Feel free to post tobaccos (no weed allowed), pipes, collections, pics of favorite combos for going /out/, pics of what you're doing with your pipe and any questions you might have.
Want to get into smoking pipes without spending too much cash?
Get a Missouri Meerschaum Legend corncob pipe and a pouch of either Prince Albert, Carter Hall or Half and Half tobacco, available at most drugstores.
What you'll need: pipe, tobacco, lighter or matches, pipe cleaners, and either a regular old nail or a pipe tool (combination tamper, scoop, and small pick).
All of these together should run you less than $20.
Having trouble keeping your pipe lit? Fill it with less tobacco and smoke it slower than you think you need to, lightly tamping as needed when the smoke starts thinning out.
If you're still having trouble, try filling your pipe this way:

Currently 32 days of no tobacco, 2 days ago I was able to downgrade from the 4mg nicotine gum to the 2mg nicotine gum.
Anyway, I tried snus some years ago, but had built up enough of a tolerance to nicotine that I literally ended up with the entire can of them in my mouth at once. Both top and bottom lips completely lined--they don't contain the same amounts of nicotine as long-cut chewing tobacco (which delivers it slower than fine cut, which delivers it slower than snorted snuff).

Anonymous
>>1102521 You only put it into the freezer for 15 mins or so.
The plastic or rubber in the mouthpiece contracts more than the wood does, so it can be used to separate stubborn mouthpieces from stems for cleaning when dealing with a pipe that's been neglected for awhile.
>>1102593 I'd just try cleaning the mortise and tenon area more thoroughly first.
After all, it fit ok when it was in there originally. That makes me think it's just tat deposits that are keeping everything from fitting together now.
I also just sanded a tenon on one of my pipes a little too much, and now it doesn't hold together in the stem very well. So don't do what I just did wrong.

>>1102310 I mean wilsons of sharrow in the pic related is the closest to classic snuff you can get if you're going for the traditional route.

Think about it: like coffee, tobacco is full of light flavorful oils that give it its flavor. Also like coffee, those flavorful oils also go rancid very quickly. And when they do, they make your pipe smell and taste like a rotten version of what you smoked last.
If you plan on smoking the same stuff again soon, you can get away with using a dry pipe cleaner or two between bowls, but I would recommend a thorough cleaning before setting your pipe down for any length of time.

As for aromatics, try some more premium offerings. I love CAO's Moontrance (fruit and bourbon), and Bella Vanilla is supposed to be very good as well. Casey Jones Last Ride is a cherry and caramel blend that is both affordable and much better than what you can normally find at your local drugstore. Other premium aromatics are Cult's Blood Red Moon, and Mac Baren's Vanilla Cream.
For something more off the beaten path, try some Lakeland aromatics, which use floral essences for flavorings. Some famous examples are Gawith and Hoggarth's Bosun Cut Plug (chocolate and rose), and. Ennerdale Flake (fruit, vanilla, almond, and flowers), as well as Samuel Gawith's (different maker) Grousemoor blend (lemongrass). They are very fine quality and quite popular, but be warned: these blends can leave a strong ghost in a pipe and are very love-it-or-hate-it flavors. Some adore them, others think the flavors taste like soap. Be sure to try them in a cob first to see if you like them before putting it into a pipe you care about.

What's a blend out there that's a bit sweeter than Frog Morton? Perhaps an aromatic as well?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>1105780 Try Drew Estate Gatsby Flake. It's a very mild Virginia-based aromatic that's topped with a simple sweet flavor and is best when rubbed out.
It was a little too mild and sweet for my taste, but I like gigantic flavors on the bitter side of things like 965, Magnum Opus and Nightcap. Given that, it might be right up your alley.

Hey guys this is my first post in this thread. Maybe about two months ago I saw this thread pop up and I browsed it for a few weeks and I finally decided to purchase a pipe and some tobacco (SWR in the 1.5 oz pouch). Pic related is the pipe, I painted it and gave it a neat texture by carefully using a jet lighter to almost boil the paint as it was drying.
My wife's mother got me into smoking cigars, and I've smoked cigars for a little over a year now and enjoy that immensely. I remember an ancient groundskeeper near my home as a child smoking pipes and that's always left an impression on how relaxed he seemed at work with the pipe hanging from his mouth and smoke billowing around him as he cut the lawns and trimmed the hedges. I loved that and now I also love this hobby. In fact, last night I purchased a 311 KS from Savinelli (I'll post pics when it arrives) to upgrade from this hardwood pipe.
I just wanted to thank you guys for helping me get into this hobby! But I'm worried about the health effects on my body. I'm very /fit/ and think of my body as a gift from God, but I see no harm from smoking in moderation (1 cigar a week, maybe 1 or 2 bowls a week). Can anyone verify the following link?

