Finding my love for pipe smoking after a long cigarette-filled hiatus. Smoked a large bowl of 3+ year old HU Khoisaan with my morning coffee (black) and was amazed by how complex and enjoyable it was. One of these bowls where you don't want it to end!

Let's hope this is the time I finally escape cigarettes, every time I stop (won't say quit yet until I've been off the cigs for at least a year...) I always think "What a STUPID way to consume tobacco".
I smoked cigarettes for a long while until I was 30. Got off them temporarily at university by taking up a pipe (which was a fad spawned by the movie "National Lampoon's Animal House". I went back to cigarettes until I beat the addictive qualities of the genre by using chewing tobacoo, which I did NOT find addictive. Nor do I find pipes addictive.. You can make an effective chew by using 2 parts high burley codger tobacco and 2 parts very sweet aromatic, like C&Ds Autumn Evening. Works. I use this homemade concoction when I teach music students. They never know lol. Give it a try!

Hmmm, I use snus packages recently and they help as they deliver a big nicotine hit. I'd read that chewing tobacco and dip can be just as hard to quit as cigarettes, though. Anyway the main point was that my palate has cleaned up some so I enjoy pipe tobacco even more nowadays!

Currently smoking my Tekin Lion and Claw meer with some Iwan Ries - Old Colonial with some company from the cats.

After a pipe burst in our bathroom, causing both bathrooms to need gutted and remodeled, we moved the cats into the shop, so I'll have some visitors for a while. At least on the days I'm at the house and not in our AirBnB.

I was planning a nice, leisurely afternoon with a cigar, but the snow, 40-50 mph winds, and household chores laid waste to those plans. My consolation prize is a nice Falcon of Father Dempsey (overlooking the driveway my neighbor and I resurfaced on Saturday).

Unfortunately, the breeze is burning it to ash in record time: I’m going to need to move to my smoking tent and reload
