Didnt the FDA v& all the recessed filter cigs right after they came out?

>>16531290
not parliaments I guess. it's not the absolutely most common cig but you can get them most places and they're all recessed filter.

I saw someone smoking a Camel recessed filter in Patton PA in 2014 too, but I've never found them for sale anywhere.

she said her doctor told her the recessed filter was actually better for her, still not sure if she was lying or just had a really bad doctor.

>>16531155
Never been able to find unfiltered American Spirits but I’d buy a pack if I could. Unfiltereds are the way to go afaic.

Lucky Strikes are my favorite flavor wise, but I can only find them in certain specialty tobacco shops, so I usually smoke Camel Unfiltereds because they’re sold at my local 7/11. And honestly it doesn’t matter too much what I smoke any more since my taste buds are dulled enough now that all cigarettes taste pretty much the same.

I also buy Nat Sherman MCDs whenever I happen to stumble across them. Not much of a nicotine buzz but they’re the only cigarettes that taste like anything to me any more.

>>16531155
Niggers tongue my tobacco

>>16531155
I used to smoke cigarettes but eventually got sick of the side effects and quit the habit. I like the taste and smell of tobacco but can't stand smoking anymore. Whenever I have a cigarette I just want to give up after a few drags. Anyone know this feel?

>>16531155
Damn, I wish I could get my hands on some unfiltered american spirits... fuck being a eurotrash.

You could always do a pack swap with an American. Hell if you have a PO Box (or whatever it’s called in your country) there’s probably some anons here that would gladly send you some American Spirits and other brands in exchange for some brands from your country

>>16531155
Used to be a heavy smoker, but I transitioned to pipes. Pipes make it easy to quit cigarettes, as long as you observe the obvious fact that you do not inhale, but just taste.
Dip Copenhagen evergreen every once in awhile when I'm feeling like spitting with manly abandon.

>>16531709
I live in Sweden, we don't really have a huge selection of ciggies, we do have a lot of snus tho. Maybe someone would trade me for some snus? idk lol

>>16531710
I bought a pipe and a variety of decent tobacco. It basically all tastes like warm water vapor to me. I smoke turquoise american spirit which I think is fairly strong

>>16531804
Sounds like you're a wet smoker (you produce a lot of spit). As dumb as it sounds I'd watch a couple videos on how to slow roll a light, so you don't burn your tobacco and so you get a nice cherry ember. It's not as easy as it sounds. Takes some finesse and practice. You really got to practice on slow patient breaths, ideally through your nose. Believe it or not, there is a lot of flavor in there. But it needs patience and practice.

>>16531821
I’ll look into it. Thanks anon

>Never been able to find unfiltered American Spirits but I’d buy a pack if I could.
Just buy some loose American Spirits tobacco in a pouch and roll your own. It's not hard, and you save a ton of money. I've been buying the nicest, most expensive cig tobacco that my local tobacconists shop has, and it still works out to literal pennies per smoke.

>>16532764
This is the way to do it if you smoke often.
I roll them one at a time so I don't chain smoke when I'm drunk.

Quit cigs for vaping. I don't reek, it's less cancerous, it's way cheaper and I can do it inside without it ruining my apartment.

But it still doesn't hit the spot like a cig does. I still smoke a few cigs once or twice per month.

it's not tobacco but i'm enjoying nicotine pouches. here's what came in the mail today. currently using whitefox and i found it pretty good.

Oh cool, how are you planning on cooking them? I usually just boil mine before I eat them.

Jk I'm not a retard like you kek

>>16533786

Every time someone smokes near me the aroma is simply intoxicating, but whenever I smoke, even the same brand, it never tastes quite right.

Someone said Luckies taste like a smore, and when someone smoked one near me I could practical taste the melty chocolate and gooey marshmallow, but then I light up one and it tastes like I'm burning a wet dog.

