  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

One great thing about smoking a pipe

Yep, that and it truly is a poor man way to indulge. I was just thinking today about how much less I spend and how much I enjoy it.

And getting around three pounds of baccy for your birthday doesn't hurt! 😉

One other draw for me is that if not smoking a lat bomb like pirate cake, the other half doesn't even know I smoked a pipe on my way to work. The aroma of pipe to cigar is so different when considering the lingering aspect in something like a vehicle. Its pretty cool.

I know. And I'm finding myself reaching for cigars less and less these days. I always have a couple of bowls of baccy everyday tho.

You need to listen the the smoking pipes radio podcast, he had a couple of doctors on who stated how pipe smoking is the least harmful of any tobacco use. My wife got onboard with pipes after that.

She knows about the lack of significant evidence for both pipe and cigars, before I started smoking I pulled some case studies and talked to a few of the surgeons/ents I work with ironically a few of them smoke cigars

She just doesn't care for being around the smoke

Best way to end a cigars life is to take the tobacco and stick the rest into your pipe and enjoy it....waste not want not.
Can you elaborate on this method? Do you crumble it and tamp, or just set the cigar in the pipe and draw through the pipe?
