Any Pipe Smokers Out There?

Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if there are any pipe smokers out there in Tacoma World? I know there are posts about cigars, bourbons, whiskeys,... and Pipe smoking pairs well with all of those (especially bourbon and whiskey).
Anyway, if there are, just wondering what are your favorite kinds of pipes, tobacco, time of day, pairings, and that kind of thing.

G.P

 

Is a bong considered a pipe?

 

Back in the day, I'd say, "Hell Yeah!!".

 

I have some antique kaywoodies.
Interesting history, and very nice smoking pipes, with beautiful grain, and form.
This is my favorite https://www.pipesandcigars.com/mobile/p/cult-blood-red-moon-pipe-tobacco/1478834/

 

My favorite is a drinkless carburetor apple that as far as I can tell is a pre wwII model in apple shape.

I bought a corncob pipe years ago, mostly as a gag for a group camping trip. I ended up enjoying it and held onto it. I currently have a Missouri Meerschaum corncob pipe that seems nice to me.

So far, my favorite tobacco is Black Cavendish. But, I like others as well. My grandpa smoked Half and Half, and I buy it sometimes just because it reminds me of him.

I generally only smoke when I am camping or fishing, or sitting around a bonfire with friends. I quit smoking cigarettes in '16, so I used the pipe as an alternative because I don't ever want to smoke a cigarette again.

I also like cheap cigars. Backwoods, usually. I have had some really good cigars, and they're just not my thing.

 

Nice, I'm kind of new with pipes, started last year. I just bought a Cherry blend and an aromatic Chocolate Eclair. I'm waiting for them to come in the mail, along with a new pipe:

Corncob always seems to burn hot to me.

If you watch etsy you can find the old pipes when craftsmen made them, for a reasonable price.

 

Just got this in the mail. Pretty average grade, But not really impresssed. I expected more cherry flavor.

Yeah man, cherry is a very hard flavor to get right. Usually tastes like cough syrup or is so hot you can't enjoy it.

Cult blood red moon is actually right.

This is another tinned tobacco I like.

I know it seems expensive, but quality in moderation, is much more enjoyable than big lots of stuff I don't enjoy anyway.

In addition my wife loves the smell of both of them.

Whatever you do, don't look at lip, tongue, gum cancers on line! Or maybe you should?

 

Totally understand. I don't smoke a pipe very often.