>>16533955

I think the additives in cigs are formulated to make them smell much better than they taste. I always like the aroma of cigarette smoke but the one time I tried a cigarette it just tasted like burning chemicals

sorry, my bad. the skruf one is tobacco though. I'm 97% sure

One of the only reasons why I still live in Norway is because I can get snus here. Only Norway and Sweden allow it in the EU. I have no idea what is so fucking dangerous about it.

Fuck off shitlickers, this is now an /x/ posting thread. It's a fucking

As I am continuing to smoke pipes and cigars, and continually experiencing "tongue bite" even with all possible precautions, I am beginning to realize that I just might have an over sensitive mouth. I'm watching guides and tutorials and seeing guys puffing smoke that would scorch my mouth if I recreated it exactly. Anyone else experience over sensitivity when they started smoking? When did it go away?

>>16535696
Not sure what your issue is, but that's probably because it has nothing to do with food or cooking.

>>16535696
If you pull your tongue back so the smoke doesn't immediately give you the biting sensation (think how you would start to make an L sound) you can retrohale for flavor and then work on developing a tolerance to bite over time

Smoked a cuban cigar the other day
>pic related
I have to say it was excellent. I always though Cuban cigars were just a meme, so never bothered spending the extra cash on them. This cigar changed my mind.

>>16535696
You're probably smoking it too fast, if it gets too hot, it'll make that tongue bite, it could also probably from too much virginia flakes in your tobacco, try out something else.

>>16535524
Some are a little more harsh. Cheyennes are less than regular cigarettes but they have a really hard pull and are over packed.

>>16531155
I've never actually seen those AS packs in real life. Where do they sell them?

>>16531673

tobacco is bad for you

Will this give me cancer?

>>16538476
Probably not

>>16538476
They're kind of a new thing, and sure it doesn't have any tobacco in it, but think those usually have artificial flavorings, artificial sweeteners, and some other stuff. Take that as you will. I think the only form of tobacco that isn't commonly link to cancer is snus.

>>16534499
/x/ turning to shit was such an absolute shame. Used to be my favorite board for years.

>>16535696
Normal to get tongue bite when starting out. Most people who start smoking pipes quit bc of bite. It's the hobby's way of weeding newfags. Three ways to overcome it:
1. Smoke slower. Watch Muttonchop Pipers vid on cadence, it helps
2. Pack your pipe better. Work on the three-pinch method. Too tight or too loose can fuck your tongue up, but especially too tight. Draw should be like sucking a light milkshake through a normal sized straw.
3. Start with cooler tobaccos. Keep away from aromatics. They bite the worst. Virginias do, too. Both have higher sugar contents. Instead, get blends with more burley or latakia. Much more gentle on the tongue.

Good luck and keep at it, bro

>>16531155
Do RYO tobaccos have the same fire safety bullshit as commercial cigarettes? Lots of people online say cigarettes tasted much better before obunga mandated all cigs have fire safe chemicals added to them

when I started smoking pipe this happened to me with aromatics, they smelled great, but tasted like nothing

Honestly? a lot of aromatics aren't very good, they're ok at the begining if you burn it cool, but they die off at the mid point
if you burn it hot? going to be a bad experience, and a lot of them burn very hot even for an experienced guy

There's ofcourse good ones, but i feel like unless you know what you're buying, you're likely to get a dud

English blends are really good to start with, lots of flavour, burn's cool

>>16540822

Every time I smoke mild cigars they taste like fucking nothing.
This leads to me buying super harsh hard hitting cigars which I love but every guest that smokes them usually can only get halfway through. I do stock milds for guests now, but I'm curious:
Is there something wrong with my tastes or are mild mellow cigars really that tasteless?
Does anyone know any medium body cigars that are worthwhile?

>>16536568
I love Habanos, but they're definitely a meme price-wise.
Strangely it's easier (and somehow cheaper) to get Cuban cigars in my part of Asia than anything New World, so all the stuff you Yanks smoke seem even more memey to me.

