  3. Pipe Smokers Should Be Concerned About New Cigarette Laws

 

Different consumers use different types of tobacco. There are cigarette smokers, cigar smokers and pipe smokers.

Cigarette smokers are the most vilified people in today’s society, short of child predators, but not by much.

Pipes and cigars are considered "luxury tobaccos" and cigarettes are considered to be different, and rightly so in many ways. Cigarettes are a habit to provide a nicotine fix. I’m not sure why that’s so bad when people that drink coffee all day are left well enough alone. Let’s not even get into all the people that can’t even function throughout their day without their Lexapro, Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, or Cymbalta.

Personally, I do not smoke cigarettes as I do not like them. I tried them once a long time ago and it never stuck. So there’s one example that doesn’t go along with the hyperbolic instant addiction stories that are so readily bandied about. However, that is not what this article is about.

I am here to tell you that us pipe smokers and cigar smokers better be damned well concerned about what’s going on in the anti-cigarette crusades. While they mainly focus on cigarettes, did you ever hear any of these efforts actually referred to as I just did – as anti-cigarette? I doubt it. You always hear about anti-tobacco and anti-smoking efforts. The point is that these efforts crossover into luxury tobaccos.

This week, in Uruguay, there is a gathering of public health officials from 171 nations where they plan to agree on guidelines to enforce a global anti-smoking treaty.

One of the recommendations would either restrict or prohibit the use of popular additives, like licorice and chocolate, to blended tobacco products. These are typically used in the processing of Burley tobaccos and in several pipe tobaccos.

As I said, I don’t like cigarettes, but I also do not like to eat liver. Just because I don’t like liver doesn’t mean that someone that does should not be able to make their own choice to enjoy it or not. If you want to smoke cigarettes, then smoke away.

The problem is that since cigarette smokers have been so maligned, us folks that enjoy pipes and cigars often side with the "antis" against them. The reasoning is that we do not want to be grouped in with the people that have that "nasty habit". What we do not realize is that we are already being put into that group by the anti-tobacco people. Siding with the antis against cigarette smokers is not going to make them take you out of the overall evil tobacco-user group. Instead, you are helping them get rid of the cigarettes first, so then they can come after your luxury tobaccos next.

Last week, the FDA announced their new rules for warnings on cigarette packs. The warnings take up half the pack and show disgusting, absurdly exaggerated images. I am aghast at this proposal. How long do you think it will be before we have these warnings on luxury tobacco? Don’t think it can’t happen. In Europe they have had laws for many years where they have huge type taking up half a pipe tobacco tin exclaiming "SMOKING KILLS". (I smoke pipe tobacco every day and I feel great.)

What would happen if the FDA said that Lexapro, Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, and Cymbalta all needed warnings that take up 50% of the packaging? First of all, they would need to quadruple the size of the packaging just to fit all the potential side-effects. But no one is proposing that because people that use these substances to make their day a little better aren’t being treated like the dregs of society like cigarette smokers. And don’t tell me those drugs aren’t addictive either.

Pipe smokers (and cigar smokers) should be concerned about anti-smoking efforts, even when they appear to be only against cigarettes.

These efforts are really against all forms of tobacco and smoking.

They infringe on consumer’s rights to make their own choices, they restrict trade and free speech on the industry side, threaten jobs and economies, and the list goes on and on about how this is just plain wrong.

They are coming for your favorite tobacco next, and after all tobacco is wiped out, a new favorite indulgence will be the next target.

If you are a pipe or cigar smoker and you aren’t concerned about what is happening with anti-tobacco and anti-smoking efforts that seem to be only against cigarettes, then don’t come crying to me when they come after your tobacco of choice … and they are already on the way.

