Members Jisatsu Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 Anyone smoke through a tobacco pipe? If so, which do you use? What tobaccos do you use? Filters or no? As a cigar afficiando I'm considering trying pipes myself soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bkd Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 I got some handcrafted oak pipe on the cheap from etsy last year. I also have a plain jane half-decent pipe. I like any loose leaf tobacco really. I'm not too knowledgeable in types of tobacco but it all tastes good to me. Aside from the usual Bugler tobacco that I smoke, I enjoy a cigar or pipe from time to time. Very relaxing, leisurely activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jisatsu Posted April 1, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 meerschaum pipes I was looking into these, and am worried about how fragile they are. There are definately a lot of nice meerschaum pipes out there though, and they don't seem all that expensive considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bkd Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 As much as I like a cigar, I enjoy pipes a lot more. It's a neat process; breaking in a new pipe, caking the bowl and whatnot. Smooth and aromatic mmmmm. You should try it out man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gremson Posted April 2, 2012 Members Share Posted April 2, 2012 I use a Fero pipe. They're relatively inexpensive considering some of the $2-300 pipes out there. Mine was $40. It takes the 6mm filter which is pretty common. I used to use the paper filters, but just discovered the balsa wood filters that way nicer to use for me. I can go several smokes longer, and it doesn't clog up like the paper filter. I usually change my filter every morning before work. Smoke about 6-7 times a day.As a regular smoker, I have to have a filter. I just end up sucking up tar by the end of the day without one. If you've got a pipe tobacco shop near you, chances are they blend their own tobaccos. Part of the fun is trying out new flavors. There are a ton. Typically I smoke Prince Albert's Cherry Vanilla. It's pretty mild, and low tar. If I have the money, I go for Middleton's Wineberry. That's the tastiest tobacco I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members .homewrecker. Posted April 2, 2012 Members Share Posted April 2, 2012 I just have a plain jane briar that I love, and as a very frequent cigar smoking I can safely say you have to view them as two different mediums. What kind of cigars do you like? Just had this today: I've found I like virginia burleys a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crxsh Posted April 2, 2012 Members Share Posted April 2, 2012 I love a good cigar... but pipes are awesome. No time to sit and smoke for 45 minutes? No problem. Pack it light and have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did recently try an Arturo Fuente that a friend recommend and it was pretty nice for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted April 2, 2012 Members Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'll enjoy a fine cigar every now and then, but I'll be damned if I'm going to smoke anything in a pipe that isn't going to send me to the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
