Finished my first tin

Today, I finished my first tin!

Based off my first post on a pipe forum, I have been smoking for 10 years, today. That post was asking how avoid inhaling. I knew inhale and exhale, but how do you get the smoke in your mouth without inhaling. Someone quickly told me what “inhale” means in the pipe smoking community.

As I stated, I believe that this is first tin I have finished. The blend was Haddo’s Delight. This is a very good VAPER! But, at this point, I have 60 jars of tobacco and 17 unopened tins. Ignoring the massive consumption during a pipe show, my consumption is once a day to once a week. There is a 98% chance that my calculation about this tin being the first that I have finished is incorrect.

Happy tenth anniversary! I like your moderate pace with the pipes. I'm at about one bowl a day, sometimes none, sometimes two or three. I've been at it since about 1978 or so, with a long stretch without the pipes, in solidarity with my late wife who quit a heavy cigarette habit. Haddo's Delight was a pleasant way to start. I think my first baggie from Tinder Box was an aromatic they called North Star, probably a Lanes or Sutliff aromatic.

Well, congrats on having been here for 10 years. You know it seems like I have been here 10 years, also.

Couldn't begin to tell what my first blend was but can guarantee you it wasn't as good as Haddo's Delight/

when I started I'd finish the one tin or bag I had before getting another one. More of a what am I smoking this week then what am I smoking today. And pretty much from the begining it was one or two pipes with a lot of other tobacco thrown in. Pipes have always been my favorite but not the most convenient way to go.

Congrats. My first tobacco was a bulk blend from my local tobacconist called London Bridge, it was similar to Father Dempsey, a good medium English. Back then I would smoke one tin at a time, now with jars and cellaring, I’m all over the place, lol. Only thing I stick to is Smoking certain blends for all 4 seasons. Burly right now for fall and English for Christmas and Winter.

Congrats on 10 years. I won't see ten till May. With the amount you smoke it sounds like you should have plenty of tobacco to see you to the end.

If that's the case, you've taken slow smoking to Guinness Book Level.