Publisher & Founder of PipesMagazine.com Certified Master Tobacconist (CMT) #1858 from TobacconistUniversity.org My grandfather didn't smoke a pipe, but my uncle and some of my elementary school teachers did. In 1998, my neighbor Sam invited me out, and we ended up back at his place where there was a cigar humidor, and pipe rack on the coffee table. I had my first cigar, and then decided to try pipes too. I love the elegance and relaxation of smoking a pipe. In 2002, I started learning how to make websites, do SEO, and create content. I had a cigar content site and forums from 2005-2008 when it was bought out. In 2009, I launched PipesMagazine.com, which is now the largest, busiest community forums, and article content site for pipe and tobacco enthusiasts. We have one of the longest running pipe and tobacco focused podcasts since 2012 with lifetime industry veteran, Brian Levine.

  • Great article Kevin.
    We have to stand together and fight these preposterous laws and stand by and up for people to be able to make their own choices. Even people who don’t smoke really need to start paying attention and stop this type of stuff from happening. Pretty soon the anti’s WILL be going after other things.
    They are already trying to ban salt in New York and ban Happy Meals in California. This stuff about the government and the anti’s trying to legislate personal behavior is way out of control. And I’m not just talking about the U.S.A., it is happening all over the world. Everyone in every country needs to start standing up against this nonsense.

  • It’s not about smoking or about health, it’s about destroying the tobacco market and controlling users. All tobacco is marked for the war and they’ve included electronic cigarettes, snus and other smokeless products as well.
    In North America elderly smokers are being evicted from their homes, that is the latest trend in the ‘war on big tobacco’. Nicotine is being demonised as a hazard to children.
    The FCTC intends to capture the whole non medical nicotine market and hand it to tobacco control. Anyone who has been following the lies and antics of those nutters will know that they have no moral code and will stop at nothing to achieve control. The only thing they haven’t been able to control is the black market.

  • If salt, Happy Meals™, and tobacco are outlawed, then I’ll need the Lexapro, Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, or Cymbalta.

  • Stock up while you can! Keep buying those tins even though you may not need them at the moment. Keep stockpiling! Stored properly, tobacco can last for years and years.
    Similarly, my dad and I started stockpiling ammunition. Every payday we go and get shells for our guns. We have hundreds of boxes. The anti-gun people, I think, will try and ban ammunition first. Without ammo a gun is no better then a baseball bat.
    Then they will come after our baseball bats!

  • Bannings and extreme laws and regulations have never solved anything.
    The solution is to allow each individual to decide for him or herself, treating citizens as persons and not as children or robots.
    Regulate public spaces to guarantee that there are both smoking and smoke free environments. So if I were to go to a restaurant, to say something, I could choose. That would be my choice, I don’t need someone else to make the decision for me.
    Also, force tobacco companies to list every ingredient and additive in the box; knowing what are the exact ingredients and chemicals in what we smoke would be much better than putting a big stupid warning saying “Smoking kills” or “Tobacco can create addiction”. I’m well aware of the risks, let me know what’s really inside the box or the tin and I’ll decide for myself, thank you.
    And the list could go on and on. The key is to give the individual freedom of choice, not to force people along a certain path, that’s more suited to a dictatorship than a democracy.
    I’m a smoker, but I dont’ like to eat in places where there’s cigarrette smoke, however I do undestand that some people likes to smoke while eating; so I would never ask to ban smoking everywhere, just make possible to create areas that can satisfy both groups.
    Also tobacco and tobacco smoking has a unique cultural and historical value that could be lost if this stupid crusade continues, not to mention the jobs that would be lost and the impact in a sector of the agriculture. Too bad that many people and leaders these days are too short-sighted to realize basic things.

  • Amen! It’s hard for us to defend cigarettes, but they are, in the final tally, TOBACCO, after all.
    An attack on one form of tobacco use should be considered an attack on ALL.

  • If a body likes cigs then let them enjoy thier cigs in peace. They might have to step outsice and be 25 feet away from the door the same as pipe and cigar smokers. Fine. The second hand smoke is disapearring into the open atmosphere and will harm no one around them. Leave us alone then! Funny. These same anti-tobacco freaks don’t mind smelling or inhaling smoke from a campfire or fireplace while they breathe.

