Want to get into smoking pipes without spending too much cash?
Get a Missouri Meerschaum Legend corncob pipe and a pouch of either Captain Black 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 $25.
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:

I'm afraid of smoking tobacco (even if combined with healthy lifestyle in all other parts of life), but has heard good things about smoking herbal blends. Can anyone tell of their experience with it or otherwise disprove/approve of such alternative?
Anonymous
>>2303305 >smoking herbal blends Ew. Besides, it’s the smoke that’s “harmful”. Smoking herbs will be just as “harmful”. The tobacco itself isn’t harmful. Nicotine is pretty much like caffeine. Only losers get addicted to it. Unless you are genetically predisposed to addiction, I wouldn’t even worry about the nicotine. So my recommendation would be to just smoke tobacco.

The two work on much different biochemical processes and nicotine has a wider wider range of affects on the body.

>>2303638 No. The nutty flavor is literally just the taste of the tobacco. Different strains of tobacco taste different, and while not necessarily meant to taste like whatever is listed in the flavor profile, our imagination and olfactory senses pick up the tastes and associate them with certain flavors that we’ve had before. But no, there’s no nuts in your cigar.

>>2303638 No. Tobacco, like liquor, has different flavor profiles. Look up a description of a good cognac, for example, and you'll see things like "leather, dried fruits, apricots, vanilla, spice". The liquor contains none of those, it just has notes and flavors that remind you of those. It's the same with tobaccos, different varieties and blends taste different. The only tobacco that will contain nuts will be a flavored tobacco, which is advertised as such, and even then I can't think of any that would use nuts of any variety as a flavor. MAYBE hazelnut? Maybe?

>>2303750 There is a very big difference between cigarettes, which are inhaled into the lungs and nearly always have numerous additives, and pipes/cigars, which aren't inhaled into the lungs and are typically- but not necessarily- all natural. Cigarette smokers also tend to smoke multiple times a day, whereas pipe smokers might smoke once a week or even just once a month.
This would be like comparing a guy who drinks three glasses of scotch every night when he gets off work to someone who has a glass of champagne on New Year's every year and saying they're both drinkers.

The primary pipe smokers had low pre-smoking nicotine and carboxyhaemoglobin levels with a small increase after smoking. Secondary pipe smokers had a higher pre-smoking carboxyhaemoglobin and nicotine level with a significant rise during smoking indicating significant inhalation and absorption of carbon monoxide and nicotine. >These results indicate that primary pipe smokers, who have never smoked cigarettes, do not inhale and absorb very little nicotine. Secondary pipe smokers do not lose their habit of inhaling and absorb large amounts of nicotine and carbon monoxide. They may not share the lower health hazard of the primary pipe smoker. Anonymous

I’ve even tried inhaling my friend’s vape before and had a similar reaction. I know I’m not inhaling any smoke when I’m smoking just based on the fact that I have extremely bad reactions when I accidentally do so with just a little bit of smoke.

If anything, herbal blends may be worse, most people tend to inhale those vs. only puffing on tobacco from a pipe.
That said, I have dabbled in herbal blends and had some okay smokes, in my opinion damiana and scullcap is the best. Might even have a slight relaxing effect though that may have been entirely a placebo. But it's a little unsatisfying if you're used to proper tobacco. Stay away from smoke shop hemp blends, they taste like ass.

I don't want to start anything, this is a genuine question. I have smoked cigarettes a few times in my youth and cigars a handful of times with a business acquaintance really into them. It was kind of nice and relaxing (cigars anyways) but I cannot fathom why anyone would choose to smoke tobacco over cannabis.

>>2309203 Apples to oranges. I smoke weed when I want to get high--not just buzzed or relaxed--and enhance my enjoyment of anything from being in nature to dumbass Youtube videos. I don't do it because of the flavor notes in the weed or the enjoyment of the act of consuming it, I am taking a drug for its mental effect plain and simple.
With pipes or cigars it's a lot more like the reason you drink whiskey. I smoke a cigar because the flavor is good and complex and fun to try to analyze and appreciate, the nicotine buzz is pleasant, and the act of lighting and smoking it pleases my inner autistic Churchill wannabe. Just like you don't just drink whiskey because it tastes good, or just because it gets you drunk, it's the synergy of both things at once. If it feels like a chore, no offense but smoking pipes or cigars is not for you. If you just want a quick and easy nicotine buzz take up vaping.
Anonymous
>>2309203 I don’t smoke tobacco for the chemical effect. The amount of nicotine in a certain blend is pointless info to me. It’s not the nicotine that relaxes me. Rather, it’s being able to take an hour or two out of my day to sit down, enjoy some pleasant flavors in my mouth, figure out what those specific flavors are, and reflect on my day and my life as a whole. It’s a meditative and therapeutic practice for me. I like to be sober during this time of reflection, as to better figure out problems and to analyze why things are the way they are in my life. Like the other anon said, yeah you’ll get a buzz from the nicotine while tasting the tobacco, just like you’d get a buzz if you went wine tasting or whiskey tasting, but it’s secondary. You aren’t doing those things to get buzzed, you’re doing it to taste those things.

