    Your Opinion on Bruno Nuttens' Bings?

    After reading about and seeing Greg Pease’s Nuttens bings I have been on the search for one that suits me. Side note if anyone is worried about buying directly from Bruno and his website, I purchased a tamper from him and it was at my door within a week and well over protected for a tamper.

    What is your Trigger

    Of course it’s always the sweet call of nicotine, but truly, it’s just the call to enjoy partaking in the ritual. It’s like a smith that wakes up yearning to swing his hammer. The occasional pipe sighting in a great Cold War film doesn’t hurt either 😂

    Why Did I Start Smoking a Pipe?

    My answer is simple. I am a nicotine hound. I also love history, collecting, researching, acquiring. Pipe smoking is the only vice that includes everything I love all wrapped up in a lifestyle/journey.

    Aftertaste

    Never had much of strong after taste. Being a cigar smoker that after taste can linger for hours if not 24 even with brushing. I can smoke a pipe and within an hour have zero lingering tastes.

    Blends To Start Your Friends On

    I am a Va/Vapr smoker but usually reach for an English for someone’s first smoke. Especially if they have some experience with cigars. Strong flavors, rich and medium bodied smoke usually hooks them.

    Retrohaling

    Couldn’t agree more Warren. French inhale, or otherwise I can’t get through a bowl without the satisfying burn. Well, I could but I don’t want to.