You aren't drying your tobacco enough. I usually set out my tobacco on a white piece of paper for at least a few hours before
Pipe tobacco that stays wet even after hours or more of drying has propylene glycol added to it. That's usually a sign of a cheap and shitty tobacco.
Depending on what you're smoking, like for example something like a pure cavendish or a blend with a lot of burley, it's still going to be pretty underwhelming. I switched to pure virginias and some latakia blends and I haven't looked back to aromatics.

>>16532518
Clearly you've never smoked a cigarette and had to don a mask immediately after. I love the smell of the bugler and lucky strikes I smoke, but having your mouth/upper lip back up on you is very unpleasant right after a cig. I would definitely quit if I had a girlfriend.

>>16531155
these are what you should be after.

Destino al siglo phantom and some bourbon root beer. Ribeyes on the grill. Might be one of the best cigars I've ever smoked but boy is the strength deceiving in the last 3rd.

Tea is implicitly associated with food already, because when you have tea you are more likely to have it with a snack such as a biscuit (it is even a tradition to do so in some countries). I can't recall there being any such tradition existing with regards to food and smoking (though I know it is more common to do so after eating), so naturally there is a weaker association between food and smoking compared to with food and tea. Besides the process of preparing tea is far more comparable to cooking, and there is more considerable overlap too when you consider spices.

@16551026
Cared enough to give me a (You) :)

>>16551060
There are lots of traditions when it comes to smoking while eating or drinking all over the world, it's extremely common

You say people are more likely to have tea with a snack, everyone I know personally has a snack or a drink with their pipe or cigar

you find it weaker of an association because you're ignorant

The proccess of perparing tea isn't similar to cooking at all, no one I've ever spoken to that is in the hobby of drinking tea, has made that association, i've only ever seen it bought up now by you.

there's a considerable amount of spices and other things other than tobacco, mixed into tobacco

I do all of this, the tongue bite, like I said, comes on the second light. If I do not draw while lighting, how can I light the tobacco? I think it's just my mouth getting used to the smoke, not much that can be done to avoid it if it is not possible to be avoided.

Anecdotal evidence, I know smokers and they don't do this

>The proccess of perparing tea isn't similar to cooking at all

Why not?

>there's a considerable amount of spices and other things other than tobacco, mixed into tobacco

Fair

I should also add that tea is consumed differently than tobacco, so this isn't really a fair comparison to make since the tea you drink during or after a meal is actually digested by your body. The tobacco you smoke during or after a meal isn't digested.

>>16551157

Unfortuantly, I don't respect this conversation enough to start educating you or providing sources for my statements
Because our conversation is meaningless to getting this thread to stay or not


Anecdotal evidence is on both sides

Again, I don't respect this conversation enough to stard educating you, if you want to know more about tea, then go lurk in the thread

You're moving goal posts
So now the criteria isn't what you said originally, but what does or does not get digested in the body

my cigarbid strategy has once again backfired on me. I bid on 75 CAO Brazilia GOL! 5-packs with a maximum bid of $10. Usually when I low ball a massive quantity like this I wind up just a couple. well I went to bed last night and I was still winning 54 of them. With only 4 hours left its only gone down to 40. oh fuck. and what I don't understand is, my bid is at $10 with no maximum bid, yet for anyone to snag one of my $10 5-packs they have to bid a minimum of $12? wtf? you can't outbid me with $10.50 or $11? I know I've done that before. There's something screwy going on.

American Spirit Nonfilter. A favorite but suffers from poor combustion, requiring multiple warming-puffs to minimize CO generation, a possible consequence of the paper. The FSC material is also rather nasty alginate derivative that otherwise is captured by the filter on their other tobaccos and repeated smokes will give a headache.

Cigarette Rating 6.5/10. - Decent. Would be much excellent 10/10 if construction was correct.

>>16531168
Parliaments have a subpar body. The full strength ones are decent and similar to Marlboro with a fraction of the body.

Rating 4/10 - Acceptable.

Nat Sherman MCDs, second only to the Havana Ovals they offered. A fine smoke and a sorry occasion that Altria has chosen to discontinue the LOB.

