any pipe-smokers around?
 

any pipe-smokers around? what is yer fav tobacco? just curious ... i used to smoke "sauced" tobacco but now i am keen on english/scottish blends (rattray's HAL O'THE WYND is so fucking yummy ... sweet virginia) ... haha, my pipe tobacco dealer is stunned about how much i buy every time ... any suggestions for good blends? tia :pimp

3P - Peterson's Perfect Plug, Chieftains Highland and Lowland Mixture, if you like something stronger try Cornell & Diehl "Billy Budd" - it's possible that you'll have to import it.

Rattray's Bagpiper isn't too bad either. enjoy :)

PPP is actually on my list already :thumbsup sounds like fun to cube-cut yer own plug to fit yer pipe :2 cents: thanks for the other suggestions as well :D

hmmm, didnt see that one here ... cud it be its named "highland targe" here? ???

This is the one http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend_...PHA=B&TID=2838

Rattray's Bagpiper's Dream... got it in a nice porcelain jar but I think they don't sell that anymore... the tobacco yes, the jar no...

Here as well if you can read German: http://www.daft.de/pmwiki.php/Tabak/BagpiperSDream

falls ich deutsch lesen kann - schon klar :1orglaugh 'türlich kann ich dütsch :winkwink: danke für den tip :)

if i can read german - sure as fuck :1orglaugh of coz i can read german :winkwink: thx for the hint :)

Cuba's filterless black cigarettes are the best tobacco in the world.

what part of PIPE(tobacco) didnt make it to ya? hmm? :pimp hello? i am talking about enjoying tobacco and not an occasion when yer sphincter is pinched lol

no pun intended; its 6am and i am sober ... feels ratty haha :D

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it? :)

serious, i am a nicotine junkie, but i'd never ever experiment with stuff like that ... nah, i dont wanna ruin a pipe ... not even my cheapest which was just a tad cheaper than ?100 ... no way ... i'd probably trash my ?499 poul winslow after such a childish test :(

Tools of the trade I suppose, I'm only ever going to be smoking frosted greenery in a pipe anyway. Little risk in damaging a glass/metal pipe lol.

Gut gut :thumbsup

Oh, one thing I forgot about the Bagpiper's dream - it's really not an every-day tobacco... more like once every 4 - 6 weeks or so... but nice to have in the collection for diversity.

Also, if you like some really nice pipes for really moderate prices, I can recommend Mario Grandi from Italy.

Here also directly to the German listings for Mario Grandi with prices in EUR.

:pimp <-- is missing a pimp with a pipe.

:thumbsup

And while we're at it here some related pics...

ewww, those devices are oddly shaped imo ... i prefer 'em danish pipemakers ...

i aint settling for cheap woodies lol :1orglaugh:pimp

or a good handmade erikson ... or a joust from germany ... well, i love 'em pipes like girls ... curvy, but not fat :winkwink:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! i spot Caledonian #10 there - a MUST HAVE! my fav tobacco for a new pipe - mild and with a sweet highland cream flavor :thumbsup top choice - altho it aint expensive :2 cents: well, if yer into "sauced" tobaccos - try John Aylesburys "Pipe Smokers Edition #1 ... girls will love ya for the smell ;) or "Sun Of Kentucky" ... but once you tried HAL O'THE WYND you'll never go back to sauced tobaccos - serious! :pimp

äh, moment mal ... die aufdrucke auf den tabaken sind ja in deutsch? biste n landsmann?! moin moin aus dem hohen norden (HB, Bremen) :pimp

Halber Landsmann ;-)

I'm leaning more towards english tobaccos now as well, but not bad to have some "sauced" ones in the mix as well...

If you like it strong, you should really look into Cornell & Diehl "Billy Budd" - something to get used to, but once you do it could rotate into your daily mix :)

I'm off to watch a movie now and get some sleep.

my strongest one so far is Rattrays Marlin Flake which really makes me dizzy when smoked in higher quantities - obviously not an all day smoke :winkwink:

und yup, so mancher aromatisierter tabak ist durchaus geniessbar (wobei ich fast nur John Aylesbury aus der Kategorie rauche - aber neuerdings eher selten)

wo bisten du wech? oder auf gut hochdeutsch, woher stammst du denn?

guts nächtle - ist ja erst kurz vor 7am haha :1orglaugh

I try to vaporize instead of smoking... :stoned

ADG

I roll my own tobacco, and have recently started thinking about pipes.. What is the appeal, and how is it different?

I'm disappointed this thread isn't more amusing. :1orglaugh:pimp:1orglaugh

you roll your own tobacco? as in creating your own tobacco or rolling cigarettes?

well, pipe tobacco (even unsauced) has a much better taste and smell ... cigarettes are just - err - dry shit compared to good pipe tobacco ... and most ppl like the smell of pipe tobacco - hah, even in the non-smoker nation USA, ppl would say "yum, smells delicious" ... give it a try ...

i used to smoke drum
but port royal is the bomb i really recommend this

I prefer Jokers pipes to those.

I like a more traditional English style pipe. Might have to look into that.

its weird though, I wonder how many pipe hits would suffice a cigarette.

hahaha, well, if you enhale when smoking pipe - ONE puff can be enuff ... at least to make ya cough big time :pimp once you got used to it you wont enhale much anymore ... but even without enhaling, a pipe can deliver more nicotine than a cigarette - and they last from 30 minutes to well over an hour of smoking time ... depends on the size of the pipe, the tobacco and how you stuff it :pimp

Here is todays treatment for a job well done:

Treatment: Rattrays Marlin Flake in a Stanwell Zebrano (sandblasted) with a finger high 40yr old Canadian Club Whisky

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...93193036_n.jpg

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...25340549_o.jpg

This bottle contained 6 year old Canadian Club Whisky in the year 1978... that makes it a nice 40 year old smooth drink today. For the special occasion. Take a zip - Ahhhh enjoy...

i used to smoke the corn cob pipe

I like dokha smoked in a medwakh. Several different flavors, levels of nicotine and harshness.

been downtown today and bought some of it ... back home i cut off a few slices, rubbed 'em up and let 'em "breathe" for about 45 minutes before filling it into my handmade eriksen (no filter) ... hmm, ok, it has some strength, but i am missing the "spikes and egdes" ... its not bad, but i'd rather buy 500grams of Hal O'The Wynd before i buy another 50gr of PPP :(

The pipe smokers around here are busy suing pirates.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING

Give it a few more tries - maybe with a dedicated pipe for it - and you will find new nuances each and every time :)

Also - if you have a pipe (maybe even a Peterson) with a P-Lip (smoke travels up your palate instead of onto your tongue) you might want to try that one with the 3P.

Also you could like this video https://youtube.com/watch?v=lTeG1ILV-O0 (German, good pipe channel, too btw.)

well, i tried it in my rather new poul winslow crown of denmark, an eriksen (handmade in denmark - dedicated to pure tobacco) and i still didnt like it enuff to buy another chunk of it :batman well, i have cut it up in 2mm cubes now and will let it rest for some weeks and try again then; some tobaccos really get better with ageing - some dont :winkwink: right now, when i need a strong smoke, i enjoy "marlin flake" - a bit milder than PPP but with a much more intense taste :pimp

Can't argue taste - it's too individual :) to each his own

Lot of posters in here smoke out of these
