Smoked my first cigar in about a year.

Leaf by Oscar Sumatra - it was pretty damn good and I got to catch up with some buddies from the cigar shop that I hadn't seen in a long time.

Checked. Pic related is me when I have a good ol Saturday to kick back and relax! Love me a good stick every now and then if you know what I'm saying, haha! ;D I was actually at the lounge earlier this week, covid restrictions were finally let up around here. Said I should get vaccinated. So I said haha how about that vaccy tabaccy! :D:D

>>16436793
Pittsburgh?

Any suggestions for someone who just smokes weed socially? Im thinking of grabbing a pack for when I meet with a few friends on vacation

Got off work 2 hours ago
Sunny day, nice & warm

Had a cool shower, changed clothes, made myself some tea and got my pipe & 965, smoked out there for a good hour, truly a great mental reset from the previous stresses of work

I normally get nicotine sick off of 965, but not this morning

great start, need to mow the garden then got the rest of the day to watch DS9, though I'm having some of my family round for a bbq later

life can be good sometimes

What’s a good mild cigar for a compete beginner?

>>16439630
Just go to a smoke shop and ask for a house blend of some Connecticut leaf.

>>16437288
Newports or American spirits

Perdomo 10th anny champagne.

Any other essential tobacco's I should pick up?

>>16439763
Have you ever smoked pipe before? If not I would recommend only picking up 1 or 2 tins so you’re not out a bunch of money if you don’t like it

>>16439821
yes

I’ve never smoked anything in my life. Always wanted to smoke a cigar like Arnold or Clint Eastwood. Any recs or tips?

>>16439851
Something mild, flavorful, and available. I rec'd another beginner cigar a few posts up. I'd consider these "wedding" cigars honestly. You could set a box out an an event and noone would complain.

https://www.cigarsinternational.com/p/perdomo-reserve-10th-anniv-champagne-cigars/1412283/

Do a little googling to see if you can save a few buck off a 5 pack of them(I'll shill for brands, not vendors, don't overpay when a few minutes of searching will save money). Another great mild flavorful smoke are the Illusione Rothchildes, but make sure you snag the connecticut.

https://www.cigarsinternational.com/p/illusione-rothchildes/2006596/

Tips? Smoke slow. 2 puffs every 2 minutes. You're basically trying to keep the lowest temp possible without letting the cigar go out. The flavor is all from the oils released by the leaves. If you just ignite them, you'll taste nothing but harsh smoke. Sit down, relax, puff.

Are cigarillos different than a cigar?

>>16440045
Lol

>>16440114
>Are cigarillos different than a cigar?
Very different, cigarillos have a 20-30 ring gauge as opposed to 40-64 on normal cigars, are machine made in a factory instead of hand rolled, and most importantly of all they’re made with short filler (shredded up) instead of long filler (whole leaf) tobacco.

>>16439851
Don't smoke to look cool. Smoke because you are cool(and also because you enjoy the taste).

>>16440145

Just to tack on here, Tatuaje series p are mixed filler and f a n t a s t i c. Their wet packed cigars are also great if you've got the cash to snag a bundle and let them rest.

ty for the recs

I've had several of these recs so far, It's just my first order from US to me, so the stuff hard to come by / cant get here, I'm ordering
other than the peterson/dunhill stuff, I've just not got around to having a couple of them yet

>>16439763
>peterson
i'm not a fan. g. l. pease has better answer for all of their blends. plus i think they spray their shit with nicotine which is just insulting

>>16439763
listen to this guy
>>16441286

sipping on some pease quiet nights as we speak

Thought I'd give the frank method a try on my cheap corn cob today

took a while for it to stay lit, probably because I wasn't putting the flame close enough, but now it's lit, it's staying lit

the draw is smooth, but like milkshake, i prefer a slightly easier draw

overall, not bad
i expected to fail to whatever degree

>>16440822
That's pretty cool. It's always nice to meet the blenders and chat with them about their methodology in creating a blend, be it a cigar or pipe tobacco. Back in the day Steve Saka used to hang out at the JR tobacco I used to frequent and when I was in AZ I had the opportunity to meet and speak with Jeremy Reeves (Cornell and Deihl). I think you can gain a better appreciation of a blend when you know what the creator was trying to accomplish.

>>16440563
It's nice and I don't feel like it's addictive at all. Plenty of times I'll bring a cigar with me and just won't smoke it because I'm not in the mood. I smoke once or twice a week maybe, but sometimes I won't smoke for several.

>>16440563
I'd say it's more relaxing than fun, at least by itself. If you find yourself a good lounge, there is a nice sense of camaraderie between cigar smokers and get some really interesting stories from people in all walks of life that your wouldn't normally interact with.

At most I smoke 3 or 4 cigars a week, but it's usually only 1 or 2 a week. I have gone months without smoking without any issues or withdrawal.

>how do you guys feel about zyn?
I'm actually trying it now for the first time.
After a 5 minutes or so it doesn't even feel like I have something in mouth. When I first put it in it felt "puffy" in my lip but it flattened down. No burning sensation like the other anon stated. It releases the nicotine rather quickly compared to how snus works. I have not tried snus yet but my understanding is that it releases the nic slowly. I'm a lightweight when it comes to nicotine as I am a pipe smoker and occassionally have a cigar. I got the 3mg Zyn for a little pick me up in the morning and so far it's great.

>>16445834
I smoke it all the time. It’s technically an English aromatic. Buy a tin and smoke some. It’s an aromatic. Heavy handed “red wine” topping that tastes more like red candy.

>>16447122
And if you buy the shit from smokingpipes or tobaccopipes, chances are you’ll get a tin from June 2014. I’ve bought 6 tins recently and all had that date on them. This blend will absolutely ghost your pipe btw so get a cob or whatever. I smoke it in a dedicated meer.

