Be better.

>>16166046
I actually just cleaned mine last night. Pre-arab spring khalil mamoon. Been running the last crown bowl ever sold. Why stick $90 of bowl and HMD on a $30 hookah and $1 hose?

>>16166060

but keep idolizing the guy who couldn't even gather enough support to not get assassinated KEK

>>16166066
Ayy the KM was the tits. The rig was kinda an impulse buy since me and the missus saw our neighbors heating up some coals. We used to smoke when we were younger and we missed it so we grabbed a cheapo from the local shop. As for the HMD, an anon (might have been you) from a previous tobac thread recommend it. If it was you, thanks for the tip. This shit is a game changer. I can smoke a packed bowl for about 1.5 hours with zero harshness. I actually got it from amazon for $25 freedom bucks. It seems amazon carrys the factory rejects and sells them at a deep discount. The edges are a bit rough but otherwise works perfectly fine.

>>16165878
What’s the best website for purchasing cigars? I know of Famous Smokes, Cigars International, Cigars Daily, and JR Cigars

>>16166195
And more specifically, which one has the best sampler packs?

>>16166195
>>16166223

bestcigarpricesdotcom
Was my goto but if you want small samplers go to cigarbid. Hit the "ending soon" menu and you can get small 5packs for stupid cheap. Their only downside is the retarded shipping, so its better if you buy several to even out the cost of shipping

>>16166156
Prolly was. I've got the OG kaloud and its still running strong. Glad to hear you two are having fun! Covid kind of killed the whole hookah lounge scene lol, so having a personal setup is nice. Always fun to bust out for guests.

>>16166195

What tastes better in general, cigars or pipe tobacco?

neither are edible. weed is more on-topic than this stupid thread.

>>16167953
Cry

>>16167727
I have the same question. I've tried cigars only and willing to check out pipes if they're tastier.

>>16168192
Pipes are tastier. Get these exact things:
>orlik golden sliced tobacco
>peterson nightcap tobacco
>samuel gawith lakeland flake (any of them work, hansom flake is the most obtainable and has a strong chocolate/geranium note behind good tobacco)
>molto dolce for an aromatic
>any briar pipe in a billiard shape, I recommend stanwell
>a tamper (you don't need a czech tool, those are a meme)
Pipes are tasty, the smoke is milder than cigars (you can retrohale the entire mouthful of pipe smoke, whereas doing the same with a cigar is extremely harsh), and it is far cheaper for the same satisfaction.

>>16166046
Hookah was cool in college. Not so much when you're an adult

>>16168241
>orlik golden sliced tobacco
smells like a cigarette, tastes like eating hay. fine if you're a cow or horse.
>peterson nightcap tobacco
smells like manure, tastes like manure.
>samuel gawith lakeland flake
smells like the cheap perfume a french whore would use, tastes like a urinal cake
>molto dolce for an aromatic
smells like a vanilla caramel, tastes like cigarette ash.

>>16165989
It's clearly a big black cock.

>>16168241
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look for some of those next time I go to a tobacconist

i miss smoking hookah desu. Used to sprinkle in some dudelmao with it.

I don't like cigar smokers, it seems like most of the young people (early 20s) that I meet that smoke cigars are just insufferable douchebags who think they're smart/interesting. I'm sure there are a few autists out there who smoke cigars alone or only in their cigar circles, but the vast majority of people I meet who smoke them use them exclusively to look high class

You're still stimulating your taste buds by smoking. This should be the tobacco and weed general to be fair.

>>16171009
you're also stimulating your taste buds by sucking off your boyfriend, plus you get his nutritious and tasty spunk. this should be the cocksucking general to be fair.

Ok faggot, get cancer and die

I can't believe I put off trying cheaper pouch tobacc for so long. Half n Half and Carter Hall seem very similar to me, Carter being a little more rough in the cut, enjoying the shit out of them though. Not tried Raleigh yet.

This. Pipes should be used only for economy purposes. If you can afford to do so without really impacting your finances, always go with cigars. When I started grad school, I switched over to pipes because cigars become expensive as fuck when you have no money.

>>16169763
>They taste better but compared to cigars they taste like hot air
I assume you’re saying that pipes have no body?

>>16171828
Indubitably

>>16171854
So pipe smoking is more akin to vaping, while cigars are similar to cigarettes?

i’m going to stick to my disposable nicotine vape, thanks

Hello. Feel free to ask me about any blends you're interested in. I'm thinking it's a nice Va/Per sort of day. Telegraph Hill has been a standout for me, recently.

