I have a question. I'm a new briar smoker and before that I didn't smoke cigarettes but aromatic cigars occasionally. My mother is a serious cigarette addict who smokes at home and my father, despite hating my mom smoking, smokes himself time to time when with friends or when offered. When I was smoking aromatic cigars such as backwoods or captain blacks with vanillia, they didn't care and actually liked it's smell. They liked the idea and smell of briar pipe at first too.
After a while when we had fights and arguments on totally different topics, we started to dislike each other. They suddenly started to dislike everything about me and especcially my pipe smoking. Now, I smoke around my friends outside, in cafes and bars. Some of the people are non-smokers and some never seen someone smoke a pipe nor knew the smell of it yet they loved it. Even the smokers commented many times, it smells great and doesn't smell bad as the cigarettes they smoke. As a non smoker, I personally can comment that if it would smell anything like a cigarette, I wouldn't be able to smoke it myself. (I don't inhale and never inhaled any kind of smoke before) It pretty much seems like that, considering all the other comments and recations of other people and their first reaction before the arguments, the fact that they do not actually dislike the smell, but they dislike me. What do you say about when smokers complain about smell of pipe tobacco which is far better quality, free of chemicals and natural. Could it really be they actually get disturbed of the smell or are they just mobbing? Honestly, I don't give a shit I am just trying to understand the stuation.
I usually smoke davidoff blends and mac baren seven seas blends.
