Double Fisting

[anotherbob]

closest I've come to that is after finishing a bowl sometimes I'll get out another pipe and smoke a nother blend. Not common but it happens.

 

[DarkButterfly]

I've chain-smoked a couple of bowls but always been the same blend.

Also had to comment on a double fisting thread

My eyes sparkled with anticipation only for me to be marginally disappointed when seeing the contents of this thread.

On topic: I don't like mixing up the flavors so soon one after another. If I do smoke more bowls on any given day (a rare thing in itself), I space it out.

When I started out though, I averaged around 50 bowls a month though. I mixed up everything with anything. Your format seems smarter in retaining some actual insight from the smoking. I just wanted to try everything out ?

Almost every time I smoke. Although I usually burn down one, then the other and don’t alternate. And aros only make it in the mix every so often, maybe 1/5 smokes.

I hear you. I’m chomping at the bit to try all the new stuff I’ve acquired in such a short time!

I feel like I wouldn’t be able to smoke two pipes alternating without the flavors becoming one amorphous sameness. Also, my favorite plumbing supplier is Pfister.

Any particular purpose, as far as what you choose to pair, if not alternating aros in?

My evening smoke is always 2 pipes. Sometimes packed with different blends, sometimes with the same.

I do something similar where I'll have three or four different pipes going with different blends. Typically a Balkan, a straight VA, a burley, and sometimes a perique. It's just something that developed overtime as a method to prevent palatte fatigue. Although I don't alternate puffs between pipes, I change pipes whenever my mouth feels the need for a contrast. It defines the flavors between blends very clearly and makes it easier to continue smoking through an entire day/evening without my tongue losing sensitivity. It also means there are a lot of half finished pipes laying on my desk and sometimes I forget what they're packed with. It becomes a game of "guess the mystery smoke"

I have toyed with smoking two pipes simultaneously just to see what happens, but found it too hard to draw consistently from both pipes at once.

I thought this thread was going to have a different theme

Of at least a different ending!

 

[oldred]

I did something similar when I first started (a couple of months ago) but I smoked two half bowls back to back of a similar blend. I was trying to smoke similar blends and components to try and find the difference. Looking back I think it would have been easier to just smoke the components straight.

Not really, just have a ton of new to me blends around, and I only get a chance to smoke about once a week so I usually do two or three blends each time to get through stuff faster, in case I need to find more of it before the tobaccopocalypse.

This is what you need, You can dial back and forth between 2 bowls or smoke both simultaneously

This pig snout thing is brilliant! On one hand it looks like a gimmick, and would have some concern about how hot it would get, but on the other it looks like a smart design! Can't call it a solution because I don't see that it solves any existing problem, but still brilliant.

There are more of us than I thought. Glad there are others that find this method enjoyable.

You’ve got some next level stuff going on. Expanding my thinking , logs.

I ordered surf and turf onky once in my life. Didn’t enjoy it at all.

 

[timpiper]

I also only smoke once a week. Have 3 or 4 pipes going maybe 1/3 full. Could be an OTC, an aro, a vaper and a latakia/oriental. I switch between the pipes and often settle on the one thats hitting the spot more than the others. Its a 1 to 2 hour smoking session in the shed. It developed like this because I only smoking once a week and have so many opened tins and couldn't decide what to smoke, so chose 3 or 4 different blends and yes I like almost everything except lakeland blends -TimPiper

We had a member, Hawky (I believe) that used to advocate for smoking two pipes to get the subtly differences between blends or between how blend tastes in different pipes. I've done it with aged and fresh of the same blend, many a time.

Wow! Click bait title!

He's posted in the last week, so I thing we still "have" him.
