I agree about hookah. I'll never touch cigarettes again, but hookah is always a glorious experience. I always used to go out to hookah lounges with friends after long days at work and oh, how splendid it was to sit back in a plush easy chair and puff on that stuff. And the nicotine... don't even get me started on the nicotine hit!

And yes, it is by far the best for blowing smoke rings. I don't currently own a hookah, but one of these days (when I have sufficient funds) I will undoubtedly purchase one for my home.

Haven't smoked hookah since summertime. I'm starting to miss it.

Re: I finely ran outta black and milds

I am on day two, and have broke down and smoked a bowl of pipe tobacco in the late eve, only use snus, kinda feel at a lost, reaching for smokes. I have found that sometimes durring the day I have two portions in mouth at the same time, but gonna try hard this time to get off the smokes

Ringdoc - Don't be too hard on yourself. It's still early days. I found the more I used Snus the more I grew to love it and eventually actually preferred it to cigarettes.

I've never been a pipe smoker, but I've had a few shisha pipes which I've not lost a love for.

They make such beautiful, thick, heavy smoke - greatest pipes for blowing rings, bar none :lol: The tobaccos for them all taste fantastic as well - Egyptian tobaccos are the most popular, but the Lebanese make the tastiest, imo.

thats probably pretty good advice, and so what if it takes longer to stop, I have cut way back. was smoking 2 or more packs of em aday, thanks for words of encouragement

Nice going, you need to hang tough. I wouldn't worry about the pipe. A little bit of anything really isn't going to hurt you much. Even cigarettes are safe for occasional use. Just don't get carried away with the smoking and go full bore again.

I have enjoyed my pipes over the years, mostly in the cooler months, but unlike a fine cigar I do inhale the pipe, , one day at a time thats all I can do for myself

Nothing wrong with the occasional bowl of pipe tobacco, my friend. I've completely given up cigarettes, but I still smoke my pipe sometimes, maybe once or twice in a week. It's just nice to sit back and puff on a pipe sometimes.
