The occasional cigar. Very seldom a cigarette, which I also don't inhale.
Occasional cigar, occasional cigarette and very occasionally another herb combustible. Took me too long to kick the alternative combustible herb habit though so I’m quite wary of it. Didn’t do much for my success as a human being.
Pipe smoking ticks all the boxes for me at the moment.
Pipe smoking ticks all the boxes for me at the moment.
Cigarettes lost their appeal many years ago. Smoked kreteks for a while until my wife got upset with the number of ruined shirts and ties. Now mainly pipes with the occasional cigar.
5-6 pipes in group 4-5 sized pipes. Basically I am smoking all day. I am retired and there is no one to tell me what to do. I am the king of my castle and there is no queen to bitch at me.
An occasional cigar. Maybe 6 or so a year. I’ve been trying my best to not go down the cigar rabbit hole.
Over 11 years ago I switched from 30-40 cigs a day to a pipe and have not had a cigarette since.
Although I do enjoy cigars I rarely smoke those due to the higher nicotine than the blends that I smoke in my pipes. [After successfully ditching the cigs I'd hate to become addicted to cigars]
2-3 'one-hit' pipes or a small joint or two of cannabis a day not only treats my chronic nerve pain but it's anti-inflammatory qualities has slowed the progression of my 'terminal' vascular disease [Buergers disease "kills 100% of patients within 2-3 years after diagnosis" according to the experts and their medical textbooks. I've survived for over 21 years since diagnosis]
My homemade hashish is reserved for when I'm having a bad day.

Right now: pretty much only pipes and fine tobacco, with the (very) occasional cigar -- like one every two weeks or so.
Last year I worked on a pack of American Spirit Perique just for fun. It took me a whole year to smoke that pack.
And then there was this time I was into RYO. Those were the days.

the what?I light the Chalice at least once a day.
the medicinal aspect of both tobacco and some other things is very real.
Cigars on nice days, pipes the rest of the time, the occasional dart at work.
Cigars (Arturo Fuente & Padron being my two most smoked brands). I started smoking cigars in the mid-1990s and pipes in the mid-2000s. Thus, I am primarily a cigar smoker, but have been trending more and more toward being primarily a pipe smoker over the past year or so to the point where I haven’t had a cigar now for over a month.
I smoke around a pack to a pack and a half of Cigs a day with 2-3 pipes a day. I have to start my day with a cob of Crooner on the drive into work and then a bowl of whatever I feel like for the ride home. I also smoke 2-3 bowls of “other” when I’m done working for the day. And lastly maybe a cigar a week sometimes more, if I don’t have time for a pipe I’ll smoke a quick cigarillo here and there as well. As I type this I realize I smoke more then an old Astro Van lmao
Absolutely.
I've used tobacco as a means to treat stress and depression since I was a kid.
It's so deeply ingrained that even after abstaining for around nine months [6 months of that time I was in a hospital bed] I reached for a cigarette when I reached a really low point.
All it took was one to fall off the wagon.
The one thing that I keep repeating because it's something that needs to be common knowledge, is that there's a huge difference between tailor-made cigarettes [that have a staggering 300-600 added chemicals] and natural tobacco.
Quietly puffing on a pipe [or a cigar for that matter] is relaxing and often meditative.
Stress is a known killer.
Over 21 years ago I was diagnosed with Buergers disease and given 3 years max.
Buergers disease is caused by smoking according to the medical field.
For close to ten years I tortured myself with repeated quit attempts due to worsening symptoms [When ones fingers start turning blue and purple it's quite the motivator]
Since switching from my 30-40 a day cigarette addiction to a pipe, my condition is no longer affected and in some areas, has improved [Lost my smokers cough for one thing]
In addition to pipe tobacco (2 bowls a week) I smoke grass clippings from my lawn.
I also have a well-stocked humidor full of cigars that I draw from maybe once a week or so.

Nothing. Pipe smoking is the first and only tobacco I will pursue. To me it has added something that lets me wind down each day with a calorie free moment just to myself.
Charlie Wallace for the win?I light the Chalice at least once a day.
