    Cognac?

    If you don't mind the flavor then sure. Vodka or grain alcohol are ideal since they don't impart flavor.

    Kaywoodie Mini Drinkless - Any Insights?

    There's no such thing as "too small"! Japanese Kiseru pipes probably only hold a half pinch of tobacco lol.

    Sniffing Tobacco?

    The idea of snuff has always been intriguing to me, but I've got too many allergy/sinus issues to be putting stuff up there. How do you not sneeze from doing it?

    PayPal Finally Got Me, This May Be the End

    The earlier suggestions that you rebrand your business as for marijuana probably have some merit. Tobacco has been demonized to the point where we are today, but for whatever reason marijuana is seen as the savior of humanity.

    Types of Tobacco

    It doesn't hurt when you inhale? My understanding has always been that cigarette tobacco is modified to be inhalable, while pipe tobacco is not.

    Worst Smoking Experience to Date

    Gotta get it dry as a bone (but not disintegrating on its own) to be a good smoke! Wow didn't mean to rhyme but managed to!

    Cigar Beetles?

    Have any of you regular cigar smokers had to deal with these? I've been a cyclical cigar smoker for probably 12+ years now and can't ever recall seeing one of my sticks ruined by bug holes. I've bought from all over, stored the cigars in cedar humidors, tupperdors, plastic bags, various temp...

    Plants Used To Be Built In USA

    Yes this. It's always interesting talking to foreigners about the cost of everyday items, as import duties in other countries are often very severe. Some examples I can remember: In South America, video game consoles (Playstation, XBox) are around $200-$300 higher than we pay in the US. In...

    Famous Living Pipe Smokers

    Oral Healthcare and Tasting Your Tobacco

    Makes me wonder if the "oil pulling method".. which I think is an ayurvedic thing.. might have some merit for pipe smokers. Not sure how well it would work BEFORE a smoke, but doing it AFTER a smoke might dissolve any tar deposits in the mouth that really have no benefit. (For those unaware...

    Recommendations of Tobacco Blends for a New Pipe Smoker

    AVOID the ones that are cigar brands.. Cohiba, CAO, etc.. that come in 50g tins. I'm not sure what these were meant to be, but they were excessively bland and not worth the money spent.

    Brands to Avoid?

    Earlier this year (pre rona) I was in Jamaica and picked up some real cuban Cohibas for $18USD ea (had a resort credit to spend.. wouldn't have bought with my own money). Did they smoke well? Yes Were they any different than most other cigars? Nope Since then I've pretty much been going with...

    Brands to Avoid?

    Gurkha... ugh too many bad memories of their sticks. I should have known there was something wrong when it seemed like Thompson Cigars was practically giving away bundles of them lol. Plus they go way over the top with branding and designs... sort of a red flag.

    Brands to Avoid?

    +1 on this A while back I did some research and made a list of all the cigar brands that are still family/independently owned. Here's the list, although this could be outdated by now: la flor dominicana oliva padron perdomo davidoff aj fernandez arturo fuente rocky patel

    Does Nicotine Have A Flavor?

    I'm seeing enough response about pepper so that's a relief. And I guess that makes sense because tobacco is in the nightshade family.

    Does Nicotine Have A Flavor?

    I know what you may be thinking.. no dummy it doesn't. But the few times I've tried alternative forms of tobacco like snus or nicorette gum, it has given off a very recognizable spicy note. It could also be described as tingly depending on how you think about flavors. However, in smoked forms...

    Chronicling an AliExpress Pipe and Purchase for Science

    Do they smell like rubber tires from Harbor Freight? That weird chinese rubber funk never goes away. I have a rubber sanding block that was made in PRC and after 10+ years of ownership it still offgasses.