It doesn't work like this as other cigarettes use reconstituted sheet, which is easily discernable when the filter is removed.
>>16533546
American Sprit Yellow. Dislike it intensely. Lousy, smoke, poor body, like sucking on a straw with a milkshake and nothing is coming through by wispy airy, flavorless.

2/10 - Worse.

>>16540202
No. And not all FSC in cigarettes is equal. Some FSCs are just thicker paper bands, others are vinyl acetates or alginate. Stick with the former. In any case, they increase CO by 20% and you will get a headache if you do not maintain a hot burn, especially with repeated smokes.

>>16551920
>Some FSCs are just thicker paper bands, others are vinyl acetates or alginate.
Do you happen to know which cigarettes use only paper?

>>16551701

>>16551962
Formulations change, find the maker of your cigarette and ask the manufacturer. There are consumer point of contacts that will disclose the paper composition of individual cigarettes. It will be difficult as most entry level tobacco people do not know what they are talking about but you'll get an answer if you are persistent enough but expect an email response by someone else. Contact Altria (Phillip Morris US name), or RJR/BTI depending on who makes what.

I'll probably sell a dozen 5-packs for $15 each to some dudes in my city. but I think I may have stumbled on a way to game cigarbid.

>>16531155
When I lived in the US, I exclusively smoked Djarum blacks, but I was never able to find them in the UK so I started smoking Marlboro Ice Blast. They are shit, honestly. I miss my. Djarums.

>>16552038
>be UK
>be overrun with pakis but not their cigs

>>16552017
Fair enough. I think they were far better before CI bought them anyway.

>>16552038
Djarum blacks are my preferred smoke as well. I like the sweetness when you first light it especially, and that they are black makes people come over and talk to me when I’m smoking outside. Just wish they came in normal size packs

>>16531155
Tobacco smoking is not food and/or cooking

>>16552038
>>16552171
Reminder, clove cigarettes contain eugenol which has antiviral, antiinflammatory, and antioxidant effects. This is in addition to the antiviral effects of nicotine and NO from tobacco. I've smoked since COVID started, never wore the mask, been around people who have had it, and never gotten sick once.

>>16552076
werent they always owned by CI? I know they always claimed otherwise but they had the exact same product, descriptions, packaging, and they even had CI branded merchandise and youd get fricken CI matchbooks in your shipping box. I dont know who owns them now but they merged with Thompsons auction.

CI and cbid does some shit shady shit. they sell the same garbage un-banded cigars as premium branded 2nds and fumas, but its the same damn stick. I got Alec Bradley Tempus Fumas, Man o War seconds, and wink wink we cant tell you its Olivia but we suggested its Olivia and we had our employees anonymously post that they were Oliva seconds on forums.

each of those were the same garbage cigar that had no tobacco from those premium brands.

>>16552207
Yeah I've generally stayed away from CI/cbid in the past 10 years. And sorry, CAO was bought by Scandanavian tobacco group in 2007. Theres so much brand fuckery these days I try to stay out of it. Boutique cigars are where its at.

Hi, mod here (I'm not logged in at the moment). I just wanted to let you all know that I am going to request /tbg/-Tobacco General be moved to another board due to several complaints I've been getting. This thread is not related to food and cooking (see picrel). We have a new board, /hc/ Hardcore, for discussion of drugs and other things might not be appropriate for an audience under 21 (anything related to tobacco, marijuana, alcohol, gambling, etc.) Have fun!

Corn cob pipes are comfy with pipe tobacco

>>16552314
oh I thought we were talking about who owned cigarbid, not CAO.

not up on CAO's line, the last new cigar by them I smoked was the Sapronos line and I think thats been discontinued for like 8 years. but I've been smoking Brazilias for 15+ years and they've stayed the same

>>16552405
nice pipe, why don't you actually use it

>>16552498
Since they're so cheap I buy a new one every time my old one is burnt up and chewed up. They're like $6 and come in all shapes and sizes. That one is my 15th or 20th cob

it worked out boys. won 11 of at $10, and man I cant believe I won 22 diesels at $8 a 5 pack. goddamn I wasnt even sweating that because I thought there wae no way I was gonna win even 1 at that price

I tried getting into pipe smoking but sucked at it. Could never really get into the nuance of it. Cigars and cigarillos are kino though. Would only smoke cigarettes if I could roll my own and make it extra strong and tasty with some good tobacco.

