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:

Anyone had any experience with Dunhill's nightcap? It tastes like musty church and muskol...Ive put it in a few jars to see if the flavor goes anywhere with time.

>>1175043 If you do it correctly you'll find that there is a bit of an art to it. The ritualistic nature of it forces you to slow down and take your time with it, almost like an act of meditation. A lot of people that try it at first aren't very good at it so they experience bad taste, tongue bite, and ashtray mouth afterward and they don't pursue it for very long. But once you get the hang of it you'll learn how to get cool smoke that has a variety of flavors without tasting scorched or hot. There is a pleasant room note and after aroma that is unlike that of cigarettes and cigars. I often get compliments on the smell long after I finish a pipe. I've even had a few women ask what type of cologne I was wearing after smoking and going out in public later in the day much to my surprise. It is true that it is not a healthy activity, but far less harmful than cigarettes and even cigars and other smokeless tobacco products. I don't experience any real effects from the nicotine but I value the time I get to spend relaxing and thinking while smoking my pipes. Just imagine all of the brilliant ideas that came about as smart men sat contemplating life and things like e=mc2 behind their pipes.
In a nutshell.

>>1175043 I do it for a few reasons.
1. I love woodworking and collecting things. I make pipes and collect old ones to restore.
2. My grandpa did it. And my great uncle, his brother. As a kid I remember the pleasant smell from my g-uncle and knew I'd be piping when I was an old man. My first pipe was my gpa's. I never smoked it, but I puff on it every now and then and taste the same tobacco my grandfather smoked. My grandfather died long before I was born and this feels like something I can share with him.
3. Good taste, good smell. Lower risks compared to other tobacco products. A cheap hobby to get in to.
4. As others have said, the relaxing ritual. You can't really do much else with a pipe but sit and relax. Pair it w a nice drink and a book or maybe a radio show. It burns for about an hour. You are basically guaranteeing yourself a pleasant hour.

Bought a fairly cheap setup the other day. Excited to use it, but afraid of getting sick using tobacco for the first time. I really don't wanna puke and ruin pipe smoking for myself. Any tips on how to avoid?
Anonymous
>>1175195 Well, I love pipe smoking and I spent my first few times after I smoked on my bed trying to calm my stomach time, or in the toilet, retching my guts up, but then I originally bought it to smoke only a few times a year and loved the taste and did a few silly things as well when first getting used to it, so I didn't mind this so much.
My advice is to pack smaller bowls to start with and take it slow; only smoke one bowl a day and don't be tempted to smoke another until you build up a bit of tolerance. This was my mistake first time. First bowl was nice, so I had another even if I was puffing and relighting a lot. That one too was very pleasant, so I had a third; then the nausea hit me. Just keep it to one a day when you're starting out if you don't want to make yourself sick.
Make sure you pick a tobacco that's quite mild in nicotine and doesn't have any cloying aromatic flavour. People keep saying it, but Dunhill Standard is practically perfect for getting people into pipe smoking an is recommended for a reason. Make sure you have a drink with you; something sweet is recommended for beginners but a cup of tea or coffee will also do just fine. Typically for me at least, I felt fine during the pipe, then it was nausea afterwards. This will pass in time, in an hour or so if you do feel sick, maybe a bit more or a bit less depending on your own tolerances and the tobacco smokes.
Take your time; this can't be stressed enough. Don't try to puff away and make huge clouds of smoke, once you have it lit and have taken some draws to keep it lit, you want light sips at the stem, as if you were tasting whisky or another spirit. Don't be afraid to let the pipe go out; it's perfectly fine to relight.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>1175209 The idea of a perfect pipe is great and sometimes it even happens, but most pipes I smoke, I end up having to relight at least once and in my experience, perfect pipes happen when you don't try or expect it; you'll light a pipe, not need a charring light as it'll be going and you'll end up smoking the bowl without it going out. As a beginner, you will definitely be relighting that pipe, but don't worry about it. Just take it slow and steady and don't try to suck in too much or make big clouds; it's fun, sure but you lose the taste of much of the tobacco and more importantly, you'll be taking a lot more smoke into your mouth and possibly your lungs, which will make you sick if you're not used to smoking.
Another piece of advice would be to smoke your first pipe in a very pleasant setting so to make the experience very lovely regardless of whether you feel sick afterwards; I smoked my first pipe on a hot late spring day in a beautiful garden with a book and a pot of tea. Reinforce the fact that it's a nice thing you're doing.
Your biggest concerns as a new pipe smoker won't be the problems of the nicotine hit anyway; it will be how to pack and keep the pipe lit as you smoke it; there's plenty of guides out there on the internet for this, but ultimately it comes down to practice and experience; when I first started, I'd spend ages trying to pack it just right, smoke at the right tempo, tamping constantly, etc, etc. Now I don't even really think about it as I load the pipe, light and puff. You get to know by feel and draw instantly how to do it properly, but it takes a few months at the least to get to that stage.