>>16172269
Not in the slightest. How in the fuck are you going to find the time to chain smoke 2hr long cigars? Cigarette smokers light up for the nicotine, cigar smokers light up for the cigar. Very big habitual difference.

>>16167953
>its always sunny
>weedposter
Why am I not surprised?

>>16172527
>disposable nicotine vape
If you’re going to be a faggot AT LEAST do it without wasting money and buy a refillable pod system

i can't find dunhills anywhere in my area anymore. gas stations and grocery stores only have camels, newports, marlboros, and other shitbrands.

>>16172768
What are some good ribbon cuts for a beginner?

>>16173119
Hearth and Home White Knight for a Balkan blend, and G.L. Pease Telegraph Hill for a Va/Per. Both are mild but with very nice, well balanced flavors, and are mechanically easy (i.e. easy to pack, light, and keep going without much fuss), and neither will bite unless pushed quite hard.

>>16173186
Mac Baren HH Balkan Blend is also a good option for a slightly more latakia forward smoke. I'd say that White Knight has the orientals in the fore with the latakia heavily supporting, while Balkan Blend is the reverse of that.

>>16173052
dunhill left the business.

>>16165878
Who makes better cigars in general, Arturo Fuente or the Altadis brands (Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, H. Uppman, etc.)? Trying to decide between a sampler of 10 Altadis cigars and 10 Arturo Fuente

>>16174664
AF

>>16174664
>Altadis brands (Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, H. Uppman

Fuente by default. You can't just trademark cuban brands and expect the same quality. That being said, AJ Fernandez has done several blends for altadis. AJF is the goat. Buy his cigars and suck him off. Litto Gomez of La Flor Dominicana is another m a s t e r worth looking into.

https://www.famous-smoke.com/aj-sampler-by-altadis-cigars

https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/moving-mountains-18989

>>16174869
Any reason(s) in particular?

>>16174940
Altadis is a conglomerate that buys up brands to change the blend. Fuente is a "family" run operation from ~100 years ago. The brand isn't going to "change" the cigar, so its all preference. Link the samplers.

>>16174940
Altadis buys up brands and invariably changes the blend to something cheaper and more generic. Fuente gives many shits about the quality of their cigars.

>>16174936
>>16175035
>>16175057
I see, I’ll go with the Arturo Fuente then. Here’s the two samplers

Def the better buy. Those don carlos sticks are fantastic. Little bit on the heavier nicotine side, but you should love them. Take your time, get a sweet drink to combat the nicotine. Don't be afraid to spit out all the nicotine laden spit instead of swallowing it.

>>16175157
Thanks, I appreciate the tips. These cigars are going to be my graduation gift so I want to make sure I get the best ones possible

>>16175200
If they're special occasion cigars, maybe take a peek here. Might be able to snag a sampler + a new n i c e singles. Those Don Carlos are what I'd consider a nice single, but they're pretty available. I'm on the lookout for either this, or the don carlos "the man" blend.

do tobacco smokers have as much animosity to the ATF as gun owners do ,or is it devoid of horror stories?

Pipe fag here. Talk to me about nasal snuff. Did a quick search around and couldn't really find much. Is it even available in the US anymore? One thing I found was a store in Houston that seems to carry one single brand.

>>16176621
Fuck me just found an online shop. Wasn't showing up googling on my phone but the search was much more fruitful on duck duck go on the laptop.

>>16176621
for me, it's the way to consume tobacco
plenty of types to try (dry, moist,german style)
you can order from toquesnuff.com, don't buy anything from local shops, they are stale af

>>16176320
>have as much animosity to the ATF
yes
a venn diagram of alcohol drinkers, tobacco users, and gun owners has like 80% overlap.

>>16166046
>dude just inhale mercury bro it's awesome!
I smoke cigs, and even I think hookah is retarded.

>>16167727
Pipes are a bigger initial investment, even a cheap corncob (don't bother with anything but Missouri Meerschaum, and even then only fuck with their filtered pipes if you want a good smoke). If you're just an occasional smoker, cigars are a better option. Pipes also have a bit of a learning curve, whereas cigars you just need to light up with a wooden match or jet lighter and puff away!
That being said, imo a nice pure virginia flake pipe is better tasting to me than most cigars, although I like pretty much all tobacco I've tried.

>>16171262
Just bought some Half & half myself. I feel it's a good middle ground between true budget shit that comes in giant 1 lb bags for like $12, and 1.5 ounce tins that cost $15.

