Pipesmoking

[D.A.L.U.I.]

Just a reality check here, I buried a friend in 2006, long time pipe smoker, and it's a MAJOR risk factor for esophagial cancer.  Long and painful death, left two teenage girls behind and many friends.  Pipesmoking has a price.

A rose is a rose is a rose. The same can be said about tobacco. It's poison.

I love a good pipe smoke. I have a nice collection of meerschaum pipes. My favorite tobacco for them is a house blend from a tobacconist in Florence,  KY. I try to pick up a pound of it whenever I get through there.

Ummmm....

Never really got into pipes but love Black N Mild pipe tobacco cigars

I quit smoking cigarette about a year and a half ago.
I've smoked a few cigars over that time...maybe 4 or 5.
I wouldn't mind having a pipe. My grandfather and my step dad used to smoke pipes.
I love the smell. I wouldn't want to smoke a pipe every day though. Just like for special occasions I guess. Fishing maybe.

I'm a long time cigarette smoker (about to quit, though - have my prescription of  Chantix sitting in front of me) who also occasionally smokes a pipe. Pipe smoking is a sheer pleasure/indulgence thing, for me. The variety of mixtures of pipe tobacco available is astounding - not only can you get a tobacco that leaves a pleasant taste in your mouth, but you get the added pleasure of aroma, in many cases. My favorite smoking pipe is a Peterson Emerald.

I've been thinking about getting a long white clay pipe for when I am in a contemplative mood. For now I'll stick to my Romeo Y Julieta cubans. How hard is it for you Americans to get them? Isn't there an embargo?

I use to smoke a pipe for years.....Captain Black....haven't smoked now in 15 years...

Lately, I really have been enjoying Waterpipes. 

I am not sure what they are called in America.
or where you can get them?
Hookah, or Shisha.  I need to ask for something different in each country.
In Turkey it is "Shisha", in Bulgaria "Nargile", in Lithuania "Kalianas"
and in Africa they call it a "Hobblie Bobblie" (that name is really dumb).

Anyway they have these bars where you can sit around
smoking these waterpipes with your friends and be
entertained by BellyDancing women in Harem Outfits
It is great, my preferred form of Relaxing with my friends.

In Enland they are Bongs for smoking dope, I would get off that stuff.

It's better to retire from smoking anything. I know too many people who had throat and esophagus cancers.

I'm 100% Middle Eastern, (Christian), and I remember that my great uncle smoked a Turkish water pipe, and that the men would sit around smoking them while they were playing 'tavli', (aka backgammon).

Hookas are nothing like bongs, bongs are specifically made for smoking dope, Hookas are for smoking Shisha, which is flavored tobacco, nothing remotley illegal about it!!! They are also designed completly different!
