try this one
its like smoking a fine cigar but you have to pay about 30$ for one packet. i was trying to quit smoking but then i thought 5 cigarettes per day wont kill me. actually it gives more pleasure when you smoke less.
I smoke nearly a pack a day, and I love smoking. It's probably just me being disillusioned by the additives in tobacco though, but I love taking my 5 minute break from the world. Just sitting down and soothe myself with a cigarette, while not letting a thing in the world bother me.
I used to smoke a lot a few years ago in early high school because everyone was doing it.... Never liked it that much, it's good when you're standing around waiting and have nothing to do but to smoke tobacco regularly.... I was never addicted to it, and I just found no use in smoking.
Weed, on the other hand That's something I smoke all the time every day.
I stopped smoking during the week 3 weeks ago after a bad party which ended with puking till 9AM and having a heavy lung like a 80yo while laying in bed. I felt like dying. Besides I am short on money atm. So now i ration my cigs when i go drinking to something like 8 cigs because not smoking while drunk is impossible for me right now
I like the woodtipped Wine Black n' milds the most. I find that it yields a much smoother smoke than the plastic tipped counterparts while absorbing the flavor within. It's pipe tobacco, and I was taught not to inhale only to bring the smoke into your mouth to enjoy it.
I find it's a very soothing smoke to have when going on a warm nights walk with a friend, or having some 'me' time after a very tiring day at work.
If you smoke it nice and slow like you should smoke pipe tobacco, it will last usually around an hour. For me atleast. The tobacco is already pretty dry when you take it out of the wrapper so if you start puffin' it like a cigarette it will start to run hot and absolutely ruin the flavor. I haven't timed myself or anything, but if I were to guess, I would say I usually take a hit of the Black maybe once or twice every one or two minutes.
Got to take it nice and slow with calm hits and smooth exhales.
Not a regular smoker but I have to say the hookah is the way to do it. And not one of those toy ones that are made of purple plastic. NO! A big one that stands on the floor with 2 massive manly pipes and some hot coal on top.
Cigarettes are just a boring way to die when compared to the mighty hookah!
Not sure how many of you will find this entertaining. I'm reading a biography of Bob Newhart right now, and he mentioned this comedy skit related to Tobacco.
It's about an Englishman on the phone with an American colonist who is trying to tell him about tobacco, and it's uses. Sounds pretty fucking stupid when you list the actual uses of Tobacco.
Not to piss on your parade, but Chuck Norris looks cool, not the cigar in his mouth. It's kind of like saying you'll look like a model if you wear the same brand of underwear as a model. No, you'll still look like you always do.

I have 2 pipes, one is already seasoned (broken in) and on is about halfway done. I find smoking pipes fun and relaxing. I also smoke the occasional cigar but I probably only smoke once a week in all.
Please if you dont smoke NEVER try it, its not cool and its expensive. As with all addictions it just hard to stop, so its better to never start
with that public service announcement out of the way, i used to smoke like a train everyday.... try to stop but still havent been able to, Indonesia doesnt have a strict smoking restriction in where you can smoke, so i try to restrict myself, only in the toilet and outside the house/buildings, it really does cut down on how much i smoke, but when im out with friends all day i can smoke up to 2 packs a day,
I smoke a handrolled cig everyday after lunch if it's sunny outside. Nothing is more relaxing after going to early morning classes.
I tend to smoke Bali Shag or Drum as that's fairly easy to get around here. My friend from Ann Arbor picked me up some Maison Edwards tobacco and I can say that was one of my best tasting / smoothest smokes I've had in awhile.
My question to all you other smokers out there, why not switch to hand rolled? It's cheaper, you can add filters if you want to AND even if you can't roll with your hands, you can buy one of those little rollers for like a buck. Also you can limit how much tobacco you put in per cigarette, which can really help if you are trying to quit.
There's nothing stopping you really. The initial expense can be quite substantial (depending on the pipe type, tobacco and accessories) but here are some helpful hints for anyone who'd like to start smoking the pipe:
1) Do your research first. Read on pipe smoking before you get into it. It's highly sophisticated process, comparable to the Japanese tea ceremony. Here's some good guide to read first: http://www.notsoboringlife.com/food-and-drink/pipe-smoking/
2) Start by purchasing a cheap pipe (not the cheapest one around, those tend to suck, aim for the bottom-mid, mid-priced one. Good, mid-priced pipes cost around $50) that suits your aesthethic taste and feels good in your hand. Another thing you'll need is some tobacco pipe (here try to aim for a middle-ground in the price too, you could go rushing to get the most expensive one which would then turn out to be distasteful for you.), good idea here would be to find some way of trying out various brands first, perhaps from someone already smoking a pipe. Good beginner's choice: http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend_detail.cfm?ALPHA=O&TID=708 And the last thing, the pipe utility tool (which also serves great as a keychain). 3 in 1 czech tool will do just fine for starters and it costs around $5 along with some pipe cleaners and a lighter (not Zippo-like, you want a butane one) or matches.
Stopping toboaco use was the best thing i ever did i think. I stopped "snus" (swedish snuff?) a few months ago. The best part about it is that when you are at a party or something and actually do smoke a cigarette/snus, its the best thing ever, since its such a rare treat now.
