vikingnerd Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I am a pipe smoker myself. I prefer a nice dark cavendish. Gotta love that smell and relaxation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyancarrek Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Pipe smoker here. A real workhorse of a Peterson is my regular bowl. Settled into a Chartwell blend years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBrann Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Cigars here, short or long and thick get it done for me. Honduran, Domicican, Cuban when I am out of the country are faves! Don Thomas, Special Collection! Yummy! One of these days I gotta make me a good ashtray, and a good cutter.... Maybe I should learn folding knives first!

Matt in NY Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Cigar smoker here with the occasional pipe. I smoke mainly Cubans; favorites are Upmann Magnum 46, St. Luis Rey Serie A & Montecristo Especialles No. 2. But, I mainly smoke lower end stuff like Jose Piedras.

kubiack Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I partake in the pipe on occasion. I prefer the Mountain Mist blend from one of our local shops. I got my first meerschaum pipe a while back and it is starting to color nicely. It’s nothing fancy, no face carvings or anything like that just strait simple lines but I like it. Do any of you other occasional pipe smokers get pipe bite in the mornings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnr Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Do any of you other occasional pipe smokers get pipe bite in the mornings? Only if I drop a lit one in bed. Finnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quenchcrack Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I quit about 5 years ago. No more pipes, cigars, cigarets. I will probably get hit by a truck and die healthy but squashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cami Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I used to smoke a pipe. Sometimes indulge in cigarettes or cheap cigars...if I ever developed a taste for fine smokes I'd go broke. I like to smoke Drum and definately have a weakness for kreteks. I haven't smoked in 10 months because of my wife's comments about the stink. If she had made an ultimatum I would still be smoking, but since she asked nicely.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawyer04 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I smoked briar pipes with a cavandish blend and Dutch masters cigars. Been 10 years now since I have smelled a good pipe or cigar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cami Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 This just in! I've bought a pack of kreteks and can no longer be considered a non-smoker....the Djarums of today don't have the kick of the ones I smoked as a boy but they're better than the mainstream offerings.

TMIB Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Pipe smoker and enthusiast here. Cigars occasionally, but it's pretty rare. I forged up a colonial style pipe lighter a while back and keep it hanging on the front of the forge for use. --TMIB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don A Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I use a pipe sparingly, mostly in the shop. I figure if I am inhaling coal dust and smoke, a little smoldering Cavendish is not going to matter much. We stop in here evey year around Christmas: The Gatlinburlier Pipe, Pipe Tobacco, Cigar and Chewing Tobacco Store. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Quit the cigarettes last August, and switched back to my pipe. That's just more relaxing!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_leland Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I use a good old corn cob pipe with some ennins in it, and also dip the good old cope.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Pein Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 You know I been thinking of taking up smoking. This clinches it! Just kidding - I'm going out for a smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf's Den Armoury Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I smoked a pipe about 20 or so years ago, then switched to cigarettes for some ungodly reason. Switched back to a pipes about three years ago because of the price of cigarettes in Vermont (Marlboros are up to $6.53 per pack!!!). I smoke my pipe several times a day, mostly Middleton's Cherry or Apple cavandish or Vintage Black&Tan. What's a "Colonial Pipe Lighter", TMIB? Can't recall hearing of/seeing one. Got a pic so I can steal....er...borrow the design? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cami Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Is it just me, or is the second half of a cigar not nearly as good as the first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in NY Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Is it just me, or is the second half of a cigar not nearly as good as the first? Probably the cigar. Some of the larger ring sizes find me slowing down towards the final third and it dosen't burn properly and causes it to ruin the flavor.

wedwards Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I have been told that one should smoke only the first half of the cigar and pitch the second. The theory being that the entire cigar acts as a filter and the second half has all the crud in it and the taste gets progressivley worse. After more than fourty years of smoking pretty good cigars (I used to work in a pipe and tobacco shop so I could experiment with a lot of different ones) I discovered that this theory is the product of people who want to sell more cigars. My personal experience is that if the cigar is a good one and properly lit three fourths or more can be smoked with pleasure as long as it isn't smoked too fast. Also my experience is that all other things being equal the longer and larger the ring size, the better the cigar will smoke. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
