Last thread >>2856593This 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.
What's /out/ smoking now that spring is finally here?
>>2868476since the body is able to smell & taste more at higher humidity, i go for more nuanced/special blends that i collected during winter
is there a tobacco you guys would recommend to someone that tend to smoke too fast?
>>2868481i'd recommend finding a way to constrain the draw, like using a filter, an insert, or a stinger/condenser
>>2868481Maybe an aromatic. I don't like aromatics that much, but if you smoke aromatics too fast they taste even more like hot air than usual and they can give tongue bite. Maybe also learn the "breath method" and just do solely that for a while. Breath method is basically you just stick the pipe in your mouth and breath normally. Your tongue sort of acts as a diaphragm and draws the pipe for you anyway.
>>2868481Flake of any sort will slow you down. Five Brothers doesn't mind being smoked fast and hot.
>>2868476Englishes are almost complete out for me now! I don’t like em’ with warm weather.I tend to reach more towards brighter virginias in Spring and Summer—namely chasing that hayey, bready, and/or citrusy profile. Virginias and VaPers. Think Orlik, HH Virginia, Luxury Bullseye, Bayou Morning Flake. Yummy stuff (though today I think I fancy some tart Kentucky so it will probably be jackknife plug getting stuffed into a cob when I get home)
>>2868476It's almost time to stop smoking anything with a medium or large nic hit.
I’ve noticed that I tend to avoid my plug cut tobaccos, just because the preparation always seems too inconvenient in my head. But every time I actually smoke them it really isn’t too difficult to prepare and smoke and I’m always left wondering why I avoid them.I need to get over this silly little mental barrier
G.L. Pease blends really are impressively good, and represent some of the best quality leaf that comes out of the cornell & diehl factory. I think GLP even beats out the new Per G. Jensen line through c&d
>>2868595I'm slowly learning some of the stuff that was common knowledge 150 years ago.
>>2868476White Elephant Sahara. It's fine, but nothing beats Rattrey's Union Jack IMO.
