whats in your pipe?

[gabrielsdad]

as the title says, what brand/blend do you smoke in your pipes? Ive got a pipe ordered,so i went to the tobacconists to get some cleaners and baccy pipe tool etc. I also brought a corn cob pipe to try out packing the pipe and smoking it. I brought an ounce of clan and half ounce of columbian coffee.

Im really happy with how it went, parked by a lake and relaxed with a pipe of clan. Never got tongue bite etc. Then i tried a bit of them mixed after lunch, that was really nice.
Ive just smoked a pipe of the columbian coffee after tea. Again agreeable, so Im looking for some inspiration as to what to try next.

The biggest bonus is i haven't smoked a cigarette or inhaled any crap into my lungs all day.

So what's in your pipe? of

most the time it's sweet killarny by Peterson's
although I also have a back up of peterson's holiday blends 2011 and 2012 but they are special smokes rather that day to day.
also got some Peterson's special reserve 2012
I prefer aromatics to clan or st Bruno
I should imagine sasquatch will appear here at some point as he is my pipe padwan
there are a couple of websites where you can buy small sampler packs to test before you commit to a big tins worth.
the tins are really handy for all kinds a things too

Just out of curiosity is smoking a pipe actually less harmful (for yourself and others) than smoking cigarettes?

I really fancy something a bit sweet, don't suppose you have links to the sample sized products do you? cheers ray

Well you dont inhale, so its got to be better hasn't it? I haven't gone this long without a cigarette in 15 years. That has to be good surely. Lol

I like the classic old man English blends, if i'm going aromatic then Peterson is always a good choice. I get samples from www.smoke-king.com, it's a great way to try all sorts of 5g samples and find out what floats your boat. Warrior plug, dunhill 965 and many Peterson blends seem to be my top choices. Enjoy your new hobby

Don't know how it works passive smoking niels. I smoke in my shed anyway, so its never an issue to me really mate...

Before it was this http://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/danish-black-vanilla-flake-grams-p-2924.html

And I am going to give this a go next week http://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/mclintock-orange-dream-pipe-tobacco-p-3443.html

I go to the physical shop in liverpool and I have used the online store, both provide excellent service.

Might be smoke-king.Co.uk, can't remember. Great service though. Plug is labour intensive compared to flake but it's all part of the fun.

The short answer is No. It's just as harmful. But it smells better and just feels more right.

I prefer "Sweeter" blends - I usually smoke a 50/50 mix of black cherry and bourbon very smooth and sweet

Less lung cancer with pipe smoking but more cancers of the mouth and throat. Still deadly and unpleasant.

Will be following this thread closely as Tanith is a bad man (not that I'm easily influenced) and I need all the advice I can get.