Not really /out/, but I bought this for my desk; previously I was just keeping matches in a shot glass and using some sandpaper to light them on; this looks better and means I won't be faffing around looking for a striking surface each time while keeping my desk clean of matchboxes and scraps of sandpaper.

>>1175195 Welcome.
1) Don’t inhale.
Pipe smoking is more about the flavor than the high. Bring the smoke into your mouth, try to smell it and get all the flavor you can before letting it back out.
2) If you start to feel a little dizzy or nauseated, stop. You’ll get some nicotine in you and it’ll make you feel good, but too much and you’ll start to feel unsteady and a little upset in the stomach. That’s the first sign you’ve had too much.
3) Go slow. Not only will this keep you from getting too much too quickly, it will help the stuff you’ve got taste better. Pipe tobacco tastes best when it’s just about to go out. Take light puffs slowly and you’ll get the best experience possible.

Quoted By:
>>1175209 >retching my guts up When I first started smoking cigars, I would often get the symptoms of nicotine poisoning when I smoked too much or too fast. Eventually discovered that fighting off the nausea was a waste of time and felt absolutely awful, whereas throwing up killed the nausea and cleared up the worst of the symptoms almost immediately. It was like a miracle. Still confused about it, since it's nicotine in the bloodstream that is causing the effects, not anything in the stomach. Might just be me, but my smoking buddy had exactly the same findings.
Also, nicotine overdose threshold is evidently not only based on body mass, since I'm a 140lb manlet and my other 350lb lardass friend was far more likely to get sick from the same or even lesser amount of smoking.

>>1175432 Depends on what you mean by clean.
My pipes get the dottle dumped and the moisture swabbed with a cleaner after every smoke. When they have dried out for a week or so and three or more pipes are in this state I will swab the stems and shanks with an alcohol soaked cleaner. Nickel and silver get polished with Flitz and coated with Ren wax as needed, about every couple of months. Vulcanite stems get Ren waxed as well at the same time. This whole process on three pipes takes 10 minutes normally and about 15 when polishing and waxing the metal and stems is included.
I don't buy estate pipes and all of my pipes are dedicated to prevent ghosts, so deep cleaning is something that almost never needs to be done.
Anonymous
>>1176482 I almost exclusively buy estates, and the first thing I do is clean them out COMPLETELY with pipe cleaners and iso alcohol.
Most of the time it just needs a decent once-over, but sometimes it can take up to 4 separate cleaning sessions before all of the books and crannies come out completely clean. Incidentally, those pipes tend to be the ones that smoke the best

What is /out/'s preferred method to pack flake tobacco? Got my first tin of Samuel and Gawith Navy Flake and I smoked one bowl by breaking the flake apart and doing the usual 3 pack method but a bit looser to let it expand. Worked quite well. I tried the fold and stuff method for another bowl but it seemed like their was just so much of an air gap in my bowl and it wouldn't stay lit.

>>1177907 Thank you. The pipe is a bent bulldog. Some might call it a Rhodesian because it is lacking the radiator lines on the bowl, but I consider it a bulldog because of the diamond shank.
Some briar pipes have a meerschaum lining. It is perhaps a higher-end option. I was drawn to this because I really like the look and feel of briar in my hand, and I wanted to get the meerschaum effect. It is more porous than briar and provides a better smoke, but idk about that. As far as I understand, meerschaum and plaster of Paris are nearly the same, so that is what I used to repair a few cracks.
Plaster of paris goes into the MM corncob pipes to make the bowl a bit more solid and better smoker.

That rough texture is called "rustication". Rusticated pipes are usually not as knobbly as that one, though. It's usually achieved by digging little bits out of the surface of the bowl, with chisels, special rustication tools, or even a dremel, to get that rough and pitted look.

Why didn't tobacco smokers ever invent a carb for these pipes? Are their minds too addled from all the nicotine or something? The carb is vital for controlling how much smoke you get with each puff and preventing smoke from getting trapped inside between puffs and gunking up your piece. If this sounds appealing to you, it's an easy modification to make. Just use a steady hand to drill into your pipe directly below the reservoir until you reach the hollow space within. Congrats, you just advanced your pipe's technological level by thousands of years.

