In Defense of Pipe Smoking and Tobacco Smoking In General

[warren]

Of course the pipe smokers who build a room and mechanically vent the smoke outside aren't helping the situation. Gotta love the smokers who don't want the reek. Only a wee bit tongue in cheek, that observation.

Winston Churchill (a cigar smoker), one puff at a time formulated his defense of England, then one puff at a time formulated his attack against Hitler.

Once again, as with Churchill and Patton, one puff at a time we will overcome the tyranny that has arisen.


One puff at a time we shall prevail.

A video on just one of Sir Winston Churchill's noble deeds in defense of England and his attack against Hitler, whilst he puffed his cigar.

No need to defend it; it keeps you and anyone in history coming back- it's good like sex, beer, coffee and everything else that is pleasureable about life. I don' think anyone every criticized my fine tobacco smoking except for some miserable gay guy who lived in my building who I later caught smoking a filthy cigarette.

smoking a filthy cigarette.

And what's wrong with cigarettes? The world at large hates all tobacco use.

Well homogenized tobacco and spraying nicotine/saltpeter flavor blends on the bitter fire safe paper rolled primarily cardboard smokeable which cost the smoker $13 and their health. No problem with RYO

and their health.

As does any tobacco use.

duh; c'mon buddy ; for my knowledge do you smoke big box cigs? you do know they are primarily made of paper? Big tobacco doesn't care about cutting corners as they assume the people are harming themselves regardless and in some tests paper accounts for less tar than burning tobacco; so they save money on a commodity crop as well as get a better score on tar studies.

Wow! So many unsupported generalities. Boggles the mind. Have you ever smoked a premium cigarette?

Don't fool yourself. Enjoy what you like, but dont fool yourself dude. Pipe tobacco aint no superfood. If one is bad the other has to be atleast a little bad too.

Yea tobacco smoke is so bad i had to stop smoking... now I just bathe my whole inner face and throat with tobacco smoke. You have to wonder if this logic works.

Why Are so Many Young People Unhappy?

Why are young people so unhappy and so anxious about their future? Healthcare professionals and social scientists round up the usual suspects: drug addiction, social media, cyberbullying, fear of impending demise of the planet. See anything important missing from that list? Dennis Prager does...

The way I understood his post was more a denunciation of hypocrisy than a condemnation of cigs. But maybe Wintergarden hates both! ?

I've no problem with cigs as long as the smoke doesn't get into my suite.

You’ve got to mimeograph that and glue it up on telephone poles! Just like the old days.

Casual, I wish I had a mimeograph with me.. but don't worry.. I ll keep this amazing recommendation of yours in mind.. but what Edwin quoted was outstanding.. !

Not unsupported; look into it. The cigarette wrapper is paper hence big tobacco doesn't mind introducing more into it. didn't say Premium; I've had Nat Shermans prior to the buyout and other things like Davidoff ....

 

[Sloopjohnbee]

Wow man. This comment tells me more about you than it does India.

Laugh, that's kind of racist. Secondly you need an IQ of 100+ in order to operate a computer

I smoke a lot of cigarettes, some ryo and some factory made. The roll your own stuff DOES hurt my lungs more than the factory made ciagarettes, I can tell the difference. Also, most of the ryo's have a much smaller amount of nicotine. This almost surely makes you smoke more of them.

I use that shit because I can't see crippling my family's financial future over such a silly habit. I like to smoke so I roll my own. It is nasty stuff though, filled with other leaves, some moldly looking. Look at what youre doing, realize how unhealthy YOU think SMOKING is. Do not smoke if it makes you feel bad.. or scares you.

If youre looking for a HEALTHY way to smoke, give up now. Thats like trying to find a diet where you can "eat whatever you want" and still lose weight. If you look hard enough you might think you found it, only to later die of 18 cancers from those magic pills.

Very poingnant response. I don't smoke cigarettes and never smoked more than 3 a day when I did for a year or so. Those Winstons and Camels were a weakness but that FSC paper tasted disgusting. I also used to tear off the filters.

Meanwhile here in EU, premium RYO tobacco blends(especially those made in the Netherlands) are generally of better quality than any factory-made cigarettes, except for very few British and Greece brand names which are hard to come by

Im sure there are better options online. All the stuff here at tobacco shops really appears to be the same stuff. Hit or miss, and it really never taste the same. Each bag is different. I'm refering to the ryo stuff that is labled pipe tobacco. I sure as hell wont ever put any in a pipe again, did that once and maan, what an awful taste. Every once in a while you hit a spot in your cigarette that taste like a burnt wet dog. Haha
