I prefer hash over tobacco, but I’ve always wanted to get a nice pipe for it. Did you get yours at a smoke shop?

>Pipe tobacco is a hobby, right?
No you hipster. You already have a drug thread.

If a bunch of pompous, pretentious snobs put time in to elaborating on the intricate deviations in performance among nail clipper designs, would that justify having a manicure thread on /hob/?

I bought it from a local pipe artisan store, but wooden tobacco pipes like this aren't really good for weed because of how much sticky resin tar it creates. You should get a glass pipe from a headshop.

Pipes aren't smoked mainly for the nicotine effects, so I think a thread separate from a drug thread is warranted. If you don't believe in tasting subtle flavours that's fine, but you can't really speak about it if you haven't even tried it. There's also a collecting part of it like I said.

Also, I doubt I could get any discussion going in the drug thread, because people who smoke pipes might not be into drugs, and probably generally aren't.

Tobacco is a light drug, like alcohol.

Yeah I figured tobacco being ashy is why it’s smoked in wood pipes. I wonder if I could make a pipe with a glass lining but a wooden case. I just love the way they look.

Possible, yes but it would be complicated to produce with a limited market. So odds are such a pipe would be pretty expensive for a pipe.
Metal and stoneware/ceramic being more typical in hybrid pipes from what I have seen at stores and stands.

I meant to just make one for myself. The insert would be the hardest part, but the wood seems easy enough.

I love the taste of tobacco

What kinds of pipe tobacco blends do you like? Please don't say aromatics, haha. Can you suggest some high-nicotine blends?

I smoke cigars. I prefer strong ones with dark wrapper leaf.

A pipe is handy for cigar smoking though because if you get a poorly constructed cigar (or the wrapper leaf unfurls mid-smoke) you can just tear it open and smoke the tobacco in the pipe.

American Spirits, Peter Stokkebye

Been smoking a decade. Always loved me some holistic medicine. I have been puffing on some tourneys this morning. Wish they were parliaments. I have an oral fixation and the routine of going out and lighting up is an everyday part of my life.
