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:

Picked up a cheap pipe on a whim. Never used a pipe before, always cigars. Pretty low quality but I like the way it looks and is convinced me to look for a good one. I like the curved mouthpiece look. What's a good tobacco brand you can recommend? I tend to like the milder sweet ones.

the small kit that i have. this is my first pipe ever. it doesn't have any filter or cooler, so you can enjoy tobacco at its fullest. the tobacco chamber diameter is 20mm and depth is around 30mm, accomodates around 2 grams of tobacco which is perfect for me. full chamber allows around 20 to 30 minutes of smoking. gas lighter doesn't introduce any unpleasant smell or taste to tobacco. the pipe is made out of pear tree, which can withstand intense heat that unexperienced smoker will probably develop. i use pin from a shackle as tamper. it fits into chamber just right.

>>1630933 That appears to be a pipe made of plastic with a metal bowl. I'd recommend not using it for too long, because Chinese plastic and metal fumes are probably not the healthiest thing to have in your mouth or lungs. Get a cheap pearwood pipe from Mr Brog, or a no-name French briar, or literally any other kind of non-chinese pipe if you value your health.

>>1630933 Lane 1Q is like the gold standard of light aromatics. Personally, I find it has almost no taste, but lots of people like it. Pic related is one that I tried recently and enjoyed. Remember, with aromatics, you need to smoke sloooow. The propylene glycol in the casing boils off and turns to steam, which gives aromatics more tongue bite than unflavored tobaccos. And the actual casing flavor tends to break down under high heat as well. Aromatics are mild, so they're popular for beginners, but they trickier to smoke optimally, and less tolerant of a shitty pack.
If you have any suspicion that it's not packed right, pull it out and try again. Better to repack for a minute than to fight with a shitty bowl for an hour. And when smoking, keep it on the verge of going out, for maximum coolness and flavor.

Pick up a corncob pipe, a pipe tool, some pipe cleaners and some tobacco, and give it a try to see if you like it. Learning to pack the pipe will take some getting used to, and if you want to try aromatics, consider leaving a portion to dry out for a few hours - if it's too moist it will be hard to keep lit and will burn hot and wet.

It's not the absolute price of $80 that is the problem. It's the price of a replacement vs getting a new one. Most people would be fine with a repair that costs a reasonably low percentage of the full price, but above an arbitrary threshold it's no longer worth it.

Or just buy a new or used pipe off of the internet somewhere. We are at the end of a century-long decline in pipe smoking. Brand name pipes of both kinds are around, they are pretty cheap, and you can afford to be choosy about condition. After all, who else are they going to sell to?

>>1644888 As someone who lived in London when he got into pipe smoking, I honestly can't recommend it. The tobacconists there not only don't have a great selection (even Fox's and the ones down that road) but you'll be paying a lot more than just ordering online.

Does anybody have experience with cheroots? I prefer pipes, but sometimes I want an easy 5 minute smoke. All the cheroots and cigarillos I’ve tried have a sweetness that I really don’t like, as well as some gimmicky flavor. I just want to taste tobacco.

>>1650431 The FDA’s deeming regulations happened. Now every new pipe design and every new blend needs to be individually approved, even if it’s made of all-approved components.
Unless, of course, it was already in production by the time the rule change happened, and then it got grandfathered in. But if they stopped it before and restart it after the new refs, it has to get reapproved.
It’s estimated that every new blend will cost something like $500k to get through the process and finally approved.

>>1639893 Vintage or cheap refillable lighters are often the pickiest when it comes to fuel. They are somewhat more prone to being unreliable, whether it is due to their respective age or bad design.
A good lighter of quality design and manufacture is more likely to be accepting of a lesser butane by virtue of a stronger system.
I might even more controversially state that it is a flint striker that provides adequate ignition for even the lowest butane fuels, whereas electronic ignition tends to need some high octane high purity butane.
For quality butane at a good price, I like Newport, but that's just what's cheap and quality in my area.

>>1654400 The only hobby you listed that might impact things is hiking, if you want to bring your pipe with you. A Missouri Meerschaum corncob is a good start for $5. Low investment if you don't like smoking, smokes great from the get-go, and if you break or lose it on a hiking trip, you're not out a lot of money (or one of a kind carved pipe).
Regarding your other questions, I'm not familiar with "oriental" pipes other than the kiseru, but that's meant to be used with very fine kizami tobacco that you roll into a ball and smoke in one good puff for a quick nicotine hit. If there is a pipe made in Asia or has an Asian design, go with what you think looks good, but maybe test on a cob first, unless you are more interested in collecting pipes than you are smoking them. Your health shouldn't be an issue if you keep it to a few times per week, and don't inhale (not meant to, anyway). If you're worried about mouth/tongue/throat issues, don't drink before or while smoking, switch the side of your mouth you hold the pipe in each session, smoke slowly to keep the smoke cool, and brush your teeth after you finish smoking. Those help reduce some of the health risk factors.

>>1655647 No, it's a particular blend. Basically in pipe smoking you have a lot of legacy pipe blends which kept being made by other companies. Dunhill originally made their own pipe tobacco blends, but then they contracted out to Murray's. Murray's went out of business, so later Dunhill decided to contract with Scandinavian Tobacco Group to blend their tobacco. Dunhill then decided it didn't want to do tobacco at all, so it pulled the blends. STG then bought the rights to the blends and the label art and is now making them under Peterson.
Anyway, Standard Mixture is a mild English (Virgina and Orientals) blend of tobacco which has a good flavour, smokes easily and is very forgiving for beginners. It's a good introduction into non-aromatic tobacco and pipe smoking in general.

>>1660967 >loses it's pleasurable effects after 1.5 rollies You are likely smoking to achieve a certain nicotine level in the blood. This is not the primary goal of pipe smoking. For one, the nicotine absorption rate is slower as you don't inhale, so the smoke is naturally able to be longer. And second, the purpose of smoking is the taste and the ritual, not the nicotine fix. An hour-long smoke is relaxing because you're forced to sit for an hour. The nicotine is secondary to this.

>>1663082 I'm more concerned about added chemicals used to protect the crop. If I'm going to smoke I accept the potential damages that go along with it, but I would like to minimize it as much as possible. Growing would be the most extreme measure, I'd rather conveniently purchase something that doesn't have added chemicals if it's possible and I'm willing to pay for the luxury to do so

While I know this isn't quite the place to talk about cigars (and honestly, I'm not huge on them; I usually prefer a nice bowl of C&D or Dunhill or somesuch) I thought I'd share that I'm currently puffing on a Perdomo 20th anniversary sungrown Churchill, and by Jove, it is an absolutely delightful smoke. If anyone is looking to pick up a stogie, I'd highly recommend it.

>>1663415 unironically it was cigars that brought me into tobacco that, you know, actually tasted good, at the time i didnt have the money to "get into" cigars, Davidoff brought me in, switched to Padron, took like 2-3 years off tobacco and then i got clued into pipes, can still count on two hands how many cigarettes ive smoked
what is the general consensus on Ceruts? ive tried googling, but here it is essentially a more or less cigarette sized cigar
new years is coming around, and thats the one day of the year where normies smoke

>>1662999 >>1663043 Most tobacco is naturally pest resistant, because nicotine is one of the best insecticides ever.
At any rate, most unflavored all-tobacco blends fit this description. Both the cheapie bulk blends and the super premium “English” blends like 965, Nightcap, Squadron Leader and all of their clones.

Shit, even one of my potted Virginias picked up some crazy strong aphids during the summer, and they took ages to finally kill off. I had to practically drown the plant in pyrethrin spray to collapse the population. And I don't even live in a region where tobacco naturally grows (and therefore, where tobacco pests would normally be found).

>>1663436 I bought three packs of cigarettes, small ten packs to smoke on nights out and drinking session. Cigars were a favourite but again incredibly expensive. It was actually wanting to buy a decent cigar and seeing the price compared to a tin of pipe tobacco that got me into pipes..

>>1664406 Yeah, seeing that I can get some really great pipe tobacco for the price of 2 good cigars really cemented it. Although I probably make up the difference in price with new pipes, since I like to collect.