Got some Lucky Strikes. 1 pack of reds and 1 golds. The golds are okay, but really aren't smoother than the reds at the cost of a lot of flavor and body in my opinion. The reds are GOAT filtered gas station brand cigs.
I like to cut open one cig from a new brand I've tried (I re-roll it later) to see the quality. Marlboro and Camels all have like 10-20% processed stems, and cheap-ass economy brands are like 30% sometimes. The Luckies have nice, springy tobacco leaves, and I found 1 stem that was probably just a central vein in a leaf. They have a aromatic, perfumey odor. I quit for a while, but these bastards got me back smoking cigs when I saw them on the shelf.

>>16176999
Are you a moron? You understand you're not supposed to burn shisha right? Its essentially low tech vaping. The second you burn the bowl, your session is ruined.

These started showing up at my local convenience store as an all natural cigarette alternative to American Spirits, are they any good?

I love Ghurka Ghost, what would be the nexy step up in qualiity? Keeping close to the length and ring gauge, may be larger on both but disinclined to smaller.

>>16176775
I put in an order for a couple tins of Viking Blonde and Samuel Gawith Kendal Brown from Mr Snuff. Shipping was killer though so I'll check out toquesnuff next time.

>>16165878
Test

>>16178204
Ghurkas are overpriced trash. Try an illusione epernay or garagiste next. Illusione's mj12 and 66 petit coronas are also fucking fantastic. The guy behind illusione, Dion Giolitto, kind of pioneered the whole, medium strength full flavor profile alot of brands are blending towards now.

>>16165878
Thoughts on this sampler?

Anyone know where you can buy these in person near Los Angeles? I don't want to wait for them to ship online.

I’m confused, in what way is this thread related to food or cooking?

>>16179463
Someone has never had a great cigar with a great dinner.

>>16178723
AJF is the goat. You can't go wrong. If you want to toss on a few singles of his actual brand(not brands hes been contracted to blend) san lotano habano and new world puro especial are great for the price.

>>16165878
Will a Boveda pack directly touching your cigars fuck up the flavor?

how can i smoke cigars only occasionally and ensure i dont get addicted?
it's so pleasant after work i feel like i want one every night

>>16179570
Nope.

>>16179625
Noone gets addicted to smoking cigars. They get addicted to buying them. Way easier to hoard a bunch of sticks than it is to actually dedicate out at least an hour for one habitually. These days since I haven't been going to the casino, I only smoke outside, so finding a good day is also a hurdle.

>>16165878
So tell me, what do honduran cigars taste like?

Need to buy some fancy cigars for me and some college buddies none of us know shit. Price no consideration within reason. Have access to one of those airport stores I’m forgetting the names of with all the booze n shit. What should I buy

>>16178123
nat sherman was acquired by altria a few years ago. I don't know what their quality is like since then but before the acquisition they were regarded as just below dunhill cigarettes in quality. it's worth buying a pack and giving them a try.

>>16179504

>>16180154
Franco wasn't a racist. Nigga worked with Africans and spoke arabic.

>>16177008
Not sure that I'd agree on that. You can get a Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe, a pack of 100 cleaners, a pipe tool, and 50g-100g of good tobacco for $20-$30, which will keep you smoking for months as an occasional smoker. Whereas $20-$30 of cigars will get you a handful of smokes (around $5-$10 per single, depending on quality and size).

If you want to keep a cigar in good condition for the long term, you'll need a humidor and have to keep it maintained. Pipe tobacco, on the other hand, easily stores perfectly well in a sealed glass jar for years, without needing much maintenance.

That said, I encourage people to try both, and go with what they like. Both pipes and cigars are great ways to relax, and offer a ton of exploration of flavors, scents, and craftsmanship.

remember frens, dont use cheap cigar cutters

>>16183043
The cheapest cutter you should be using is the punch off a lighter, or the plastic xikar xi2(?). They can normally be snagged off cbid for ~$20 and they've got a lifetime swap out.

it's a combination of the humectants to help them stay "fresh" in the cheap packaging, combined with the the nozzle effect of the tip that concentrates the steam in one spot on your tongue. If you smoke them to the nub then this makes it even worse.

Think i found my cigs bros

I bought some pipe tobacco many a year ago. It has been stored in a dark and dry environment, in room temperature. It is dried out, but still smells just as good as ever, and there are no traces of anything growing on it. I doubt that smoking it would be very pleasant (correct me if I'm wrong though) but can this be used for anything else?

>>16188132