  • With respect to second hand smoke, my pet peeve is the prohibition of smoking in outdoor stadiums. On Monday Night Football, 22 Nov 2010, the pre-game fireworks display created a fog of residual smoke so thick you could hardly see the players on the field.
    The producers obviously avoided using the sky-cam for most of the 1st quarter for that very reason. I doubt that tobacco smoke is as harmful as spent ammonium perchlorate; and people there are exposed to a far greater concentration of the latter. So let’s stop the hypocrisy.

  • As an example Fox Hunting with Horses was banned in the UK. The problem with that issue was that the the reasons used to continue was widely said to be ‘to control pests’. From that point onwards, Fox Hunting was a doomed Sport within the UK and as a consequence became banned.
    Had the Hunters been a little more savvy and given as their reason ‘because we enjoy it, it is our pastime’ then the whole question of a ban on the sport would have been a lot different.
    Bob is quite right when he says ‘I’m not just talking about the U.S.A’. We have far more draconian measures in Europe than you guys already have in the USA. Not only that but Europe leads the way in the fight against tobacco. Any future bans are likely to happen here first and the fact is that it only takes one country and the rest will fall into line just like the domino effect.
    It is a sad fact that any anti’s will not stop at the initial target they are pursuing. Once they have achieved that initial target, they will move on to the next. We are already seeing that in the UK where the Anti Hunt brigade have now turned their sights on fishing, the largest participation sport in the world. What makes you think the anti-smoking lobby are going to stop mearly at cigarettes. They will not be happy until the have outlawed the dreaded weed in its entirity. One can only wonder at what they will go after if they achieve their goal?
    In an effort to curb overeating and obeisity in the UK, ideas have been put forward such as refusing to treat people that are overweight or obese. These ideas are somewhat reminiscent of a certain Austrian Corporal, where by he went about cleansing Europe of those people that did not conform to his ideas of the ‘perfect race’ i.e. the insane, and those of certain religeous and political beliefs. You will also note that this Austrian Corporal was also a fervent anti-smoker, as were the majority of his closest supporters.
    Kevin makes a good point when he says that the anti-smokers will, and do not, distiguish between cigarettes or cigars and pipes. To them it is TOBACCO, no matter how it is wrapped up. However, I doubt the anti-smokers have quite realised what will occur if they achieve their goal, they have not read their history or if they have, thay have learnt nothing from it. The ‘Noble Experiment’ of 1919 – 1933 is a classic example of what will happen. It seems that people have forgotten what the effects were of that debacle, although to be honest I think there are far more politicians in the US that fear a similar situation should that Noble Experiment be reanimated to curb the use of tobacco as opposed to alcohol.
    One should not forget that smoking is a personal choice, and as a choice it is therefore a freedom. In the Western world we sometimes forget that those freedoms need to be fought for every now and again. Once won, we cannot sit back and expect them to continue as they are without someone trying to take them away. A stand must be taken against those that would take that freedom away, just as if you were trying to win that freedom in the first place.

