Whence I retook up the pipe thefirst thing I noticed was i wanted sleep afterwards. Didn't matter the blend. I'd smoke and I'd spend the rest of my day wanting a nap.

Lately I've been smoking Presbyterian and newminster Navy Flake. Each of those days I have had night mares. Lay down fall asleep wake up 2 hours later with a nightmare.

Switched to Hal o the wynd for 2 days and I only feel happy and relaxed. Not sleepy. And absolutely no nightmares.

Is this just a sign of intolerance to these blends or just my body telling me to stick to better blends

Perhaps experiment with some Devils holiday tobacco and report back with your results.

Dreams reflect our state of mind rather than smoking, or anything else (weed is an exception to this).

Seems like more of a keyboard/impulse/fabrication kind of thing.

Barney Fife called it a "compelsion".

COVID kicked my ass, like a fresh cauliflower. I would give anything to smoke a good cigar right now, but my sense of smell is still off, as is my sense of taste. Damn side effects, hahahahaha.🥴😵‍💫😬

After surviving my bout in 2021, which wasn't a given based on what my wife and doctor say now, lol, I was relieved when things finally seemed back to normal with taste and smell, but for me that was about a year to the day from when I was knocked down. Funny you mention cigars, it was a cigar about 18 months ago that signaled more than anything pipe related that my sense of taste and smell was still coming back a bit even a couple of years down the road.

After regular mornings smoking one bowl after another, different blends, I went through a period of after lunch naps with vivid dreams of post-catastrophe scenarios. It was awesome, man.
