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:

Not much of a smoker. Hate cigarettes, but enjoy a cigar on occasion. But recently picked up this pipe and some Apple flavored and toffee flavored tobacco. Tried the apple while at work last night and after a bit of relighting finally got to smoke it for about 10 minutes. Had some trouble getting the last bit at the bottom to stay lit, but I probably just packed it wrong. I really like it, i've been smelling the bowl all morning today and looking forward to taking it on my next hike and when I go fishing. The only downside is my fiancee doesnt like the scent of tobacco otherwise I would smoke it more. Would appreciate and friendly tips or recommendations on some pleasant smelling tobacco that hopefully my girl wont mind.

New to pipe smoking, so I've got a couple of questions: I get tongue bite quite regularly, do I just smoke slower to make that stop? Are there other things I might be doing wrong? Also, sometimes halfway through a bowl it becomes increasingly more difficult to drag the pipe, like something is blocking the pipe. Is this moisture? How do I reduce this? When I smoke my pipe, flavor changes a lot, I taste something slightly different every minute or so. Is this inconsistency a good or a bad thing? Last but not least, I was thinking about picking up some new tobacco. Got any recommendations for a woody, slightly sweet non-aromatic?

>>1480488 >do I just smoke slower to make that stop? Yes. Also experiment with the humidity level of your tobacco.
>it becomes increasingly more difficult to drag the pipe, like something is blocking the pipe. Might be the tobacco swelling as it heats. Pack less, or try the Frank/plug method of packing, where you just drop loose tobacco into the bottom half of the bowl, and wedge a nice denser plug of tobacco in the upper half. This creates a sort of air chamber beneath the main mass of tobacco and reduces the problems you may run into further down in the bowl.

>Is this moisture? It might be moist tobacco at the bottom of the bowl. If you are a wet smoker, go with a cotton cleaner through the stem every now and then. Or, if you feel/hear a gurling sound in the stem, take it off and blow the moist out

I was once told a bit of advice by one of those really influential people you come across once in a while after he saw me put a lipper in. He said something like “I used to dip when I was younger. I’ve since quit. There are many reasons people use tobacco, but the sooner you realize it’s just a crutch, the sooner you’ll realize it doesn’t do anything for you, and you’ll be glad you quit.” I am glad I quit, and I know you will be too. Don’t let the tobacco jew take your life away. There’s a reason it’s marketed heavily in impoverished areas and to minorities. Also, our tobacco lobbyists have fucked us by minimizing the warnings on their products. Anyone who has been overseas has seen how damnable it is. They don’t have “this product may cause ____” or “tobacco is addictive” they have “TOBACCO KILLS” usually with a picture of some mouth or lung cancer that’ll turn your stomach. Tea tastes just as good, real high % chocolates taste just as good, if you need a social lube, just work on being charismatic without the need of a captive audience. Just a PSA from your friendly /out/ public health worker.

>>1482826 I used to suggest buying a cob pipe, but I’ve started recommending seconds instead. Seconds being pipes that were carved for expensive brands, but didn’t have a great grain or had some holes/dents. Whatever their issue, they smoke perfectly well. They’re filled, finished, and sold under cheaper brands like Dr Plumb. The investment is larger - but you’ll end up with a real briar pipe for less than half of what you’d pay for a mid-range like Savinelli or Peterson.
Even if you don’t like pipe smoking, put it away and try again in a year. Or ten. Chances are your tastes will change.

This is also the reason pipe smokers will buy corncobs to try out new tobacco because corncobs don't have a break in period like wood and are cheap so if the tobacco is shit there is no lose compared to a $30-$100+ pipe.

I am not preaching the word of pipe smoking and coming down on you poor peasants who know no better. All that matters is do you enjoy it? If yes then you can stick a straw in a can and light the smoke with a welders torch if you enjoy it then who cares.
Scorching tobacco makes it taste like cigarette smoke. Aftershave and beard oil can be absorbed into the wood and will make the tobacco taste like aftershave. If you like that then cool.
Anonymous
>>1486392 >Scorching tobacco Differentiate scorching with regular lighting.
>can be absorbed into the wood and will make the tobacco taste like aftershave I find this very difficult to believe, since pipes have a finish applied to them. Even with natural briar, it would take a fair amount of beard oil to penetrate through to the bowl (recall that briar is dense, so you're not getting a lot of capillary action). Now, I'm not sure whether people who use beard oil also have it dripping off their fingers under normal conditions, but it doesn't strike me as a likely scenario. Or more specifically to the topic at hand, not so much of a concern as to not recommend a briar to a beginner.

Briar root isn’t exactly a forgiving medium when it comes to carving.
Cracks in the wood, hidden flaws, and sand pits are all common to briar root burls.
And that’s just the natural flaws. Pipes can also have holes drilled in the wrong places, spots sanded out of shape by mistake, finish too thick or too thin, and on the list goes.
For as simple as they are, there sure are a hell of a lot of fucked up ones.
>>1486343 Another reason people prefer cobs for tasting is because they don’t hold a ghost. When a cob gets too funky or stinky, just clean it out and let it sit in the sun for a day. Works like a charm.

Only weak non-randomized epidemiological studies show this, which are inherently flawed given selection bias and the tendency for each cohort to select the healthfulness or harm inherent to their life. It should further be noted that these seldom correct for lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and most importantly workplace hazard risk. The final nail in the anti-smoking science's coffin is that all of soft studies are contradicted by hard evidence; there is not one study to date where the smoking group went on to get cancer at any statistically significant rate above the control group in healthy animals. Anyone who believes smoking causes cancer has not examined the evidence for themselves.

Quoted By:
>>1489278 Yes you can use a torch lighter, don't listen to that guy. Hold the lighter further back so you're not incinerating all your tobacco, and light in brief bursts while moving it around quickly. You want to expose the tobacco to as little heat as necessary to get it smoldering, and that control is achieved by limiting proximity and exposure to the jet of flame.
If anything, a torch lighter gives you more control over this than a soft flame, because the flame is strongly directional and has a well defined heat gradient. I use a soft flame because I got a nice lighter as a present, but plenty of folks use torch lighters.
>>1489339 4noggins. Unless you enjoy paying more than double the price, buy from the US. Keep your orders under 7oz or so, and definitely under $100, and the odds of customs taxing it are incredibly slim. Plus, those guys know how to ship to Canada.
