Bad Influence

[baronsamedi]

I got my little brother smoking cigarettes back when we were, I'll just say Younger. Over the years I was able to kick the habit and he never was and I always felt guilty about that. Awhile back, I posted an avatar of me with my pipe in my mouth and sure enough comes my little brother, who is now an adult but still my little brother with the pipe questions.
Needless to say, He's got a corncob now and is on the way to getting his first briar soon. I'm pretty sure he's going to abandon the cigs for becoming a pipe smoker. I don't feel like quite the bad influence now.
The next way I'm going to corrupt him is introduce him to this forum. Then he'll be too broke buying pipe stuff to afford cigarettes.

It sounds like you're a role model now. Better act the way you'd want him to.

 

[pstlpkr]

Sounds like a plan to me.

Well said.

Good luck with your endeavor...

Don't forget the encouragement that it will take to keep him focused.

:clap:

I think your influence is now a great one

 

[unclearthur]

Excellent idea. We will soon have him infected with both TAD and PAD!

wow pertinent thread I woke up in a shit of a mood and was hankering for a cigg. I haven't had one for a couple of weeks now and was amazed that the urge crawled in. Needless to say I had a bowl and feel a better for it. i have even noticed the urge to inhale the pipe smoke lessening i still do it but not as often and find myself enjoying the full smoke in my mouth and floating gently around my head in that lovely halo of glory...

Hey, baron, its what big brothers do. Get him on this site and he'll have hundreds of big brothers. It'll take some of the pressure off of you.

Pipes got me off cigs many moons ago. Good move.

I introduced my brother to pipes not long ago myself. Have yet to introduce him to the forum.
It's a great thing when we can make a better influence with family, especially with siblings, lol.

Leading him to become a fellow pipester more than makes up for the cigs...congratulations, and welcome to your bro! :clap:

My brother and his Corncob pipe. He's looking for a briar now

[baronsamedi]

Like me, he used Videos posted on this site to learn how to pack his pipe.

Way to go.

Next you'll need to write a tutorial on how to warp influence family members. :D

 

[baronsamedi]

Man, I could write a book. He's pretty much responsible for his own warpage these days, though. Not sure if he's totally kicked the nails yet.
