Poll: Pipe, Cigar, or Cigarette?

[tsaketh]

If I were going to smoke, I'd smoke something like this:

Spoiler

But only because it matches.

Yuck

I can't stand the taste of clove cigarettes, especially those. Plus, you smell like pine cones after smoking one.

Those taste like Christmas and fire. Unfortunately I think they are illegal in the states so I'm stuck buying the "cigarillo" version

Nah, they are legal. Not sure why they wouldn't be. Cloves don't contain any psychotropic properties.

They are illegal now. Obama signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act that banned basically all flavored cigarettes except for Menthols. Because apparently flavored cigarettes are designed specifically to lure children to smoking. And apparently because kids are stupid, I cannot enjoy kreteks (not that I ever did, as I don't smoke).

Pipe, I have two pipes, a corncob mockup and a very nice replica Sherlock Holmes pipe.

I mix aromatic and English tobacco for interesting flavor.

I'm sure you do *wink*

I don't smoke tobacco much, except from hooka's, but i do own two pipes and a 'water pipe' into which i also mix 'aromatic tobacco' if you get my drift. I like blunts (i.e. to a cigar what a joint is to a cigarette) much more than joints tho, so i guess if i smoked tobacco i'd be a cigar smoker.

pretty sure they are. There was a very recent ban against "flavored cigarettes" and I guess they counted clove as a flavor the cherry and vanilla djarums are gone too.

Really? I was smoking a mate's pipe at a ball once and we couldn't get it to light for several tries. It kept going out...maybe we just suck :/

You just gotta get the hang of it. Basically, you fill to the top, and push it down until you feel pressure. Rinse and repeat, but you should leave room at the top for the tobacco to rise up, as it does this when you light it.

As for it going out, everyone has to light their pipe two or three (or more times) when they smoke it. That is just a fact of smoking a pipe

 

[messy]

I don't smoke but when I need to pretend to I go for a pipe (it comes up more often then you might think)

 

[Tdc2182]

I don't smoke often but when I do its cigars. But I would add somthing about how there are a lot of different types of cigars.

 

[thylasos]

Cigarettes, hookah, spliff when I can lay my hands on it.

 

[Martrex]

I smoke a pipe and cigars.

I always go for an aromatic pipe tobacco - something vanilla flavoured usually.

I always get a comment or admiring looks when smoking at the pub! (I even had a stranger take my picture at a metal festival based purely on pipe usage)

 

[Olikunmissile]

I smoke cigars. Cuban. Not illegal over here in the UK. And my god, it's fucking awesome.

 

[Necrofudge]

Cigar by far is the best way to go. Har har.

 

[SquirrelPants]

Pipes look the most awesome, but cigars are my personal favorites. Cigarettes are just disgusting, IMO.

Like I said: They look cool.
I don't smoke, I think it's pretty stupid.
But if I were to smoke, I'd choose something that looked cool, because I can't imagine doing so for any other reason.

Pipe smoking is cool.

I average 5 times to relight when I smoke my pipe, it's a subtle art you just get used to...like avoiding the bite.

I get what you are saying, but no, I really do mix aromatic and English blend Tobacco...nothing else.

 

[ddon]

i dont smoke but i like those pipes.

 

[T-Bone24]

If I could, I would get a pipe, and an old timey car, and just drive.

I really want to get either a Model A or a Citroen Traction Avant. Not sure how I'll get either. I bet that the Model A would be easier to get ahold of that a French car in the US.

Smoking is for stupid people.

I really wish I could have said something clever or witty here, but I really can't put it any other way.

 

[Russel1]

I don't smoke. Not just because of the health risks, they stink. All my friends who smoke STINK! I hate it, I know that most of them just do it to fit in, it's sad really, and I don't like how they have to keep going outside every hour just for fag, well to be honest, if all my friends were outside having a cig, they offered me one and I was a little bit tipsy, I would take it. Cigars are fine, I have one sitting on my shelf right now, Cuban =) It's dry though so it won't taste nice, but I look like a badman wiv it =P

Romeo Y Julieta Maduro Reserve ( 5x44 )
The burn is consistent and even, producing a nice long ash. The flavor is very balanced, delivering nice strong wood, oak and dark tobacco flavors. About two-thirds of the way through this cigar, the flavors switched a surprisingly pleasant warmed cinnamon. The strength was medium to full bodied and overall this was a great cigar for people who like a lot of flavor with a little spice.

Am I the only one curious as to the results if you tried to smoke a banana?

Cigars it is, but only immediately prior or immediately post performing an act of supreme badassitude.
