Rolling Pipe Tobacco w/ papers??

[smokeybear]

JUST buy one of these and save on papers, i tried rolling pipe tobacco once it was boswells chocolate cream and in paper it taste like candle wax lol ill just stick to my pipes but if you must try it there's the solution.
try and find yourself a smaller pipe i dont mean those metal ones i mean an actual briar pipe but small and you might change your mind on pipes.

fernage, I once happened upon a RYO forum where it seemed many members smoked mixtures containing pipe tobacco. I can't remember the name, but I came across it while googling something pipe tobacco related. If you google it down, you can probably find it.

There's also the Briar Cigar[/url]http://www.morganpipes.com/the-briar-cigar.html#.UtQvCH-9KSM
Expensive, but pretty neat. Have this on my shopping list for 2014, though interested if anyone on the forum has tried one out.

PA and CH works just great as it is for hand rolling mate. You will love CH this way

RYO places, combined all sorts of stuff into their cigarettes. I saw one guy just dumping the large cans of PA into the machine, and another guy I remember seeing would always use the RYO club's shredder to rip down cigars to add to his cigs. Custom mixing the tobaccos to inject into the tubes is a big part of that hobby. It's not just rolling tobacco into paper, these RYO places have industrial machines that automate the whole process. I would think that an RYO page or forum would have people with more experience with using different tobaccos in the tubes that we would, as the pipe is the main part of our hobby. And, I don't hear people often on here encouraging people to inhale. Even though some people inhale (do what you want), I don't think it is something that most of us want to encourage in the hobby. Especially, if we are going to keep touting the healthy benefits of the hobby.

Agreed Cosmic,
But if you WERE to choose something to inhale I think an OTC would be your best bet, as a lot of them were used and advertised for both cigs and pipe smoking.
I've always wanted to try certain pipe tobacco blends in cig form. Just seems interesting and would probably taste a little different as opposed to burning it in the pipe.

"I've always enjoyed the ease of not having to carry a pipe around."
Sorry, but I had to laugh. You like the "ease" of not carrying a pipe around -- not sure how that's any different from carrying anything else around -- but it sounds like you're choosing the most complicated way I've ever heard of for smoking *anything*!

It takes such a huge sense of self-confidence to do something that most people don't see being done much these days, like smoking a pipe. I'm not that an 18 year that gives in to pier pressure to smoke cigarettes has the self-confidence to do something as unique as smoke a pipe :wink:

When I was 13 years old, a friend pilfered some pipe tobacco from his dad, and we rolled it up in newspaper and smoked it. Other than that, about 6 years ago, I was desperate for a smoke after sex, and rolled some up in a zig-zag.
Neither was a particularly good smoke.

Thanks for the help guys, when I get back home (as I'm on a vacation trip) I'll dry some out and maybe put up a post or two after I do some experimenting on drying methods/flavors. I'll definitely grab one of those cob pipes (@coalsmoker) and keep that at home or in the car. And just to make things clear I never did inhale when I smoked nails and would just do it for the flavor (which is why I like pipe tobacco better). Something just seems more interesting to me with rolling each smoke instead of buying a pack or packing a pipe, but even then I want to get the taste so I'll definitely grab a solid pipe when I get the chance. Thanks again guys, and advice/criticism is always appreciated

So I gotta say, I dried out some cherry blend that I purchased in Seattle and grinded it up with this coffee grinder I got, boy it was tasty. I got a pipe from some recommendation from you guys, good decision. The pipe tastes better and is nice to sit down with no doubt, but smoking a nice rolled cig on my way to class is quick and easy to dispose of. The only issue I ran into was I dried out a pouch of Captain Black, ground it up and when I tried to roll a cig it wasn't damp enough to roll. Any help on moistening up tobacco? I put a slice of an apple in there, any suggestions?

 

[eastwoodaudio]

Put your tobacco into a bowl with a moist paper towel over it, then cover the bowl and paper towel with a plate. Check it in about an hour, rinse and repeat until the desired moisture has been obtained. BTW, Orlik Golden Sliced was pretty decent rolled up. I didn't have my pipe with me, but happened to have a tin in my bag. My buddy had a rolling machine and some sort of natural hemp papers. It did the trick. Enjoy!

 

[redbeard]

I'm glad to see you enjoyed the pipe better, but either way.... Those black and mild cigars are actually pipe tobacco. Never knew that but when I started smoking pipes noticed that the only cigar I've enjoyed was actually pipe tobacco! :rofl: plus you don't have to roll them

 

[fernage]

@eastwoodaudio awesome. And I'll have to give that tobacco a try. And @redbeard, I kinda enjoy rolling up each one, gives me something to do and hopefully will hinder how many cigs I go through a day ::

 

[colorduke]

I add otc blends to the so called pipetobacco you get in bags and it makes for a great cigarette.

Yes: Don't do this! Apples rot and will foster mold growth. Pick up a humidrole at a pipe/tobacco shop -- will cost less than a buck, I'm guessing -- and use that instead. It's a piece of absorbent clay in a small, perforated metal disc holder; you soak it in water, then drop it in with your tobacco.
They look like this:
