Long summer evenings edition.
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:

Pretty excited gents. Going to be doing 120mile Lunt in the northern cascades in two weeks, just working out the final logistics. Part of this is the tobacco. I typically head out with an MM Hard Wood, and a Grabow but the tobacco's got me a little vexed. Part of me thinks that grabbing some coins or some flakes would be the best option as they are easy to carry and divy out. Leaning towards Planta's Empire Syrian Latakia Flake, or PS Luxury Bull's Eye twist. Any thoughts?

I don't smoke as often as I'd like, but I'd say I have 5-10 pipe bowls for every cigar I smoke, and a box of 20 cigars lasts me about a year of casual smoking.

>>1523642 I actually prefer pipes because all you need is the odd tamp and relight. Cigars and cigarettes you gotta worry about getitng ash over everything, burning yourself when you're trying to shift things and such due to the exposed cherry (a cigarette concern more than a cigar true but still). A pipe you just get it lit and puff. Much easier for driving and such as everything is contained. But again, that's me and one thing I've learnt that smoking is a very subjective thing in how people prefer to do it.
Anonymous
>>1523649 Ash is a pain in the ass. But even when I smoke a pipe I do still sometimes get hot embers or pieces of tobacco that come out of the bowl. Smoking is definitely subjective. I do cigars and pipes probably evenly, each a few times a week. Pipe flavor and smoothness is way better but cigars just have the convenience of not carrying a pipe, pouch and tool.

I do get that it's a bit of a fuss, but really, for me, a couple of cigars takes up the same space as a pipe, a tin of tobacco isn't really that tricky for me and a pipetool fits anywhere (and you need something to get a cigar ready to smoke so eh). But if I was wearing just a shirt and trousers, yeah, it can be more tricky, though I have done it. Each to their own, costs and benefits, etc, etc.

Quoted By:
>>1524239 >pipes with big bowls are easier to smoke Technically true to a degree; the smokability of any bowl depends overwhelmingly on the pack. You'll find that each pipe and each tobacco has an optimal pack density, and determining that sweet spot is a matter of trial and error. Odds are, your pack won't be entirely consistent across the width of the bowl, so a wider bowl will give more surface area for airflow to be at the correct level. Narrower bowls are less forgiving of inconsistent packs.
That said, tons of people start with cobs (and continue with them too). They work just fine, though you won't get a two hour smoke out of them or anything. You won't burn through if you smoke at the right pace and let a cake build up.
Anonymous
>>1524239 Believe it or not but corncobs can have a more neutral taste than a cheaper wood or briar pipe. The bowl walls on cobs are pretty thick too. I've smoked them like chimneys, quick and multiple bowls after eachother and have never burned through one. Plus theyre like 5 bucks so who cares if you eventually burn it.
As far as tobaccos, get an ounce of an aromatic blend, an English blend and a pure Virginia flake or blend. That covers most bases and each will be 1 to 3 dollars per ounce.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>1524239 They're not really easier to smoke. They just hold more tobacco so you don't have to fill it so much. Small pipes are fine. My favourite pipe actually is a £10 stonehaven pocket pipe which is another good starter into briars and such; I can get a good smoke out of it and it's so cheap and small that you can just take it wherever and not worry about it.
But cobs are fine. I've not smoked them but enough people swear by them and they're so cheap that there's nothing wrong with starting with them.
Anonymous
>>1524295 One caveat on this that if you do go for the sampler pack approach for your first tobcco pipe, smoke the virginia first as it's the most 'neutral' blend type. Won't really confuse the other two if your pipe gets ghosted, ie has the flavours of older tobacco in them. Then the english as that's a virgina blended with other tobaccos, then the aromatic as they tend to be burleys and virginias flavoured with a heavy casing.
Anonymous
>>1524295 They have a neutral taste due to the way they're made. Corncobs, espeically MM ones tend to have a bowl lined with plaster of paris, so they're essentially a clay pipe with something protecting the outisde.
Clay pipes are also really underrated. Fragile, but they give a fantastic smoke. You have to be careful with handling them and make sure you don't touch the bowl though as they get really hot.