  • Future headline: TOBACCO OPPONENTS HOISTED WITH OWN PETARD
    .
    .
    Bringing the argument to the philosophical level is probably not the best approach. Theoreticals are rarely digested as easily as emotional appeals. But I have to make the effort because tobacco opponents, or those who are at most indifferent to it, may not realize exactly what is at stake.
    .
    The greater issue is freedom and whether anyone has the right to tell others what to do — at the personal level. What I see developing in our society is a tyranny of the majority. Tobacco opponents may revel in their successes now; but in life
    after tobacco, the anti’s may be surprised and dismayed to discover that the precedents they established may be used against them by some majority interest with different lifestyle persuasions.
    .
    Improbable? As an example that I’ve used elsewhere, suppose an anti-tobacco advocate was raised as a meat eater, and enjoys it. Now, during his lifetime vegan-vegetarians become the majority of the population. In an era of sweeping political
    correctness they summon an abundance of evidence, better than anything ever leveled against tobacco, to argue that slaughtering animals and eating their flesh constitutes unconscionable cruelty; it is unquestionably less healthy than the vegan diet; and even that meat eaters have an objectionable body odor. No doubt vegans have many more talking points, and more cogent ones, than I’m even aware of.
    .
    So, on the strength of their hypothetical majority vote, they impose punitive taxes on meat; they legislate disincentives for meat producers; they prohibit transporting meat into various of their states; they ban public consumption of meat; and do whatever else they can, BECAUSE they can, to cast meat eaters as pariahs, and vilify anyone associated with the meat industry. How will those anti-tobacco advocates react as they slip down the slope they’ve helped to create?
    .
    Yes, some people consider tobacco use a high risk / low reward activity, like surfing in the ocean with sharks, or hot air ballooning. But no one has the right to make personal lifestyle choices for others, or to use their political strength to coerce others into conformity with their personal beliefs. If tobacco opponents can’t see that, then they have more to worry about than second hand smoke. As “excav8tor” (above) alludes, soon we’ll all be saying, “Sieg Heil!”

  • Welcome to The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 633. Our featured guest tonight is Jon David Cole. JD is the Owner/Tobacconist at The Country Squire in Jackson, MS, and the accompanying online store. We’ll have JD and Brian talking about what’s new at the store and in the business in general. At the top of the show, Brian will discuss tobacco growing, what happens to the leaf, and provide updated information on where tobacco is being gown today. Tobacco production originated in the United States and we were once the #1 producer. It’s quite different now.

