Last thread >>2844498This is a thread for enjoying a pipe while doing outdoor activities. If you ask why this belongs on /out/, you've never spentan evening by the campfire with a pipe silently enjoying the nature around you, and you're missing out.>how to get startedPurchase a corn cob pipe (or a cheap briar pipe) and a pouch of Half and Half or Captain Black tobacco from a smoke shopor online. You will need a lighter or match, and something to tamp it with--a large nail works well if you don't have a pipe tool.Fill the pipe with tobacco, pack it down halfway, top it off, pack it down to 3/4, top it off again, pack gently and enjoy. Smokeslower than you think you need to, the tobacco tastes best when it is burning cool. Tamp and re-light as needed. If you stillhave trouble, try different methods on YouTube until you find one that works for you.>smoking a pipe will give you cancerOriginally the Surgeon General found that pipe and cigar smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time whenmost adults smoked, so they had a good sample size), had insignificant death rate increases. Nowadays, tobacco is beinglegislated against while hard drugs are being legalized. Put two and two together. Tobacco is just another good thing under attack by the government.>muh weedNot the time or place. Start your own thread.All tobacco users welcome.
>>2856593>Nowadays, tobacco is being>legislated against while hard drugs are being legalized. Put two and two together. Tobacco is just another good thing under attack by the government.Also, they lump commercial cigarette smokers in with cigar and pipe smokers. They used to differentiate them, but they no longer do that because it would reveal how horrible cigarettes are for you, and they're probably even worse now. Honestly, I'm curious about what vape does to the body. Vapes are still too new to know I think, but even in their newness they were attributed to causing popcorn lung. And there's all kinds of contaminants people put in the juice that are linked to other things. I wonder where the data will point 50 years from now.
in your guy's experience, which seems to smoke cooler &/or dryer?>peterson/savinelli dry system>reverse calabash cooling chamber
Anyone have an thoughts about pipe tobacco I should buy while in Europe?
Does "aged" tobacco begin to smell a bit funky, like maybe it's been fermented? I'm the anon from last thread who opened a tin of Riverboat Gambler and there was 1 very moldy, white, small piece of tobacco at the top of the tin. Something that I think I forgot to mention is that when I received the tin, it already had almost 2 years worth of age on it. I guess not many people buy it. I didn't find any other moldy pieces of tobacco, and I transferred it to a mason jar, but the tin note still has some fermented style funk to it. It tastes mostly fine, except maybe in the last ~15% of the bowl, the funk will start coming through, but it's kind of a good funk. I'm really not sure if this is normal because I only really buy bulk, and the few tins I've purchased have all been fresh, like within a couple months of being produced, and none of them have had mold. I've been smoking it, but I feel like I'm smoking it less than I want to because of the funky smell.
>>2856593>Captain Black tobaccoThis smelled so awful straight from the pouch, but after letting it dry out a bit I can see why it's the only real pipe tobacco you can still find everywhere.
>>2856674Schürch if you can get it. They have some of the finest English blends on the market. Schürch is based in Switzerland and is one old blind guy who is blending exclusively by his sense of smell and touch. Their blends score constantly high in every review and are a bit of a cult in Italy.
>>2856733this is the old fellow who does the magic. Downside, they don't have a working online shop, so you have to either visit in person or buy from a few retailers in Italy or France.
>>2856657Savinelli #1. Very easy to clean. Can be used with or without filters. Peterson has had serious QC issues in recent years relating to drilling. Savinelli is the sensible choice forI have no reverse calabash experience, so I make no comment.
SEATTLE PIPE CLUB IS BACK!!! I had heard that C&D was out of the picture as far as acquiring SPC, but I always felt that C&D would do the best job with SPC. Looks like they thought so too. I’m interested in trying the new C&D stuff, since I know that it will taste a bit different, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing, especially since I felt Plum Pudding was becoming less flavorful than it had been 4+ years ago.
>>2856691Yes. Same with aging cigars, the fermentation process releases some ammonia. When you first open your tin/jar/humidor, the smell is going to be pretty pungent because of all the ammonia. Let it air out a bit and you’ll begin to smell the actual tobacco.
>>2856593>Originally the Surgeon General found that pipe and cigar smokers, following a careful study of the statistics (at a time when most adults smoked, so they had a good sample size), had insignificant death rate increases. Fake news. The "time" you reference was when Big Tobacco pulled the strings on nearly everything in society, including studies that "proved" their products weren't harmful. That proved to be wrong as time progressed and more studies were conducted. Smoking causes cancer; denial of that fact is cope.
>>2856797Pic related.
>>2856802not reading all that
>>2856805If you're not willing to read, how are you going to go through the data?Pipe smoking is risky, it increases your odds for head, neck, and other cancers. It's less harmful than cigarettes, but obviously there's still nonzero harm.Alcohol also drastically increases your cancer risk, especially in combination with tobacco products as it disrupts your mucous membranes.Sunbathing increases your cancer risk, too. So does living near a highway, or being exposed to VOCs or dust chronically in a workplace, spending too much time in a radon-filled basement, or commuting daily in heavy traffic. Eating processed meat a few times a week is in roughly the same carcinogenic risk category as occasionally smoking a pipe.Sitting on your ass and shitposting too late into the night for too many years is about as hazardous for your health long-term.The cancers you usually see from pipe smoking are generally very visible at early stages, as head, neck, tongue, larynx, and throat are regulary and easily inspected at your physical or dentist checkup. There's provable risks to just about every vice a human being can enjoy, but it's up to every adult to figure out for themselves whether what they gain is worth the potential cost.If you're otherwise a reasonably healthy person without other vices, getting out and about with a pipe every now and again really isn't the worst thing you can do.
>>2856810This. There are so many things that cause cancer now, and I don’t think pipe smoking or cigar smoking are among the most dangerous of them. Like I always say, there’s a reason pipe smoking is associated with old, gray, wrinkly men.
>>2856816I have microplastics in my balls and didn't even get to enjoy putting them there.
>>2856785C&D enjoyers are like pedophiles. How could you possibly enjoy smoking undercased and underaged leaf? It's like preferring little girls to grown women. C&D tobacco is always harsh.
>>2856782>Savinellido they use 6mm filters or 9mm filters in their system, because 6mm is a bitch to get.
>>2856593Does anyone have links to a pipe/tobacco website that used to be posted ITT all the time?Sorry I can't be specific memory is hazy. Used to have it bookmarked but lost my laptop a while back
>>28568526mm, but they're not hard to get and you don't need them. I used to always use a filter, and now, I never do. Savinelli makes my favorite, which is just a balsa wood triangle. Medico, White Elephant, Vauen, and Dr. Grabo all make 6mm filters. You can even buy them on Amazon. They are not hard to find.
>>28568634noggins? Smokingpipes?
>>2856845They’re the most readily available of all the tobacco manufacturers. None of my favorite tobaccos are C&D, but they do have some good tobaccos that I know will always be there when I want them. My guess is they’ll use their aged stock for the SPC releases, as indicated on the Hogshead tin (10 year aged). It also explains why they’re keeping the prices high like the old SPC tins.
>>2856875Captain Black and his crewmates are arguably more readily available than C&D, you can get it same-day in a brick and mortar store almost anywhere.If you're ordering from a retailer, you can just as easily buy something else.
>>28568684noggins is 4 noggers. The owner has TDS and has repeatedly acted super unprofessional. >>2856875What about Peterson? It's also a Laudisi brand but made by a competent manufacturer.It's been a few years since I've bought pipe tobacco. Damn, prices have gone up like crazy. I remember when 50g tins were $10 and then $12. Is this a Trump thing? Nasal snuff shot up in price due to tariffs.
>>2856821You still can.>>>/jp/ona
>>2856893Already have enough pipes to clean, but thanks anon
>>2856797Freemasons own your scientific “studies”. Go ahead and believe everything they publish. I bet you took your shots, too.