It's supposed to be used like a cigar, but since the pipe tobacco bits aren't as long as cigar filler tobacco, it doesn't hold together very well. You have to roll the cob "cigar" around to get it to burn evenly and ash will keep falling out.
If you can't use a pipe, it'll do in a pinch. If you can, an actual pipe works infinitely better.

>>1108928 points out, aromatics are the worst about ghosting and unflavored cavendish blends (as rare as those are) are the least likely to because they're so mild. Generally though it's not an issue with your unflavored or lightly cased tobaccos regardless of perceived strength and I generally don't worry about it with (straight unflavored) cavendish, virginia, burley, or latakia blends.
>how new the pipe is If the bowl doesn't have enough cake it will absorb flavors worse.
>how clean the pipe is If the cake is poorly maintained or if there's a lot of non-cake residue in the pipe (especially the stem and tenon) it will absorb flavors worse.

>>1109391 So I did like the whole churchwarden thing for a sit-down smoke and I think this pipe would be absolute comfy for a hike if you could pack it cautiously, but does the taste improve with cake buildup and break in? I liked how dry a smoke it was but the flavor was not as full as my briars.

To actually hurt your eye you would need to hold it up above your eye inline with the sun, and focus in on it, if that makes sense? hope that helps in any case.

I smoked dry blends very infrequently and pretty much exclusively off my (covered) barracks balcony so it never got directly wet.
I will not discount the possibility of a lemon or bad batch but if a hand pressed pipe from one of the most well respected and oldest makers was defective as a whole in material that's an even bigger condemnation of the medium.

>>1110619 If you've only got the one pipe, use what you've got for now. But longer term, different pipes for different types of blends will give you the best results.
Latakia, a type of smoked tobacco used in Frog Morton and LOTS of other non-aromatic blends, is infamous for leaving its distinctive flavor behind (aka "ghosting") in whatever pipes are used to smoke it. So, for that matter, do many stronger-flavored aromatics.
Cobs are better than most others at not holding these flavors, but things can still taste weird for a couple of bowls.

Also our healthcare model isnt failing, but our hospitals are under immense pressure right now because our shifting neo-liberal governments are forcing austerity politics (2%) onto them in order to ruin the healthcare system from within and then put the blame on the model as such.
>trying to normalize showing ID everytime you want to buy something But Madsen, this is only going to be a problem for the 18-21 year olds who gets mistaken for minors.
Our tobacco prices mey be a little high, but that's only because we're so rich to begin with. I think you'll find DK to be one of the more lenient countries in the west regarding tobacco/alcohol.

If you use it to mark an occasion every once in a while it can be a very good thing and will never cause you any more harm than anything else.
If you do it weekly, or god forbid daily, you are fucked, it will eventually kill you, you are weak and should quit it forever before you loose control.

And youre not inhaling so theres no COPD/CHF risk.

>>1112707 >cancer That’s the risk you run, but if the studies are to be believed, that risk is minimal for most people who are occasional smokers (1-2 bowls, 1-3x per week). At that level, your risk is 5% higher than the cancer risk for a nonsmoker.
For reference, a pack a day cigarette smoker has over a 1600% greater cancer risk than a nonsmoker.
So it’s not healthy, but you can see for yourself just how unhealthy it is.
Now that you know, you can make up your own mind for yourself whether that level of risk is acceptable to you or not.

Regular (white) is a vanilla flavor, gold is honey, Red is cherry, and blue is fruit and caramel. Haven’t tried black yet, guess I need to.

>>1114154 Not a smoker but saw this while scrolling. Figured I'd save the pipebros from wasting their time replying to your shitpost. Pipe tobacco comes in multitudes of quality artisanal options from all around the world, many of which use processes steeped in centuries of tradition. Cigarette tobacco is the absolute cheapest foulest trash you can smoke short of gummi bear flavored shisha. You're smoking garbage.

>>1114428 Not hard at all to do. Tobacco is the original weed. It’s naturally pest resistant, frost tolerant, low maintenance and grows well just about anywhere.
Just takes time.
Get some going now and you’ll have bunches of leaves drying out by the new year.

https://www.leafonly.com/pipe-tobacco-leaf/tobacco-shredders/tobacco-leaf-shredder-cutter Each tobacco plant produces about 100g of tobacco after curing and removing the middle rib from the leaves. So after 2 plants are done and processed you’re money ahead.

>>1101532 Hi guys. I'm looking for some advice. I'd like to get into tobacco pipes as something to add to my outdoor activities. What sort of questions should I ask when I'm looking at stuff? What should I look for in a pipe and in the tobacco? I smoke weed almost everyday, so tobacco tastes like shit to me. Taste and harshness are important. I really like long Sherlock looking pipes, but I don't know if that's something I should start with or not.
And before no weed allowed. I know, it was relevant though.
