I just picked up my pipe again and put down the cigarettes, been lurking for a few weeks now, enjoying discussions.
Back when I first started smoking pipes, I bought a $5 cob and a huge bag of gambler with the idea that I was going to quit smoking cigarettes. I always ended up with a burning, leather tounge and no taste buds. no matter what I did I couldn’t get rid of it.
anyway my buddy from Idaho came down and brought some erinmore flake. That smoking experience opened my eyes to the fact that there is a lot of different tobacco choices other than what the gas station sells.
Since then I’ve been buying small amounts of bulk tobaccos as well as some tinned blends. Also, learning how to actually smoke my pipes in stead of trying to wolf down a bowl like i would a cigarette, and just enjoy the smoke and relax.
The conversations I have read have helped me a lot, so thanks!
And hello from Montana!!!
