Pipe tobacco cigarettes - cool idea or just goofy?

[lazydog]

I just got an order among it was a lb of Oriental Pipe cut (Newminster?) and I mention this blend, because this looks like a cut that could easily be rolled into a nice nail. Nice thin strands. I'll be a keepin it in a pipe though.

I'm not aware of this stima against female pipe smokers either. I think there is just a general one against all pipe smokers. Just try as a man or woman to go out in public with one, people will stare at you like you have two heads and others will ask you for some pot, or even take your pipe away for analysis (police).

she'd never smoke a pipe because of the stigma of women smoking a pipe.

I didn't think we had enough women yet to make a stigma. When I think of women pipe smokers I think of Andie Macdowell:

While up in Portland, Maine on my honeymoon, I was smoking some cigar, a Cusano churchill i think, and some girl walked past me and asked, "You smokin' a BLUNT???" I kind of laughed and said no.... it's almost sad that you can't have a pipe or cigar in public without stupid comments like that.
And by the way, do you know anyone who smokes a 7" blunt?

1Q would probably be good to roll into a cigarette, its cut is basically the same as RYO tobacco

I've done it a time or two. I used to smoke nails until a couple years ago. Rolled up some of the stuff from the leftovers jar ..... bitey aromatics, English blend dust and some Perique. It was quite dry on the crumbly side. Not a bad experience BUT I could taste the paper which made me gag.

I went through a pouch of Half & Half like this, and a few rolled smokes of Peter Stokkebye Nougat, and PS Natural. Was it great? Not in my opinion, but it wasn't horrible either. It was a cigarette.

Aren't black & milds and like products basically pipe tobacco cigarettes? With probably lower quality tobacco

Basically, tobacco is tobacco. The form you buy it in has been tailored to a certain end: pipe, RYO, cigarette, cigar, chew. The end determines the cut, the additives and in most cases, the choice of leaf. Not necessarily in quality, but for instance in cigarette tobacco price is very important, as are availability, suitability to industrial manufacture, etcetera. Within every variety you'll find lower and higher end brands with more, less or even no additives and whether you prefer to smoke it, eat it or whatever is entirely up to you. I've never been brave enough to try, but my grandfather treated himself to a crushed cigar in his pipe on a Sunday. The opposite of pipe tobacco as a cigarette, so smoking RYO in a pipe, is something I've seen done and have tried, too. I wouldn't recommend abandoning your favorite blends in favour of Drum or Samson just yet.