>>1664646 At least you can hand the pipes down to your children, or at the very least sell them. Better than the stub of a smoked cigar.

Got my first pipe for Christmas, went for a walk through town to look at the lights while smoking, it was incredibly relaxing. Any recommendations for tobacco? Preferably something that isn't really nicotine-heavy for the moment. I only have aromatics for now (a little Lane 1-Q and some Missouri Meerschaum Independence Day) but would be nice to try something different.

I just got some kinni-kinnick in the mail from Grandfather's Spirit. The blend I'm currently smoking contains wild tobacco, Virginia tobacco, sage, red Willow bark, bearberry leaf, and spearmint. It's delightfully spicy and herbaceous, light on the nicotine (but not too light), and practically perfect for a clay tavern pipe.

Pretty new to smoking, I just have a corncob (Missouri meerschaum) at the moment. I've tried a few tobaccos - Orlik golden sliced, Missouri meerschaum Independence Day, Lane 1Q, but they all taste the same to me and I can't really discern the underlying flavors or tell a lat from a Virginia etc. I've also noticed that I have a hard time packing the pipe, the narrow opening means it seems to end up clumped at the bottom every time. Any ideas?

>>1666299 There are some great instructional vids on pipe packing, lighting, smoking, cleaning, and pipe care put out by, I think, a pipe company, or maybe it's from a tobacco seller? No matter, you have the motivation and you'll find a vid somewhere. Oh I know, it's in the OP.

>>1666299 I'm new to it as well, I've found that if i hit harder and make it too hot it the burning will overwhelm any underlying tastes. Try different packing or slow down the smoke a little bit?

>>1666299 It seems you're definitely packing too tightly. This is an issue because as you've seen it's hard to light properly, it's getting blocked, and you're likely puffing very hard on it. This means that the tobacco won't burn evenly and where it does burn, you'll end up burning it too hot.
Pack lighter, smoke slower, learn how to retrohale, let the smoke linger in your mouth, slow down your smoking cadence. There's lots of ways out there for beginners to pack, then when you're more experienced it becomes second nature and you can just pack how you want as you can tell if you've accidentally put too much in or packed too tightly just by touch of the tobacco. Keep your pipe tool at hand and if it's not smoking freely, remove the bit, shove it down the pipe and ram the obstruction out of the way.

>>1666299 >I can't really discern the underlying flavors or tell a lat from a Virginia etc. Smoke way slower. You want it to be close to the point where it's going out, because many of the flavors are indiscernible at higher temperatures. To achieve this, you'll need a good pack so you can maintain proper airflow and not have to suck on it like a truckstop whore. Try the Frank method (plenty of videos online), which gives you a very loose fill at the bottom of the bowl, and a tighter plug at the top.

Does anyone have a good idea about machine made cigars? I know they're not as good as the handmade stuff, but I'd like a bunch of cheapish cigars I can use, abuse, hand out and so on to give a bit of variety to pipe smoking alongside the hand rolled cigars.

>>1666610 Nothing wrong with them, considering the price. Toss a few in a ziplock when you're going /out/, and you're set for some cheap and convenient smoking.

>>1666658 Speaking of cheap cigars, has anyone ever heard of Chevrons? They're from a Fillipino cigar maker called Tabaqueria de Filipinas. The cigars look very cheap but I wonder if they're palatable. I'm happy for something that's not amazing when I'm paying cheap petit-corana prices for a seven inch cigar of the same gauge.

Second, you’re probably packing way too much tobacco into your pipe. Don’t worry too much about it, we’ve all done it when we were starting out too.
Before you light your tobacco test your pipe’s draw lightly. If you sense any restriction at all, you’ve packed it too tightly. Dump it and refill again with less tobacco. What I did when I was starting out was to just fill my bowl up to the top with tobacco once and didn’t tamp at all. Just light it and tamp lightly once the tobacco seems to be going out. It won’t win you any long smoking competitions, but you also won’t have any problems with your tobacco being packed too tight. You’ll be able to focus on the experience, and that’s what you really want anyway.