Pipes can simply be pulled through until the bowl is completely ashed and clean air begins coming through. There is never enough chamber space inside a pipe to warrant a carb.
Your bowl still smoking but your lungs are full? Pack smaller bowls, fucknugget.
Now bongs, bongs do occasionally need a carb, because there will be times where you accidentally pack too much into the bowl. It’s harder to judge how much to pack in a larger bong bowl.

>>1179878 I really wish pipe smoking would ditch this 'fops with beards pretending to be Edwardian' gentlemen image. I honestly think it's objectively the best way to consume tobacco; certainly the best way to smoke it, but people just don't seem to be interested in it. I've taken pipes with me while going out for drinks, to work, outdoors hiking, shooting, etc, driving and so on; they just work so incredibly well in all this circumstances, the tobacco one typically smokes in them tastes and smells better and you've got all the advantages of a pipe as well; the smoke lasts very long compared to a cigarette or even a cigar; I rarely go under 45 minutes for a loaded pipe and have kept a single pipe going for nearly two hours before needing to refill it. It's ridiculously handy; you have a pipe in your pocket and as long as you keep it well tamped, or have a cap to put on it, you don't get ash in the pocket, so you can just put it away when you need to go somewhere you can't smoke (like say, inside a pub for another beer) and then light it out or even just draw on it again when you come out depending on how long it takes. For smoking time to cost ratio, it literally can't be beat; cigarettes, even roll-ups go too quickly and cost nearly as much as a tin of really nice tobacco and you can pick up perfectly usable good pipes for under £20. People who smoke seem to like the smell of it, so do others. It's also a lot less habit forming than cigarettes and far cheaper than cigars. Yet it just seems to have died away for no reason I can really understand.

>>1179897 The only thing I can say about traditional tobacco pipes is that they look better and smell better than everything else. I'm not a smoker myself, but I carve a pipe or two a year.
Anonymous
>>1179897 Also the absolute best thing pipes are for is driving. Holy fuck; I remember being in cars with people smoking cigarettes; the ash got everywhere, they were driving with one hand, you had problems with embers falling off and burning the upholsterly. When I started smoking my pipes, I could just get in the car, light the pipe up, keep a tamper and a lighter handy on the dash and just puff away happily with the pipe clenched in my teeth. No ash spilling anywhere, no need to take both hands of the wheel except for when you need to tamp or the odd relight, both of which I did at traffic lights and you never had to worry about embers burning holes in anything.
Another thing, and it might be a bit snobbish of me, but with pipe smoking, you don't get cigarette butts everywhere; all you get is a small bit of ash which you can just tap out into an ashtray or scrape out with a pipe tool; if more people smoked pipes instead of cigarettes, you'd have far less cigarette butts on the streets.
>>1179900 The main problem I think with pipes is the aesthetic. I got into them purely because of the tobacco taste; but I've become a fan of how they look. However people just associate pipes with old fashioned stuff; I'm not saying that wooden pipes aren't fantastic; my pipe collection is pretty much briars with one clay and one pear wood all in very conventional designs; mostly billiards with a few bent billiards, a poker and a pot, but it's the image people associate with them that puts a lot of people off I think. That and it's very hard for people to run into pipes or pipe tobacco these days. If all you do is buy cigarettes from newsagents or petrol stations, you'll never get a chance to see one and pick them up. It seems to be mostly people who get interested in pipes and then seek them out.

Which of your pipes smokes the best /pipegen/
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>1183546 As much as I like my briars and as good as they smoke, the only one that keeps up with my MM 5th Ave Diplomats with aftermarket vulcanite stems is a Briarworks poker. Even then, I always have a pipe cleaner handy with the Briarworks to sop up a little moisture, something I don't ever need to do with the MM. I bought the MMs as backups or work pipes, but they have quickly become favorites for all settings and one of them is always in my bag. Changing the stems made a huge difference. MM stems are not my favorite.
I think that the way the shank joins at the heel of the MM cobs allows moisture to be trapped at the bottom instead of gurgling or being sucked into the stem.

