Which Smokes Make You Feel Manly?

[rdavid]

Engine #99 and Billy Budd

Totally addicted to both of these.

 

[mikethompson]

What, no Captain Black Grape?

 

[snagstangl]

Straight burley.

Royal Yacht, Condor, Hyde Park, Key Largo and about any pouch I can cram in my shirt pocket have the requisite strength to put even more hair on my chest.

That's what this guy smokes.

 

[Briar Baron]

OK, my 2c, it is not the tobacco but the preparation. Carving up a plug tobacco with your trusty Bowie hunting knife must be the path to manliness!!

 

[cranseiron]

I'll have to go with twists and ropes. Not for their nicotine content, but rather as these forms were used by sailors in the days of sail where sissies dared not tread.

 

[carolinachurchwarden]

I'm in the rope camp. Nothing spells manly like GH Rum Twist. That'll put some hair on your chest.

Agree. Prep is the key. Biting off a chunk of rope and splintering it with your fingernails might be impressive. Lighting with a kitchen match off your beard (or merkin) —very impressive.

Jesse, I know where you might be going with this thread. So, I'll ask the the question, "How are we defining manly?"

We-llll, we were overdue for another manliness thread... :mrgreen:
And that's all I'll say.

Sable,
I'd offer that it is the smoking of a pipe that is the manly thing. The tobacco within the pipe is simply for the pleasure of he who smokes it.
Cheers,
Chili

At this very moment, some woman is probably reading this thread while smoking a huge pipe filled with fresh cut uncured tobacco that is just simply dripping with nicotine, thinking, "Silly, silly little boys...."

 

[Chasing Embers]

My wife has an affinity for Cotton Boll.

 

[mrmachado]

None. I don't feel manly about smoking pipes. That's why I bought this "not-manly" pipe, which is, by my standards, the most beautiful ever made. :lol:

 

[winton]

I have smoked straight Perique and Latakia. I have tried several ropes, but didn't enjoy them.
Most of my smoking is in my woodworking shop. Thus, even if I am enjoying a raspberry aromatic, I am surrounded by power tools. I really need to rake out all the woodchips and sawdust on the floor.

 

[condorlover1]

Interesting question. I would have to say chewing some brown twist, letting the chewed remains dry out in your hat and then conditioning it by finishing the process by stuffing it down your crotch and then smoking it in a broken clay pipe! :rofl:

 

[recluse]

So what smokes settle any gender identity issues for you, put hair on your chest, or otherwise leave you walking tall with the toilet seat up?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Well Played, Sable, well played.

The guy who cut the phrase that talking about manliness is the least manly thing one can do, just trimmed some manly points from some forum members, ha ha.

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK....