>>1524527 While this is true in the general sense, speech exists to allow communication. If you refer to a curved yellow fruit as an apple rather than a banana, your use of the word may work for you, but it will not allow for effective communication with others. The "meaningful" meaning of words is built through consensus, not just everyone arbitrarily deciding their own pet definitions, as this would make communication practically impossible. With definitions that have a high degree of consensus, it's safe to say that when someone uses the word to mean something else, they're just wrong. It's true that many people seem to fallaciously think dictionaries are the final authority on the definition of words, as if they themselves decide those definitions. But don't forget that dictionaries themselves are descriptivist; they give the generally-accepted meaning. The more your own definition deviates from the norm, the more justified people are for being critical, or at least suspicious, of your decision.

Just remember to clean the well every so often. When I got my Peterson System Pipe used, it was one of those “smoked every day and never been cleaned” specials. That well was so full of dried tar and shit that it took me three different cleaning sessions and almost two full packs of pipe cleaners dipped in 91% iso until the well started coming clean.

It’s why the lung cancer risk for smoking 10 pipe bowls a day is 50% higher than a non-smoker’s while a pack per day cigarette smoker’s risk is 1600% higher, despite the total tobacco consumed per day being about the same.

Any recommendations for a good burley blend? I’m not a huge fan of C&D unfortunately, but lately in the heat burley is hitting the spot. I’ve enjoyed plenty of Prince Albert even though it’s quite simple and stokkebye toasted burley but again it’s quite simple and one dimensional. And the solani aged burley flake is also good. What else is out there? As far as C&D I’ve had OJK, Pegasus, three friars (first time I quite enjoyed it, next Bach tastes completely different and not good) and probably some others there’s just something about all their blends they don’t really agree with me even when they taste okay. Also savinelli brunello flake I find very enjoyable.

Not having smoked for a little while I have been bulk buying ahead of a change in importation regulations come July. First parcel arrived today, a 4noggins order that got past the customs man. Going to open the Presbyterian first. Depending on what else makes it through I'm planning on cellaring the VaPer for a while. Can't find my damn pipes though, still packed away from my last move. However I saw a cheap and cheerful estate Savinelli on Smokingpipes, should be arriving later in the week.

Quoted By:
>>1524966 What's bullshit about the whole argument is if you're being that WIDE in defining drug then even non-tangible experiences could be under that category. You could say, "speaking in public gives me anxiety, which is causing a physiological effect in my body". The body is responding to near everything that is happening in your environment. It just so happens that "ingesting" things have a more direct cause and effect relationship.
The truth is that nicotine is a drug. So is caffeine. I would say drugs are more directly brain-affecting but you could probably just as easily put sugar in that category. Sugar affects the brain incredibly strongly. It also has "addiction" potential.
If you're concerned about health the problem more likely lies in the method of ingestion than the substance. Nicotine alone, if taken say orally would be less harmful than within a leaf that's burning then entering your lungs which are built for oxygen.

Aromatics are often loaded with sugar to hold the flavoring onto the leaves. This attracts water, which then turns to steam as the tobacco is smoked. If you’re not careful, this can make for a very hot smoking experience and lots of tongue bite.
For best results smoking them, pack your aromatics very loose, puff lightly and smoke them very slow. You want to give any moisture time to go out the top of the pipe and not up the mouthpiece.