  • Well there’s nothing like a touch of the plague to usher in the changing season. Leaving the airport just when the first advertisements for all things pumpkin spice began to appear—lattes, muffins, shampoos, trash bags, and myriad other concoctions—so, too, my ability to breathe freely disappeared. The unfortunate side effect of losing one’s sense of taste and smell for weeks is the utter inability to enjoy tobacco. Not that I consider myself an expert on anything but my own tastes, but be forewarned that this review was made with mildly impugned sensory equipment. Just when a comforting pipe was most needed, its comfort was denied. Be that as it may, the road to recovery found me limping along on one lung this past month, trying to wrest the particulars of two blends on offer from Sutliff: the latest 175th Anniversary blend, Silver Quarter, as well as their spooky seasonal Maple Shadows II. Silver Quarter is a new style on offer from Sutliff, their first coin-cut blend. Naturally a Virginia-Perique, it is enhanced with a traditional core of black Cavendish. In the tin it holds much promise, with a lightly bready and very woody, if ever-so-slightly sour, aroma. After some time acclimating to air, the bouquet softens further and offers hints of the burley with some chocolaty notes wafting through the more dominant dry grassy aspect. The tin art is of a coin-style bas-relief bust, presumably of a founding Sutliff brother, à la The Old Boss On the reverse of the tin we find the blend’s description: Reflecting on Sutliffs 175 years of tobacco excellence, we came across a brand that embodies true value, SILVER QUARTER. This name pays homage to Sutliffs roots, the legacy of two brothers who popularized pipe smoking in the burgeoning mining society of San Francisco. We celebrate this heritage with a coin cut composed of the finest African Virginias, complemented by a core of Perique and Black Cavendish.    The tin notes are, forgive the pun, on the nose for a good VaPer blend: mild tart sweetness peeking out from behind dried hay and slight chocolate undertones, with a lightly tannic finish of weathered oak. It is always a joy to prepare a coin cut, my preference being to put a few in my palm and vigorously warm my hands together to fully break them apart. These well-formed discs pack and light easily, and smoke with little prodding to the end of the bowl. For technical points it scores well—it smokes light, and it’s easy to tend the ember. While it gets sharp after a few quick bowls, pacing should be heeded to easily smoke down to the heel without inviting bite. Of the flavor, though, I am left a bit wanting. There are tart and high notes aplenty, but very little of the lemony citrus I would anticipate, as well as scant midtones; they tend more toward the red wine-vinegary and sour. The flavors are muted, also, lacking the sweetness and piquancy of other marques—the small measure of Perique tickles the nose now and again with peppery hints, and there is a smidge of a deeper sweetness to be found in the Cavendish from puff to puff, but overall it lacks some dynamism. The Virginias, to my palate, come off a bit on the dry side, and here they dominate the blend. The aftertaste and mouthfeel are neutral, again evincing more of the dry, woody, tartly tannic end of the spectrum. The blend has plenty of polish, but not enough depth or richness (*yet) to make it a standout. Here, comparisons are inevitable: Luxury Bullseye Flake has more sweetness, both from its Virginia as well as its Cavendish, and a better finish; Davidoff is similar but with a pronounced umami that is absent here; as for Escudo, I haven’t had any fresh tins lately so it would be unfair to compare. While it rates as a solid, fairly mild smoke, particularly to lovers of the genre, it does not surprise with any exceptional flavors. To be fair, all the boxes have been checked for the blend to benefit from some real aging, and it would be worth checking in on this after a couple of years sealed away. I’ve set half my tin aside to sample again in a month or two, in case I’m merely suffering from the lingering effects of parosmia, and will amend this review in that case. Maple Shadows II, on the other hand, made up for the weeks of sniffling and sneezing I’d endured. Offered in a full 8 ounce tin with delightfully spooky Halloween art, it’s (hopefully) enough to last through the season. Somehow I had missed this last year, so it’s a real pleasure to get some in my candy bucket this year. As the chilling winds of autumn draw eerie prattle from contorted, deciduous limbs, we find ourselves possessed by the spirit of the season. Bewitched by a dissonant charm, we’ve created Maple Shadows. In a season that is defined by the unlikely harmony of treats and frights, we’ve joined the enchanting sweetness of maple with the earthy spice of Dark Fired Kentucky for a smoking experience that captures the senses with an otherworldly fusion of flavor. This may be the best aromatic blend Sutliff’s ever made—and they make a ton of them. First off, it’s not overbearing in the least—quite the opposite, it is also one of the more restrained aromatics they’ve ever made, with a clear but very light topping that melds oh-so-well with their choice Kentucky added to the mix. Opening the tin, the sweet maple is up front and center, but so too is the must of fallen leaves, bready pie crusts, and a crackling fire in the hearth—a perfect invocation of Herbstdüfte in a can. Packing best in an open and capacious bowl, the flavoring is subtle, and recedes to the background while puffing. With a sweet coffee or tea to accompany, the aftertaste of the maple is reinvigorated on the palate […]

  • Welcome to The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 632. Our featured guest on tonight’s show is the host of the Pipe & Tamper Podcast, Mike Murphy. Brian and Mike will have an extended chat revolving around the days before, during and after the Las Vegas International Pipe Show. We will hear about their travels to the show and the anxiety of Hurricane Milton bearing down on Florida at the same time while running a show and not knowing if your house is going to be there when you get home. In the end, the show went great and our homes survived, although many others in Florida were not so lucky. We’ll have clips from the show, and shoutouts to other podcasts and vlogs that were broadcasting from the pipe show.