>>16548559
Why would you willingly want to get into smoking
It’s shit for your lungs and your body, and it’s very easy to become addicted, and once you’re addicted the cravings never really go away, even if you do manage to quit. It’s fucking shit man, don’t get into this just because it seems fun. It’s not worth it.

>>16562566
Not him but I imagine it's not pleasant to smoke then put on a mask to go inside. That smell trapped on your nose all day would be ass to me. Also, I've smoked several cigars and having to do so outside in the cold isn't really enjoyable and I imagine the 3 minutes a smoker takes isn't great either.

>>16561302
Why are you so dismissive of Pease and praise average blends like Peterson, Sasieni and Larsen?
What Pease have you actually tried?

>>16562566
>It’s shit for your lungs and your body
Prove it.
>and it’s very easy to become addicted
Prove it.
>you’re addicted the cravings never really go away, even if you do manage to quit. It’s fucking shit man, don’t get into this just because it seems fun. It’s not worth it.
False. I've quit smoking for year long periods and have had no urges to redose. Sounds like you're low IQ.

>>16562729
no shit that guy is fucking batso. I don't even smoke pipe anymore, but if I was ever going to have 1 more bowl it would probably be Maltese Falcon or Union Square

How much should you space out smoking a pack to not get addicted from it? Is one cig per day too much already?

So I've recently gotten in the habit of putting straight cigarette tobacco in my pipes and smoking 50% weed 50% American spirit. Not even to save weed, just cause I'm enjoying it more. How much trash am I?

camels on the border of turkey!

>>16562900
addiction is more about the ritual/routine. it starts with boredom, then meals, then bathroom breaks, then blinking, then etc. etc. better to see it as a treat/reward for finishing something and not something to fill the time.

>>16562375
Back in the day Sampoerna Extra were the best. Do those still exist?

>>16562769
The only Pease blend I smoked was Gaslight, I loved it at first smoke and no Dunhill/Peterson blend came close (I do like Dunhill and Peterson don't get me wrong but it's no comparison). It's been a few years since I actually smoked some and I have a 5 year old Gaslight tin looking like it's ready to burst, it's literally expanded like a years old can of fruit.
Maltese Falcon and Quiet Nights is on my to-do list, Union Square worth it as well?
There's nothing like getting your tobacco in big ol' plug and carving it up for yourself, I'd recommend Gaslight to any English blend lovers reading this.

>>16562962
Is it a bad idea to smoke whenever I do something really fun, e.g. on festivals or when camping? Those are the situations where I would like it the most, but I fear that I can never enjoy them without smoking again

I don't understand that shit. Just stop buying cigarrettes. What are you gonna do go rob a store for a pack or use colillas from the ground? Just stop buying and stay away from smokers. Go do something you smoke when bore (or stressed) so even if you get stressed you will not get back cause you don't havr fucking ciggies. Is as simple as that

>>16565688
Woah, just don’t buy the cigarettes!
Why have I never thought of that !!

smoking is literally the only thing I still enjoy in life why the fuck would I quit for my health when I'd probably just blow brains out from no longer having anything that I enjoyed in life

>>16557303
Nothing special. Rolling Rock. Drinking it again tonight. Cheers!

>>16566263
It's a money drain tho

>>16566263
Try getting a hobby, no one is going to make your life more interesting or fun for you, you’re the master of yourself.
If you want to continue being miserable and use smoking as an escape than so be it, but nothing will ever change and this will be your entire life.
You CAN change, you can make your life interesting and fulfilling and fun and an adventure, but you have to put in the effort to achieve these things, it will not come down from the sky.
You do not need to be wealthy to have these things, you just need to cultivate the right mindset in order to drive you, which you CAN do, you are not broken, you may feel that way but that is because you are stuck in your current mindset and you don’t see any way out.
You can get out though.

