Pipe Smoker Check-In

[TimmyBoston]

It sure seems like we have a quite a few pipe smokers here. I've only had one for a couple of weeks, so I'm not much of one, but I try. I was curious how many others are here. :smile:

[Jim]

Present! I enjoy my pipe, especially in the fall for some reason-

[Scotto]

But of course.

[srajguru]

Just started- much to learn- 3 pipes and 7 blends into the xAD.

[Mini-T]

I started smoking a pipe this summer. I smoked cigars every now and then before that. There is so many choices in pipe smoking its going to take a life time to try most of them.

Count me as a fellow pipe smoker albeit a fairly new one (less than a year).

[boboakalfb]

I am with you Tim...learning from some of the Forum members here and other sites on the internet. Just ordered my second decent pipe yesterday.

[msandoval858]

Pipe and cigar smoker here. Don't smoke my pipes much these days, I kind of go in phases. I usually find time to get in a few good cigars per week.

[JohnP]

I also go in phases. Might not smoke at all for a year, then smoke a pipe once a day for a few days, then it might be another year. I'm not really good at it, I guess. Same thing with my hookah. I might smoke it once every several months, if even that much. Either one, to me, is far better (tasting and smelling) than cigarettes. In the off time, I don't smoke at all. Guess I never could build up a proper addiction.

Something about the subject made me chuckle when I read it...:wink: :biggrin:

[MacArthur Mike]

Pipe smoker here too. Have a great supplier in Georgetown Tobocca in D.C. They have some very nice blends and a great selection of pipes. I keep mine in a nice little stand in my den, and probably enjoy a nice smoke once a month or so.

I though this was an interesting thread since there seems to be a number of people that are just beginning the habbit. I was wondering if those people are already smokers of another tobacco or if they are previous non-smokers wanting to try something different out.

Sorry if this is hijacking the thread. I will start a new one if need be.

Well I smoke cigars on occasion...have for the last 10 years. I dabbled with the pipe a few years back. Unfortunately I didn't have much info so my experience was with more bulk blends from my local Tinder Box. I would purchase what smelled really good...taste didn't necessarily coincide with that. Not much help from them either.

Now with the sampling of English and Virginia tobaccos I am finding a whole new appreciation. Nothing wrong with aromatics...but the ones I had tried coupled with a poor technique left something to be desired.

[Dinder1]

I prefer Cuban cigars, but I have been smoking my pipe much more lately, it really is much more cost effective.
Cheers, DJ.

[letterk]

I haul out my pipe on backpacking trips. That's about it these days.

Uh huh...and then try to cover it up with Mr. Taylor...likely story...

[MasonM]

Pipes (meerschaums) and cigars here too.

[Xert]

I am most anxiously awaiting the arrival of an absolutely gorgeous pipe that unfortunately appears to have been delayed in the post. If that package ends up lost...:eek:

[Edcculus]

I smoke a pipe occasionally. I've never really had any "good" tobacco though.

[PalmettoB]

Pipe smoker here. Been smoking a pipe for twelve or thirteen years. I smoke mostly tobacco store blends, but have "rediscovered" the McClelland's tinned stuff (like the Frog Morton blends).

[HlSheppard]

Pipe smoker here as well (with a humidor FULL of old stogies! :cool: ).

[prophet]

me=started about a month ago, smoke maybe once a week or so. loving it so far...entirely relaxing.

A cigarette is to be smoked, a cigar is to be enjoyed, and a pipe is to be savored.

[zachster]

I've smoked a pipe on and off since college (just about 24 years ago :eek: ), but my most recent spate was probably over 5 years ago, as I tend to favor cigars nowadays. I'm thinking of breaking out the pipes again, though, mostly because of all the discussions here at B&B!

Clearly said, PIPE - Gutter mind! :biggrin: :lol: :wink:

[Phisig255]

Yes! I've been smoking pipes and cigars for nearly 30 years! I own dozens of high quality pipes (Dunhill, Comoys, Savinelli, etc), I enjoy smoking most after a fine meal or in my back yard at sunset. My favorite cigar is by Arturo Fuente. My Favorite pipe tobacco is by Tinder Box called Aalborg (a cavendish blend...very aromatic my wife loves it!). Smoking improves my ability to relax and ponder the world---well maybe just the smoke curls and rings, BTW, I met my wife at a tobacco shop! And YES--I smoke in the house!
Keep on puffing my friends!
Remember someone once said: "A woman is ---Just a woman; But--- a Cigar is a FINE smoke:!

I smoke pipe and cigars.

[TimmyBoston]

in french, une pipe is a :biggrin: .



Appreicate the info, but all due respect, I don't think that kind of language is appropriate. Sorry, but it's the way I feel. No offense intended.

Thanks for the edit, much appreciated. :thumbup:

Mason,

While out on the road get yourself a Gurka (Red Label) cigar and you'll find enjoyment indeed. :)

I quit cigarettes a few months ago - but I did continue to smoke cigars from time to time (less than once per week - on average)... In the past month (or so) I've become interested in pipes (again - well, I've always thought that they were interesting but I never tried them before) and I've smoked a couple of bowls... it is an interesting alternative to a cigar for somebody who wants a good smoke (rather than a cigarette - which, IMO, wasn't a good smoke). I'm not sure which camp I'll end up in (maybe both? maybe neither?)

[PalmettoB]

Fortunately, for me it's not either/or, it's both. I like my pipes, but I also enjoy a good cigar. I never got a taste for cigarettes, thank goodness! (And they don't "taste" like much anyway! :001_rolle )

truer words were never spoken

[kozulich]

Pipe smoker here. Been smoking several years, but usually only in winter and not on a real regular basis. I do enjoy the smoke and the aroma etc., but I really don't care for the taste it leaves in my mouth when I'm done. I do smoke in the house, and sometimes outdoors too, but have learned not to kiss my wife after I've smoked. THAT, is going too far:tongue_sm

[Mottern Man]

never under estimate the power of a Dominican cigar:smile:
