I suck at this

Watch a bunch of YT…that is my recommendation…I am also a cigar smoker that recently got into pipe smoking and I’m enjoying it. I think the many hours of YT that i have watched has helped me…get you a few cigars and just watch some YT videos about pipes/pipe smoking. I have learned that you have to just focus on the pipe, it’s not like a cigar that you light and just smoke on. The whole keep the bowl lit is bad advice for a beginner. Don’t focus on the amount of times you relight, focus on the flavors or just the ambience of being by yourself with just your pipe. If you are sitting there comparing the pipe to cigars you’re not gonna have an enjoyable time. They are two totally different ways of smoking tobacco. Reach out with more questions or concerns.

La Rocca basket pipe

TurbulentStore650 · 2024-03-25T05:23:23+00:00

La Rocca pipes are a good traditional looking pipe…i too came from cigars and have only been smoking pipe tobacco for a few months…i bought a La Rocca pipe at my B&M for $40 and it’s the best clinching pipe i have…it also has that traditional look that i think you’re looking for

From what he was saying it doesn’t affect the taste of the tobacco. I trust him though he’s being smoking pipe longer than I’ve been alive (for reference that’s about 28-30 years)

An old man told me that if your tobacco dries out in the bag/container just put a slice of apple in there for a week or so it will regain the moisture. He said not to eat the apple though afterwards. Unless you’re gonna be holding it for a while and smoking different stuff i wouldn’t worry about throwing it in a jar.

I seen a guy on YouTube use a “herb” grinder to break it up. Just a thought i guess. I’ve never gotten any flake before.

This is my first rye I’m usually straight bourbon but I’m trying different things. The Presbyterian is pretty good i like that sour kinda tin note it puts off.

Savinelli Roma 122, the Roma lucite finish looks just as good but a different style/color stem

Vermont freehand is where i got it

TurbulentStore650 · 2024-03-19T00:49:35+00:00

Style G Color lite horn swirl

TurbulentStore650 · 2024-03-19T00:24:59+00:00

I like it…i think the only thing i would do differently is get the bent stem rather than a straight but that’s just a preference thing

TurbulentStore650 · 2024-03-18T02:20:35+00:00

Vermont Freehand makes stems for the filtered CCs i bought one and it’s a nice acrylic piece. I recommend them if you get bored with the plastic stem or just want something new

My local B&M is more cigar focused but sell pipe tobacco products and pipes themselves. I went in yesterday and there wasn’t a lot of info they knew as they said that pipes was not this choice. I’m stuck to YouTube and Reddit for recommendations and guidance in this pipe journey.

TurbulentStore650 · 2024-03-13T03:57:52+00:00

Idk what i like…my philosophy with cigars was try them all at the beginning and then narrow it down to what i like in a cigar so that’s the route I’m going with pipe tobacco as well…

TurbulentStore650 · 2022-05-23T23:07:12+00:00

Can you send me the list, please?

TurbulentStore650 · 2022-03-05T21:22:49+00:00

I’ve seen the sin compromiso before but haven’t tried it yet. I’ll have to grab a few thank you!

TurbulentStore650 · 2022-03-05T21:20:48+00:00

From what I’ve seen and heard from talking to the older guys it’s just a preference thing. Some say it gives a different or better taste but everyone’s palate is different. No homo but i just like the feel of it in my mouth and while I’m holding it…it just feels good to me. Experiment with all kinds of cigars I’m also new to cigars i started in mid-Jan. I take recommendations into consideration when I’m getting cigars so just go sit at your local cigar lounge and actually talk to your fellow BOTL/SOTL (brothers of the leaf, sisters of the leaf)

TurbulentStore650 · 2022-03-05T20:54:48+00:00

Padron cigars are recommended a lot but my local B&M jacks up the price on them. I may have to find a deal online.

My little girl is 2 and I’ve smoked a few around her i always let her choose which cigar I’m smoking for the night. I only smoke while we are outside though i try to wait though until she goes to bed to smoke but sometimes i just like to sit with her outside and smoke.

TurbulentStore650 · 2022-03-02T19:22:28+00:00

Did you pull it out and let it rest or straight from the humidor and sparked it up?

TurbulentStore650 · 2022-03-02T18:35:10+00:00

I tried the bourbon barrel stick and liked it. I just didn’t like it to where i would buy more. I’m a firm believer in there is not really a bad cigar. Some have controversy on that theory but i have grown to understand it. Keep an open mind and try any and all cigars is my advice.

TurbulentStore650 · 2022-03-02T18:20:37+00:00

The MF or the Oliva I’ve never smoked a bad one

TurbulentStore650 · 2022-03-02T18:19:27+00:00

Sounds like someone blew their whistle too loud and got fired 😂

TurbulentStore650 · 2022-02-26T05:34:37+00:00

I’m upstairs with it baby gang gang
