw lines from it) and a vapor genie. Yeah not tobacco pipes but pipes never the less.

What do you think of the Vapor Genie. Have one, the bane of my existence I call it

I do enjoy it, took awhile to get used to taking a good pull off of it. Only problem is, i get too stoned (well thats mostly my fault).

I have been interested in trying pipes, they're so dignified.

Do you inhale pipe tobacco?

You can do what you want, but it isn't customary to inhale. The smoke's very heavy, and would give your lungs a real workover if you inhaled too much.

NO Chad. I am told you will hurt your lungs badly if you do.

You don't need to inhale to get the nicotine. And I am also told that some pipe tobaccos will knock you on your a**.

I don't like the high. But for a while, I was still compulsively suing it as it got me to a certain place. I joked that it was to pot what crack was to cocaine. I have mostly stopped using it at all.

if you have a tinderbox near you get a oz of midnight its one of my favorite blends. very tasty.dont get a filtered pipe all the filter does is clog and make your smoke taste nasty. general rule to smoking a pipe is be slow and enjoy dont be puffing rapidly on it. i reccomend getting a cob pipe should be 5 dollars after tax and most shops throw in a free oz. also a pipe tool is a great investment and agien should be a couple dollars if that for a plain one. pipe cleaners are dirt cheap.[/url]

No need to inhale. The pH of cigar and pipe tobacco smoke can get up over 8, so it gets absorbed through your gums pretty much like snus.

You mainly do a "swish" with the smoke like tasting a fine wine.