>>1183546 These are my best pipes.
The billiard is a Saxon Exclusive while the bent is a Saxon Essex; both were rejects/seconds that were being sold off by an ebay seller a few years ago. I wish I had bought both as I got both brand new for under £10. They work best with ribbon and shag cuts and smoke wonderfully; I like the thinner mouthbit I've found than larger ones; feels better in the mouth and easier to clench.
The little pocket briar is sold as a Stonehaven by GQ Tobaccos. It's a fantastic pipe; it smokes flakes, ribbon, shag, whatver I put into it and it's so small and handy that it's probably the pipe I smoke the most especially if I'm out and about.
The clay pipe is a Brosely and used to be a churchwarden, but it got shattered; however it still smokes great; albeit a little hotter to the taste. Really nice clear flavours with it.

>>1183799 I’m fairly new to pipe smoking but Prince Albert has been the best tobacco I’ve smoked so far.
Anonymous
>>1184024 Prince Albert is p good. I liked it as a starter. I also recommend captain black dark or smokers pride black cavendish. Very mellow and sweet, no bite, a great start to new pipers. Nothing wrong with starting simple, then expanding on more premium tobaccos later on.

>>1183546 Got a couple, but this is my best briar, a French-made GBD Sauvage bulldog.
It smokes so nice and easy it’s almost effortless.
The other “best” pipe is just a well-worn $7 MM Legend. If pressed, I have to admit it smokes even better than the GBD, but everybody knows what a cob looks like.

>>1184041 Id definitely still consider myself a beginner and so I’m enjoying my Prince Albert and some Privateer Red that my dad gave me. I recently picked up some Captain Black Royal and it’s not bad, but a lot wetter than Prince Albert and that Privateer so I had to change my packing techniques a bit to keep it lit.
Hoping to get a second pipe soon and maybe buy some fancier tobacco for it soon, not sure what I should get.

As usual with this pipe. I get substantial and annoying moisture build up in the stem. Disregard my earlier statement about lack of lust for new pipes, I need one of those German porcelain long pipes! Can't remember the German name

>>1184315 I think you’re thinking of a Tyrolean pipe, but there’s also a Cavalier shape that’s like the modern descendent of the Tyrolean.
I’ve been mulling over whether to get a Cavalier myself. They just seem so practical.

>>1184337 >>1184338 Precisely one of those! I remember waaay back when I first started pipe smokimg seriously, I walked into "The Danish pipe shop"s old location before they moved and there was this old guy with a HUUUGE porcelain pipe.

Tobacco shops are much preferred, and if you find one with a good pipe tobacco selection, encourage them by buying from it.

The Mayfair I use for latakia blends, for some reason it's really good at those. The others I use for virginia- and kentucky blends.
Not sure why they're better, I just have better smokes out of these - i.e., tobacco tastes better and burns at a perfect pace usually.

Does anyone know about hookas? I want to get a handheld one. There was a painting from /wg/ that had an incredibly long one, even longer than these if I remember correctly. Where could I purchase one and do they have a proper name? Also, what did they light them with back then??

>>1185634 Straight.
I have some full bents for jawhanging and driving, but straight is my favorite. Don't know why.
Anonymous
>>1185656 For me it's aesthetics and the fact that they're just easier to hold in the mouth. Bents are much harder to keep between my lips.I don't like clenching because it damages the stems and my straights just balance right in the mouth.

Quoted By:
>>1185680 Aesthetics do favor the straight IMO. There is a little bent that I do love for practical reasons though.
Peterson 304, non-system army mount. Can pull the stem when hot, sits on a table, when stem is turned around it sits perfectly in a shirt pocket, small and light, hangs off the jaw effortlessly, holds enough for a long smoke but small enought for a quickie.
The way it is drilled (by necessity) may be seen as a flaw by some, but I think it is a feature. The draft hole doesn't meet at the exact bottom of the heel allowing moisture to settle instead or gurgle. The way the shank is drilled for the army mount also creates a small resevoir that keeps any juice from reaching your mouth.

Does anyone have any resources I could look into for pipe making?

Quoted By:
>>1185634 Much prefer a bent cob
The shank is very open, and with a straight, you can get little bits of tobacco in your teeth if you don’t use a filter.
With a bent stem, it’s just enough that you don’t.
I wanted to like a straight cob more, but the bent is just where it’s at for me.

Get a pipe or pen maker lathe. Or any small lathe wit a 4 or 2 jaw chuck.
Order some briar online.
Order an assortment of mouthpieces on ebay china.
Get a file, some drill bits, a chisel and sandpaper. Just go for it. Take your own pipes apart and study the geometry of the holes. Look at cutaway diagrams online. The best way to learn this is to just go for it and if you get stuck on something ask for advice on a proper pipe forum.
There are many videos on YouTube about pipe making, from the artisans to the process at dr grabow factory and MM factory etc...
