Any Tabaki smokers here?

[ixtlan]

I like the Aromatic Tobacco's.
Lanes 1Q is nice
Tinned Tobacco like Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake is also rather nice.
If you like the Cigars you really should look at pipes too.
Much cheaper and the same if not more variety.
Pipe smoking is like a lifestyle.
More maintenance then Cigars and Cigs.
The cleaning, is a chore to relax with.
And learning to properly smoke a pipe is more like learning an art form.
It takes patience.
Pipes smoking is akin to sipping fine brandy.
You do it slow and there really is a skill to it.

I have 13 different pipes, and some I like and some I don't.
Some are better for types of tobacco too. Simply because of the way they burn and handle different types.

And they damn sure beat the hell outa cigarettes hands down.
And Pipe tobacco aint TAXED to livin hell either.

I've smoked for way too long. Kinda startled me when I actually thought about it and realized I have smoked for 30 years. .

Dayum... how old were you when you started smoking? I think I was 19 or so.

 

[scramblr]

29 years for me...started when I was 12.

Started when I was 14. My parents told me not to do it so there must have been something cool about it that they were trying to keep from me

I think I remember 35 cents when I was a kid.
Could go to the gas station or bowling alley and with a buddy keeping watch.
We could buy a pack from the old pull bar machine.
Man we thought we were the Kings after pullin that off.
Those were the days.

LOL, we were 14 and getting Winstons at the local doughnut shop in the morning before school. Funny how lunches were also $.35 at the same time... At 16 we discovered beer.

I feel ya. I started when I was 12. I'm 26 now so that's 14 years down. Seeing a 12 year old smoke back home in Ky is pretty common too. Kinda sad.

I smoke when I drink, and when I'm with people who smoke. Which is too much. I've always wanted to get started with a pipe but never really knew what to get or how to start. I'm still young but I'd rather not smoke ciggarettes, like ixtlan said there's way to many stigmas.

And anyone who believes in 2nd hand smoke has been decieved, it has NEVER been proven and it's just a bunch of bullshit created by anti-smoking groups.

Gee, I wonder who funded that study...

 

[Dex]

lol I'll believe them over you guys

 

[Charlie Sheen]

Drink the Kool-Aid... go ahead...

Many people died from driving cars also. Let's ban them.

 

[Dex]

smoking causing cancer is nothing new

Exactly my point. However, I've had far more friends/relatives die in automobile crashes than from cancer. Tobacco use is a choice. Just like driving or eating KFC.

 

[Dex]

yum, kfc

LOL, Yeah, now I'm friggin' hungry... Mmmm, mashed taters...

So you think it is healthy for charred carbon to enter your lungs? 2nd hand smoke is pretty bad. I am a runner and I can feel it the day after I go to a smokey bar. It is silly to ban smoking, but it really needs to be regulated. Just make sure there are always smoking an non-smoking sections. That is key. You have a right to smoke and I have a right to not breath your smoke.

Back on topic. I love the smell of a pipe. Do you actually inhale it or just keep it in your mouth like a cigar?