>>2315805 Yes, it's a very bad idea to use alcohol to clean a meer. Meerschaum is very porous. Use hot water to clean your meer. I would avoid boiling water, just use very hot tap water. Remember when your meer is wet it becomes fragile so handle with care. You can also pack the bowl with baking soda and let it sit for some time. That should absorb some of the smell. I think you should be able to salvage it. Do a search of some of the pipe forums for more ideas.

>>2315805 Protip, Alcohol is a meme and "works" only for bruyere and other wood pipes but not for Meerschaum. I'd recommend removing the cake, use a fine sandpaper wrapped around a cork or a wooden dowel to grind it out. Also Meerschaum gets soft when it is hot and has absorbed some moisture, so let it cool down for hours after your smoke before you clean it up. clean the bowl with some paper towel and run a pipe cleaner trough the stem and you're good.

Well, and for wagies like myself that would otherwise need to stand in the freezing cold cuckshed next to the bins with the marlboro smokers.
Specific blends do have decongestant or warming properties - I actually started with Radfords mentholated snuff to deal with a blocked nose.
For the actual manchildren, it might be safer than pipe tobacco. There's only one solid record of someone developing nose cancer with nasal snuff, a 70-year old woman. The only other record of nasal snuff causing cancer is an apocryphal tale about a guy that used to put it in his ear. Which is weird given snuff has been in use in England for over 300 years; you'd think some arsehole at an anti-tobacco organisation would have dug out patient records or something. But it probably is safer, owing to the fact your nose is designed to deal with weird shit getting up there.

Anyone have knowledge of Grabow pipes? I want to buy a billiard, but they seem to have two or three different models and I'm not clear on the differences. There's the Savoy, the Omega, and the retailer I'm looking at lists another one just as "Dr. Grabow full bent".

How bad are non-briar hardwood pipes really? I see cherry and pear woods used a lot on pipes on the Internet, especially the cheaper fancy carved ones you find on Etsy. I assume they are better than corncob but worse than briar, but where on the spectrum do they fall?
Anonymous
>>2321032 Something to be careful about is the type of wood used. A lot of handmade pipes are made with allergenic woods and aren't safe to smoke. Popular example would be Flogglewerks, which makes decorative pipes (like LotR stuff) out of unsafe wood like myrtle.
I don't know anything else about non-briar hardwood pipes, except that Missouri Meerschaum's "Ozark" line is quality for the price. Basically non-cob cob pipes.

>>2321032 >I assume they are better than corncob nope, cob has the advantage of being very light which makes them very comfortable and at least the MM ones are good smokers, every single one of them. Other hardwood pipes are somewhere between el cheapo, guys that like whittling fancy hardwoods but know shit about pipes and the okish hardwood pipes.
Anonymous
>>2321056 >>2321421 So what I'm getting here is that the issue isn't so much the wood itself, but more that the build quality usually sucks, because anyone who is good at making a pipe just uses briar?

Are Savinelli pipes generally good? I wanted to get into pipe smoking for a while and saw a Roma 603 on a clearance sale and got it with a tin of Peterson Connoisseur’s Choice. If anyone has tried either this pipe or tobacco, what should I expect? Wonder if I should have gone with the $5 corn cob first.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>2323069 >Are Savinelli pipes generally good? Yes, absolutely. I do not own that pipe and I have not tried that blend but you should definitely be happy with the pipe. Maybe you should have gotten the cob just in case you find yourself not really enjoying pipe smoking but you can always sell the Peterson. If you do enjoy smoking you should get a cob too anyway. It's nice to have a have a beater pipe plus cobs smoke dry which is nice especially for aromatics. I smoke aromatics rarely but when I do I throw it in one of my cobs.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>2323069 Well you generally can’t go wrong with a Savinelli. I’ve never smoked a 603, but you can be assured that any pipe from Savinelli will smoke well. Like the other anon said, buying a good MM cob pipe, or a few, would still be a wise choice if you smoke aromatics or anything that would heavily ghost a pipe. Also, if you find you like the Savinelli, I’d also recommend getting a couple Rossi pipes. They’re made by Savinelli, possibly even actual Savinelli pipes that have minor cosmetic flaws, but cheaper. You can find them for as low as $40, and they smoke just as well as a regular Savinelli.

