  • 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.

My derby buddy smokes cigarettes and stated last night he wish he could stop. He has a vape mod he smokes, but it isn't his thing. He tried cigars, but one made him sick and he hasn't touched them since. I mentioned that I smoked pipes and he was like, that would be cool. So I am putting together a start pack for him. Can yall go through and see if I'm missing anything?

*Pipe- Dr. G estate that I've cleaned up
*Czech tool
*Bic lighter
*Baccy- I wanted to start him on something that wasn't too lat heavy, but wasn't too bland. SPC/Frog morton maybe? Any baccy suggestions would be happily accepted
*Tupperware to store it all in

Thanks guys!

Emp and a cob, I like the idea of heavier nicotine blends

The Dunhills in general are easy starter baccys
Out of the Dunhills I have, which do you suggest?
Nightcap
De Luxe Navy Rolls (I think If I do give him some, I'll rub it out for him... can't believe I just typed that..)
London Mixture
Mixture 965

I've been on a Mac-Baren kick, so thats what my stock is atm. I've only noticed nicotine from one bowl ever, so I don't know what will have heavier nic kicks.. lol

H&H steamroller was an easy burner, too. Was thinking a bit of that, too. I love getting people started in my hobby :)

I'm not w macbaren fan much other than odf and Latakia flake tried some when I started out with pipes and found out what tongue bite was really quick

I'd go navy rolls, you never know with lat blends he may love them so I'd prob go ahead with some nightcap and London

I also see some emp in your future

Definitely vote for the royal yacht and nightcap. Those two really were the ones that got me hooked, I think your buddy would enjoy that selection