Anonymous
>>1534949 Not that anon but oftentimes "better" goods are more expensive precisely because the processes that go into making "more desirable" versions of a good are more laborious or more time-consuming. I agree there's a fucking limit, though, where paying above a certain amount is essentially getting you nothing in terms of base sensory appreciation of it but instead generating enjoyment because of the so-called elite status of the good. Once you *really* get into something like wine, tobacco, liquor, etc I think you develop the means to appreciate more desirable, and therefore more expensive, things. If you get max wine enjoyment from a $5 bottle (like I do) then you're just not "into" it (like me). No biggies.
Anonymous
>>1534980 The issue here is not so much price vs quality (and the associated diminishing returns), but rather the bullshit descriptors of flavor that "connoisseurs" use. Taste is subjective, and any perceived flavors of Himalayan cedar, aged peat, south-facing mulberry, avocado rind, and pencil shavings that the smoker claims to detect are entirely in his head. They are vague flavors that his brain is associating with (and arguably imposing on) the smoke produced from smoldering tobacco leaf. It may well be that the subject genuinely believes he is tasting these flavors, or that it triggers neurons associated with the memory of these flavors to fire, but going on about it and how his palate is developed enough to detect these things is peak pretension. What you taste is not what someone else tastes, and when most people don't taste these things, odds are the flavor association is entirely imagined.

>>1536696 You can't get lung cancer from something that isn't meant to be inhaled. Additionally, pipe smoking really isn't very addicting. If you're the kind of person who drinks coffee all day then I'd probably stay away, but if you're like me and drink one cup of coffee a day when you don't forget to drink it then you'll be able to smoke just as moderately. As for cancer - who cares, honestly? Everything is giving you cancer. Your meat, your cell phone, your WiFi, the air you breathe, there are phytoestrogens in every receipt you touch, your water emasculates you, and there's microplastics in everything that will destroy your gut. Truly, this cult of long life is a cult of Mammon. To people afraid of life-threatening illness I say: I hope you live for a thousand years. Attend Mass, go to confession regularly, say your prayers daily, and stop worrying about whether it's going to kill you or not because everything will in the end.

Gonna smoke a mr.brogs polish military pipe with pure latakia blend. Latakia is the closest taste I've gotten to match my beloved nightcap.

Absolute noob question, is a pipe with a hole 1.8cm wide 2cm deep too small for a beginner?

>>1537928 Virtually any cigar can be a "good one". What kind of pipe tobacco do you prefer?

>>1537935 Favorite tobacco is Germains Brown flake which is Very earthy,nutty, tangy with a natural sweetness.

>>1537624 That is a small pipe.
Not necessarily dumb to make your own, but if you have any money at all, it will be cheaper and less of a hassle to just buy a no-name factory second briar pipe. Especially when you consider what your time is worth.
They’re already drilled right and smoke well, just that the wood itself has cosmetic flaws that would tarnish the reputation of the big brand name. So they are sold basically at cost without a brand name to push them out the door.
If you don’t care about your pipe being a collectible and just want something to smoke, it’s the best deal going in briar.
They’re readily available online and in most pipe shops for $25-40 here in the US. In the EU, I would expect to pay €20-35.

This thread made me miss pipe tobacco, I tried it when I was younger, never got too into the hobby though. Went to the tobacco store and made myself a cheap starter kit, small pipe's for my weed. Am I missing anything important, and how do you pack your tobacco for a steady burn?

>>1537990 Do you have a czech tool, or at least a tamper? otherwise seems pretty good.
Best packing method is partly subjective and partly dependent on the type of tobacco. I usually gravity fill with aromatic tobaccos and pack loosely. With non-aromatic tobacco I use the frank method since that gives me the best results.

>>1537939 A mid-strength cigar from pretty much any of the top brands is probably your best bet. As anon mentioned, can't go wrong with a Montecristo no. 2.
>>1537965 I've tried Montecristo and Romeo+Julieta cigarillos in Cuba, and they definitely didn't taste like the full size product. Can't fault them for it either, I doubt it's even possible to make a tiny cigarillo taste like a regular cigar, even if you use all the same tobacco.
>>1538025 If you have a simple flathead nail, you can use that. Pipe nails have been a thing since forever.

>>1537990 Read the OP for necessities and watch the video for advice on packing your pipe. As that’s an aromatic tobacco, you’ll want to go a little looser in your pack. Aromatics have sugar in them, which attracts water that flashes into steam when lit. The loose pack allows steam to escape up the bowl rather than building up and going into your mouth.
