Pipe smoking, a lost art.

That is great advice. I do the same sometimes. I guess that comes with a little experience. Pipe smoking is not hard but there are a few tricks and your's is certainly one of them.

Cheers my friend!

The thing I like about smoking a pipe is that, unlike many other forms of tobacco, it really encourages you to slow down, relax and enjoy the time.

Interesting. The fiance came home from the local smoke shop with two pipes (not Cobb, they didn't sell them for some reason) and some captain black. In my haste I didn't even remember there is a 'break in' needed on the pipe, but it was an overall enjoyable experience. I'll have to do some more research on the above as well as different pipes and their effects on smoke.

By the way, you say your fiance bought these for you. So, you have a woman who not only doesn't mind you smoking a pipe but is encouraging it. I will assume she also supports your home brewing habit since you are on this board. Marry that woman quickly before she gets away!

Not only does she support my random hobbies, she frequently develops recipes and is fully confident from start to finish brewing an all grain batch, grows hops in her garden and constantly makes pizza/deserts from the spent grain. Ya I'm not gonna let her go anywhere.

Minorly off topic. Yesterday at lunch, I passed by a large, linebacker sized African American man. He was wearing a Peacoat with high leather boots, a woolen hat, and was smoking an intricate Meercham pipe.

I love my city so much.

Was he from the future?

CG you know what? When you first started posting here I wasn't sure what to think. Over the months that I've gotten to know you through your threads and posts.. They say a lot about you. Mostly they say you my friend are not only very creative in your posting. You are a man of honor and integrity.

Yeah.....creepygoodness is fantastical. Does it bother you that he and I are the same person?

Smoked some Captain Black white tonight. MAN I dig that stuff.

Am I missing the boat somehow? It seems so packaged and BMC like.

What do you all smoke?

 

[rifraf]

Captain Black is pretty good stuff. My go to is Boswell's Best from www.boswellpipes.com. Just got another shipment in. If I'm out of that, it's whatever random bin from the bulk jars at the cigar shop I'm in the mood for.

I need to try this Virginia 1 I keep hearing about though.

I don't smoke aromatics--I find them too syrupy--but prefer English blends. My favorite is hard to find these days, Presbyterian Mixture, so lately I've been smoking a blend made by my tobacconist named Sir Winston (the tobacco, not the tobacconist). It is a blend of Virginia, Burley and a touch of Latakia. It's designed to be a rather cool smoke with a mild nicotine kick.

I lol'd.

"Sir Winston! Whip me up some Presbyterian Mixture!!!!!STAT!"

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I like the syrupy smoke myself. kinda like molasses dripping out of your mouth.

I started with aromatics and eventually tried English blends and find them more nuanced and less in your face with flavors. To each his own.

Really feel like having my Mr. Brog pipe tonight but it's so damn cold out!

 

[rifraf]

Wife just said our liquor cabinet smells awesome now that there are a bunch of tobaccos in it. Maybe I can baby step my way into an indoor smoke...

 

[CHefJohnboyardee]

Good-luck with that!

 

[rifraf]

Had to come show you guys my new pipe! I wasn't in the market but my wife surprised me for Valentine's Day, along with an ounce of Virginia 1! Every now and then she really surprises me... No idea how she picked up the fact I wanted to try that tobacco, and the pipe is exactly my style.



Can't wait to smoke it!

 

[cluckk]

Very nice. Enjoy.

I just picked up a new pen lighter yesterday (for pipe, of course).

Here's a pic:

 

[rifraf]

Sweet! I've never even seen one of those...

 

[cluckk]

It has a pocket clip and looks like a pen.

Happy IPSD everyone! I started this morning off With some CH in my mr brog.

 

[phoenixs4r]

Because it is harmless.

So was asbestos. I'm not the first to grab the tinfoil hat, but those things don't make me feel comfortable.