  • Vegas Baby The show started out strong on the 14th floor hospitality suites hosted by the Vegas Pipe Show and Smoking Pipes as well as room hopping to carvers, estate sellers, and vendors to pre-game for the festivities.  If you’re interested in what that looks like I’ll refer you to last years pipe show round up.  I circled with Brian Levine to get the totals in comparison to last year:  This year’s show numbers: 108 Exhibitor tables, 445 attendees, 3,250 Raffle Tickets, 100ish dinners, 172 Rooms in the Hotel. Last year, by comparison, 107 exhibitor tables, 425 attendees, 2,200 raffle tickets, 104 dinners, and 175 rooms on Friday and Saturday nights.   We were at capacity, basically, when it came to vendor tables and the dinner, so there is no physical room for growth at this point except for attendees. That said, we filled that smoking lounge to the brim.    New Carvers Spotlight Garret Woo (Pipes by Woo)   How long have you been carving?  Garret: I’ve been carving since 2021, and I’m guessing your next question is probably how’d you get started carving? James: Yes.  Garret: In 2021 I took a break from my full time job – that included machining and assembly work and I thought maybe it was time I made something that I would like and I started looking at youtube and Instagram and putting together my shop.  I did struggle on the stems to start and there was a lot of failure at the beginning.  James: How many pipes have you made so far? Garret: I number my pipes, so I just finished up 186.   James: What is your favorite shape you’ve been making?  Garret: I really dig Canadians and pipes with longer shanks and lovat Canadian blends.  I like to play with different shapes of stems on the longer shanked pipes.  The billiard would be my go-to shape but I want to learn more techniques on freehanded shapes.  I like to put brass and copper adornments on my pipes with my machining background it helps.  James: What is the craziest thing you’ve seen at this show? Garret: The first thing that comes to mind is the table over there with C-Pipes with the shapes and the size and petiteness and the intricate details they did.  You can check out what Garret is working on by going to his Instagram.  Stefan Cashwell James: how long have you been carving? Stefan: about 3 years. James: What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen at the show? Stefan: The Adam Davidson pipe with the clear shape and the bamboo—I don’t know if it’s 3D printed or what, but it’s amazing.  James: What’s your favorite shape to do? Stefan: That’s a tough question. I think they’re all the same shape, but what’s fascinating is that Dublin, volcano, and blowfish are all the same depending on how you turn them. Playing with that, with all its variations, is a lot of fun.  My favorite accent to use is also horn; it’s finicky, but it’s a great accent on pipes.  You can check out Stefan’s work on his Instagram.    Science: Meet Pipes I chatted with Chris from the San Diego Pipe Club; he started off doing stem replacements for estate pipes but also improved the airflow.   James: How are you doing 3d printing? What is the thought process? Chris: It’s a 3D-printed pipe with a briar insert. The design is a calabash meets a Peterson system meets a metal Falcon/Kirsten radiator style.  It is a bottom draft smoking bowl like a radiator like those metal pipes.  The inside chamber is a calabash. The stummel and accent rings in the stems are all 3d printed. The insert is briar, olive wood, or I have the potential to use meerschaum as well.   This idea came about through the San Diego Pipe Club, wanting to see if we could 3D print a pipe and being curious about the technology; I have a printer and design ability, so here we are.  James: What’s the type of plastic you’re using? Chris: It’s all PLA plastic, a renewable potato starch plastic that is food-safe.  The stummels are printed with a plastic that has wood in it 40% wood fiber, bamboo, rosewood, ebony, redwood, and walnut are the woods I’m printing.  For the accent rings I just got a new material that I’m printing that has 40% copper,  so its real metal that you can sand, and polish the same as wood filament.  The stems are 3d printed as well. The concept is renewable and cheap from a production standpoint, with the ability to make a very high quality smoking pipe based on the experience. By combining the calabash system pipe and bottom draft hole and using 3d simulations to see airflow, I can see where I’m having eddies and ripples in my current, and see where my moisture and all the particles are dropping back out from a vapor to a liquid.  Most people who have tried these say the stems are clean, and they don’t even have to run a pipe cleaner afterward because everything collects at the bottom.  Chris has also been experimenting with color-changing plastics so you can see the hotspots.  Chris said he was able to use this to slow down his cadence, which, of course, could mean you could get a slow-smoke training pipe to teach yourself to perform better.  If you’re interested in learning more or want to check one out, you can contact him on Instagram: Copper Beard Pipe Works The Negative Space The show was buzzing about one specific pipe, which had everyone guessing how it was made. I chatted with Adam Davidson briefly about it.  James: How did this idea come to fruition? Adam Davidson: Smokingpipes.com had an expo back in August open to all of the makers they carry. The theme was to make a pipe utilizing bamboo. Given that the last time we had the expo I made a smooth Almond with three bamboo shanks, […]
