I recently got into pipe smoking ( tobacco

). I was curious how many pipe smokers there are on here. The wife makes me smoke in the garage but thats where my bikes are so that works fine for me and they dont complain. I am still trying to figure out the purpose of all the different pipes and sorting through the different tobaccos.

My father in law smokes one he likes the apple flavored tobacco.

So far I have tried about 5 different tobaccos. Woodlands, Royal Cavendish, Norseman, Crows, and what I assume is a "house tobacco" called Jasons Blend. My favorite is the Royal Cavendish and second is the Jasons Blend. I didnt see any apple flavored but I will look next time I go.

Yeah, I like corncob pipes the best...usually just whatever Cavendish from a good Tobacco shop, flavors?, vanilla and coffee have nice aroma and chicks often dig it.

I smoked pipe for years. Mac Baren Navy cut was the nicest I ever tried, I stopped searching with that one, but any Mac Baren is good. It all boils down to your taste and preference.

Also Balkan Sobranie was great.

Gosh all this memories coming back to me

Hookah pipes are popular down here at some of the bars.

I smoke a pipe. I have a few dozen. Never really got into which one is better. Just like to try something different each time. its more of a fasion choice, which one i think looks the best depending on my mood. And for tobacco I have not really found any i hate. I usually just mooch off a friend when we smoke at the pub.

Its relaxing that it.

I'm mostly a cigar smoker, but I do have a pipe. Usually while out camping....

I like smoking hookah and I also carved myself a corn cob pipe this summer, works pretty good, I had to put a little mesh filter in the bottom but it definitely looks cool. Used an old stem off of a hookah so its got a cool look IMO.

Roach Carver · « **Reply #12 on:** December 19, 2012, 06:14:17 PM »

I want to see a pic of this corn cob pipe.

ShermanPain · « **Reply #13 on:** December 19, 2012, 06:28:58 PM »

Here ya go! I ate the corn myself

cherries up pretty nicely and doesnt get too hot, just need to be careful no to smoke it while its hot

other view, sorry about the size im a newwb so cant post links yet

Roach Carver · « **Reply #15 on:** December 19, 2012, 06:34:31 PM »

I like. Whats too hot? Does the pipe burn? Is that why they make pipes out of briar.

ShermanPain · « **Reply #16 on:** December 19, 2012, 06:38:24 PM »

Doesnt burn but if you smoke a few bowls in a row while the pipe is hot it can heat up and crack. Not really a bit deal with a corncob because you can just carve out a new one. I do think that is why they make them out of briar.

Roach Carver · « **Reply #17 on:** December 19, 2012, 06:43:02 PM »

Great. Now I want to make one of those. I do live in arkansas. You would think that I would know how

Dammed straight. He'll live longer going that route.

Just may not be able to ride in a straight line every time though.

Once you brake the pipe in, the burning continues very slowly, but you shoud never refill hot pipe. Good rule is to never smoke the same pipe more than once a day. It helps the wood to "breathe" out the tar.

Corn pipes are softer and more like one season. Quality pipe will with bit of care last a lifetime.

I made several pipes from hard wood and they were not half bad if you knew how to smoke them. But the best is to ask expert in special store for pipe to fit your lifestyle, temperment and such - makes an amazing difference in the end experience.

Its pretty easy to make one. Eat some corn, wash it, cut it to the size you want, then bake it in an oven for 4 hours or so at 200F. I just used a pocket knife to carve it out because it had a thin blade. Carve a hole in the side at the bottom of the bowl and bake again for 2 hours. then figure out your stem/mouthpiece and you've got yourself a corncob pipe

I once made a pipe out of plumbing bits. Not a good idea.

Its therapeutic i find, carving and smoking. I just fired up a nice little evening bowl

i dont actually smoke it too much but it is nice once in a while.
