Completely Original Packing Method

[maineyachtie]

I'm posting this mostly to help the "noobs," but some of you seasoned smokers might want to give it a try too *wink*
This is my own 3 step method:
First chop the strands/ribbons of tobacco with scissors until it is a uniform size. It should look something like ground pepper. Then use a funnel to pour the tobacco powder into your pipe. Do not tamp! Lastly while holding a lit match above the tobacco breathe in through the pipe with a sudden forceful inhalation. Your pipe is now lit and you should be experiencing a lovely tobacco sensation in your lungs.
Enjoy!

Interesting but I don't intentionally inhale from the pipe.

Tobacco the size of pepper you say?
Sounds like you're smoking dust or crumbs lol.
Doesn't smoke hot for you?

I usually discard the dust from my jars. Not for me but thanks for the info mate.

I have to agree with the other fellows, that is an odd way to smoke tobacco in a traditional pipe. Not sure many people on this forum would take to this, being that traditionally pipe smokers don't normally inhale. But hey, if the OP likes it, go for it.

Okay, I've gotta put the brakes on this thread. I don't actually practice this method. I was trying to subtly initiate a hazing tradition for newbie pipesters. Think about what I said carefully... place tobacco dust in bowl...suck it down into your lungs hard...enjoy "lovely" tobacco sensation in lungs!
Of course no one is stupid enough to actually do that, so it was really just a big joke. BOMB-O!
Anyway. egh

I wish there was a font specifically for sarcasm

 

[maineyachtie]

Logandow: I know, right?

Well, for the generation that grew up with computers, after a sarcastic remark has been made usually there will be an "lol", laughing emotecon, or something to the effect that denotes laughter at one's self.
A simple " :rofl: " after the statement would have tipped us off.
I just thought you were a crazy person.
Still do.
:rofl:

Sarcasm has taken place​

 

[nsfisher]

LOL, sorry mate, I thought you were being serious. Gotcha now though

 

[jaysin]

lol I got it as ive had that happen with fine cut stuff

 

[smeaton]

I wish I would've read the comments BEFORE trying it! :nana:

 

[spyder71]

That was kinda funny! Took me minute to ask myself if this dude was crackers. Thanks for the chuckle

I actually save my dust and use it as kindling on top of the bowl sometimes.

I do the same thing.

Very uncool in my opinion, since a new smoker wouldn't know it was supposed to be a joke.

For a forum that doesn't want to be associated with the 'other' pipe smoking, there are a lot of references to it.

I agree with Tilt and Bad Kitty. This thread, and this forum, are teetering out of control. We need to implement a series of screening mechanisms to ensure that any jokes, ballyhoo, hubbub, or shenanigans are kept under strict control, or else we'll have people going around doing things that will harm their well-being. This outrageous proposal by Mainey presents us with a unique opportunity to implement this program, that way everyone will be much safer and more secure. It is being done for our own good.
First, any posts must be sent to Kevin in advance. He will devise a strict internal screening mechanism which will screen the posts for things such as humor, fun, or silliness. Then, he will reject posts based on a list of criteria he devises, in order to keep things at an even keel. Then, after an initial trial period, we will see if order has been restored, and perhaps Kevin will allow the occasional joke or tongue-in-cheek reference in. Think of it as a way of putting us in "time out". I am willing to submit myself to this punishment because it is for the good of everyone.
By the way, Mainey sure had me fooled. The first thing I did when I opened this thread was to read the very first post, grab my billiard and fill it exactly as described, and light it, without looking at any other posts in the thread, because this is what normally happens when people open threads on the internet that suggest things. I was nearly killed. My life was in the balance, and my wife found me unconscious on the floor, writhing in agony.
This madness must stop. I vote for the imposition of martial law.