Milder isn’t necessarily better. I got sick off my first few cigars cause they were “mild” or “for beginners” then tried a maduro and loved it. The sweet/nutty flavors just make me sick. I need something with a bit of dirt/spice

Cigarillos are superior to cigars.

>>16440563
They are enjoyable on occasion. Golf outings, weddings, chilling at the beach. They take a long time to smoke so it’s not really easy to get addicted cause who has time to sit out and smoke a whole stogie every day?

>>16447091
>I have not tried snus yet but my understanding is that it releases the nic slowly
Depends on if you get white or original portions in my experience. White takes a lot longer to soak though meaning longer for the tobacco to break down and release the nicotine.
Original portions hit much quieter, like 5 min as opposed to 10-15 and peak earlier.

tobaccopipes.com still has sun bear if anyone is still interested, i grabbed 1, hope it's good

I've got a tin and it's an mild English with a slight floral casing, not a full blown aromatic.
If you want to smoke red candy buy a pouch of Captain Black cherry, that's an aromatic tobacco.
Savinelli Essenza Cipriota is NOT an aromatic tobacco just because it has some sweetness topped on it, it would be like calling Royal Yacht an aromatic.

Non-frequent smoker here. Stopped smoking completely in February but have been inundated with daily cravings for a cig for the past week. If I give in, what should I get? My cigarette of choice is NAS black or brown unfiltered. Second and third choices are Newport and Camel blue 99s.

>>16458430
nas unfiltered is the way to go

>>16458557
I'm leaning toward it, definitely. Always gives off a nice nicotine rush, tastes good, and easy to smoke.

>>16458593
yup, and if your paying for a pack it's better to get 100% tobacco rather than 70% tobacco 30% filter. at least that's the way i see it.
i don't smoke cigs too much anymore after switching to pipes, but with the nas unfiltereds i use a small holder so i can smoke them down to almost nothing. get my moneys worth.

>>16458958
true that, nas unfiltereds give me the rush i want and its the closest to intoxication without actually being intoxicated

>>16458273
Thanks so much for the help! Do you think a v-cutter, a straight cutter, or the hole poker one? I’m leaning V cutter

thank you for the rec

why do you smoke? it's bad for you and it doesn't make you feel good and the only reason why it feels like it calms you down is because it takes the edge off of your nicotine withdrawal. there are literally 0 reasons why one should smoke.

>>16466969
Tastes good

cigars are inherently less addictive than cigarettes. nicotine by itself is not addictive but when combined with MAOI compounds like harman and norharman, which are also present in tobacco smoke and which are what give cigarettes their "kick", then the overall package is addictive. harman and norharman are 80% less bioavailable which absorbed orally and also have a relatively short half life (around a half hour, whereas a cigar gets smoked for an hour or longer, often) [1] so it stands to reason that people don't get hooked on cigars the same way they do cigarettes, and this mirrors what you see in practice.

A few threads back one anon posted an infograph showing the dangers of various tobacco products and pipe smokers who didn’t inhale actually lived longer than non-smokers, I didn’t save it but maybe he’ll see this and post it

Does the length of the stem of a tobacco pipe have something to do with the temperature of the smoke as it enters the mouth? Or moisture?

Is there a chart or something that says the practical effects of different shapes and styles?

>>16468838
If you're this big of a pussy, I'd recommend you stay away from smoking.

>>16468856
what?

>>16468838
Yes, the longer the stem the cooler the smoke. A lot of moisture can also make the smoke hotter. You can use a filter to help with that or use something like Nording Keystones. I do not like filters and use the Keystones. They work very well. They're small pieces of porous volcanic clay that you drop into the bottom of the bowl and pack the tobacco on top. They work in any pipe. They absorb moisture and do not affect flavor. They also help with a smoother draw since you have a little air pocket at the bottom of the bowl. And it cuts down on gurgle which is the main reason I got them. I highly recommend them.

>>16469238
are they meant to be disposable?

>>16469383
I think most people probably throw them out after one use but I reuse mine. I reuse them until all sides of the stones are charred up and black. I generally get three or four uses out of them. If you decide to reuse just let them sit for at least 24 hours to dry out.
I clean mine but it isn't necessary. After I have a bit of used ones saved up I rinse them in hot water. I then soak them in rubbing alcohol for 24 hours (covered), rinse them with water and then allow them to dry. Any alcohol left on them evaporates within 24 hours.
They're cheap enough to not reuse them but I don't like wasting.

was a study in the 60's or 70's i believe, commisioned by one of the vice presidents in America

The non-inhaling pipe smokers lived longer because of the relaxing and calm often attributed to pipe smoking
although medically speaking (non inhaling smoking, versus no smoking) no smoking is ofc better

Occasional smoker here
I'm going to buy a pack of Davidoffs, which one should I get?
I used to enjoy Davidoff magnum red but I haven't seen it in a while. The store has like 10 different kinds of them but no magnum red.

>>16469436
how many stones per smoke do you use?

should different flavors of Acids be stored separately?
what about an Acid and something like the Tabak Cafe con Leche?

Anyone here try cigarking.club?

>>16472107
Probably. If you're trying to like, batch out 5packs of different flavors cheap tupperware will be your best bet. You could also fuck around with combining flavors that way. 5 blondies and a tabak or java in the same container.

I’d recommend using these, they’re like $12 a piece and can hold 20 Toro cigars. You can also buy them at walmart, wegmanns, and bed bath & beyond

3 to 5. Their size varies and it also depends on the size of the bowl. I usually use one larger stone with two smaller stones in my Nording Compass. I figured the 100 gram bag of stones I got will last me well over a year and it was $10. I generally smoke one bowl a day, sometimes two.