>>16566352
Money you enjoy spending is not wasted poorfag. Some morons blow thousands taking their fat wives and dumb kids to disneyland. You can't tell me they're having a better time than grilling and smoking rare nicuraguans.

There's only so much bootstrapping an atomized individual can do. You zero control over your thoughts a moderate amount for desires. You have zero control over your genetics, upbringing, and people around you. Some people got dealt shit hands in every category and can't recover.

>>16566993
You absolutely do not have zero control over your thoughts, you can 100% train your thinking, it takes time and effort and practice every day but you can change automatic pathways in your brain, Dr. Thomas A. Richards has a really good course for this, it’s designed for social anxiety but it’s applicable to all kinds of automatic negative thinking. You can find the torrent for his audio tapes and the PDF of the workbook if you search for it.

>>16566639
All of our activites in life are for killing time and to distract ourselves from thinking about reality and to function as slabs of meat
Only your ego justifcations is telling you that your way to live life is more meaningful or correct
addiction, becoming a better human, work, thinking that what you do, what your actions are mean something
it's all the same, stop lying to yourself, you've just surronded yourself with more layers of distractions and justifcations, for good reason

>>16566945
I'm a poorfag tho. Money is tight. I need to stop smoking. But I enjoy the fuck out of it.

So stash back 5 nice sticks in a tupperware with a boveda pack. You are no longer habitually smoking, you are habitually looking for the PERFECT time to light up something nice. When you get down to the last cigar, order another 5 pack or sampler.

>>16565545
stop.

To any and all fellow cigar smokers. I want to run something by you.
What do you prefer to light your cigars with?
>regular store matches (including light anywhere, strike-on box)
>Zippo or similar fuel flame lighter
>Cigar specialty matches

>>16569909
The reason lighters have such a bad name when it comes to lighting cigars is because gasoline lighters used to be the ubiquitous type. This was a problem because gasoline flame leaves a very distinct and unpleasant odor on a cigar. Butane lighters, however, are practically odorless so now that they're what everyone has it's no longer an issue to use a lighter to light cigars.

>>16569909
bic lighter

>>16569971
Dammit, I knew I had forgotten a lighter type.
I use either cigar matches (box gift from my last ex) or my zippo (regular not butane) if I'm extremely lazy.
On that same note, I watched in amusement as a friend attempted to light a cigar with a Zippo arc lighter the previous weekend. Good for general fire starting and cigs. But not for cigars.

>>16569909
Butane torch, preferably flat flame.

used to love smoking hookah/shisha with my bros. we'd hit up a local cafe, play some card games, drink some mint tea.

i find the flavor of weed and tobacco to synergize excellently. shame i hate the high from marijuana, i love mixing the two.

>>16534982
Low income people smoke these

I smoke American Spirits myself, got the light green ones but I switch on & off from menthol to non menthol every now & then. Have been cutting down though because I want to quit soon. Went without for like 2 days but I caved & bought a few packs yesterday, haven't smoked much though

>>16532791
>>16533526
>this, I'm on 24mg and I've never gotten the same buzz from cigs
and you never will becaues tobacco also contains some naturally occuring MAOIs, which are a class of anti-depressant drugs. they act synergically with the nicotine. it also makes cigs more addictive.

vaping is based tho, fuck everyone who hates it for no reason. I love it.

>>16569909
I like a lighter that does torch and sift flame.
The torch is good for toasting and touch ups, but I prefer a soft flame for that first light up.

properly humidified, how long can a cigar stay good?

>>16573086
>>16571495
some vape juices have tobacco particulates and so I would imagine you'd be more likely to get a buzz from them

>>16574008
The guy at Cigar Obsession says that he notices a drastic decline in flavor after cigars have been aging for 5 years, but that’s with new world cigars so I don’t know about Cubans. But as far as being purely smokeable then I assume that as long the proper humidity and temperature are maintained and cigar beetle eggs don’t hatch they should last indefinitely