>>2335660 For one thing, it's cheaper. For 10 bucks you can get one pretty good cigar, or 2 or 3 kinda shitty ones. Or you could get a couple ounces of decent bulk pipe tobacco online and have quite a few smoking sessions out of it, maybe not as good as the good cigar but certainly better than the cheap ones.
Also, aromatics. Yes, flavored cigars exist but they're not the same thing. When I want a really deep, nutty, woody, tobacco-tasting smoke I would prefer a cigar if I can afford one, but sometimes I want a smoke that is mild and sweet and makes the room I'm in smell like fuckin vanilla marshmallow goodness for a while. Cigars have nothing to compare to the room note nose orgasm that is cavendish tobacco.

>>2335660 I’m a cigar smoker at heart, but I do smoke a pipe often. For me, I smoke pipes mainly in the fall and winter, or at night during the warmer months. I feel it fits the cold weather better. I usually can’t finish a cigar in the winter if it’s too cold. I end up smoking half of it, meaning I just wasted roughly $4-$7 depending on what I smoked. With a pipe, I can control how much tobacco I’ll smoke without having to waste any. I also find that the flavor of pipe tobacco (which is much different than cigar tobacco) just fits with the cold weather, especially a latakia blend that tastes like the smell of a fireplace during the winter. As another anon said, pipe smoking is cheaper. A lot cheaper. To get 20 smoking sessions from cigars, you’d have to buy 20 cigars, which on average would be $150-$250. If you wanted 20 smoking sessions with a pipe, that would be around $12 for a tin, which usually gets you 15-20 bowls. Admittedly, you’d have to buy a pipe too, which is pricy, but that pipe should last you a lifetime. I used to spend $400 on cigars monthly before I found pipes. $400 monthly on pipes and pipe tobacco could’ve gotten me a lot more than with cigars. I could’ve had a huge cellar built up by now. Also, it seems people like the smell of pipe tobacco more. Cigar smoke really lingers, and there’s a lot of it. With pipes, it usually smells quite warm and comforting, and there’s not anywhere near as much smoke coming off the pipe or out of your mouth compared to a cigar.

>>2331031 Outside of these threads, the same people populate all of the pipe hobbyist forums. Hell, there may even be some here. They all worship the same people, like JimInks aka Jim Amash, who’s reviewed most of the blends on Tobacco Reviews. To be fair, he does good reviews, and I’ve found that he’s been pretty accurate. But you’re going to get a lot of snobby boomers in this hobby, or with cigars, or whiskey, or wine. It is what it is.

I've been lurking these threads for a while and watching these cozy tutorials by muttnchop piper on youtube. I've finally decided on a kingston judge for my first pipe.

>>2337463 Pretty sure they just mean a hardwood pipe. The most common hardwood (and pipe material in general) is briar. Cobs are perfectly fine, especially as first pipes.
Your pic looks solid, and MM is a good brand, but they have nice corncobs for half the price. Pic related (MM Country Gentleman) is my go-to. I don't think you'd regret the Judge, but you could get the same quality for less.
Anonymous
>>2337476 Thanks for the reply. The Country Gentleman is a nice pipe as well. I actually considered it, but I decided to go for an unfiltered pipe to start and I consider 30 bucks to be a fairly reasonable price tag. Would you say that filtered is best for a beginner? It also says that the Country Gentleman has a hardwood insert at the bottom of the bowl. I think that's the 'plug' I'm questioning. One last thing, is there any concern that smoking through acrylic could lead to inhalation of melted plastic?

Are "Christmas pipes" a specific thing in some unclear way or are they just special editions no practically different than normal pipes?

Quoted By:
>>2340039 Yeah I don't get it. If I want some amazing flavors I'll make a bomb quesadilla with jalapeno and sour cream. Or toast and globs of strawberry jam. Or dab out some pre cum and lick its savory richness. And when I'm feeling really respectable, you know what's coming next

>>2339983 I know it takes a lot of courage and guts, but I promise its amazing when you swallow it. Like yeah it's tempting to get a lick and taste it, but when you get a whole mouthful and you gotta just man tf u, savor it, and swallow. If diet is bad, flavor will be bad. Stick to tons of fruits and it's mind blowing

>>2340788 Christmas pipes are just special editions put out by manufacturers around the holiday. They can be any shape, size, material etc. They're usually just Christmas themed in some way such as colors (red and/or green) etc.

Pipe tobacco has the lowest rate of giving cancer and a light pipe smoker only has a 1% more likelihood of getting cancer than a non smoker according to an old study from I believe the surgeon general when they were putting the clampdown on cigarettes. If you're one of those niggers who talks shit about tobacco and then smokes pot, you should know pot carries 3x the amount of tar that burning tobacco does, as well as more carcinogens pound for pound. Not to mention smoking pot is gay as hell and makes you gay.
Take the pipe tobacco pill anon, you will learn the glory of everything from black cherry cavendish to latakia campfire
