"Pipe smoking doesn't have to be expensive to start. I suggest going to a local tobacconist and buying either a corn cob pipe or a "basket pipe." Basket pipes are basically factory seconds or other no-name brands but are usually…"

Logan replied to Conor Fergus's discussion Pipes vs. Cigars?"Pipes are great. I smoke both cigars and pipes, and enjoy my pipe a bit more than cigars. With a pipe you can just light up, have a few puffs, put it out, and repeat a few hours later. Depending on the pipe you buy it can be pricey. As for tobacco…"
"Listen Kid. I did not answer to Neill because he just like you are not in the same conversation. We are here to discuss wether it is less expensive and a better expirience to smoke Pipe in contrast to Cigars."
Tyler M. replied to Conor Fergus's discussion Pipes vs. Cigars?"Curious as to why you didn't answer what the first person asked, too sensitive of an issue for you? Insecure? Or did you just not see it?
I'm also curious as to what leads most people to smoking, what was it for you, if you care to answer?"
"It is less expensive. Some smoke shops carry a wide variety of tabaco blends. Is if well worth a try I recomend you try a corn cobb pipe. It is very inexpensive and among the best reguarded."
"I like both, but lack a decent local. Its easier to mail order pipe tobacco, so thats what I do. "
The Okie replied to Conor Fergus's discussion Pipes vs. Cigars?"I enjoy a good cigar, but I'm a pipe guy all the way.
Typically pipe tobacco runs around $4.00/ounce at tobacco stores and comes in multiple flavors.
Smooth, Fun, Smells Amazing."
Conor Fergus replied to Conor Fergus's discussion How to properly light a pipe?"Okay. This looks quite promising so far. I'm going to be using it again tonight so I'll try out these tips then and hope it helps. It was fired at the factory. Don't know if that means it should be less likely to go out though."
Craig McCurdy replied to Conor Fergus's discussion How to properly light a pipe?"Everything your being told is great advice, I lay my tobacco out in a little wooden bowl for about 20 min prior to pacing my bowl this lets it dry a little. Then I light it twice the first time is to toast the tobacco and remove more moisture the…"
Michael D. Denny replied to Conor Fergus's discussion How to properly light a pipe?"You didn't take the factory installed filter out of the stem, did you?
Pull the pipe apart and ditch the little white tubular filter that you find stuck inside there.. "
Jason Cunningham replied to Conor Fergus's discussion How to properly light a pipe?"That is a common problem with new pipes and new pipe smokers. There are several thing to take into account. The first is that it is a new pipe. They will go out frequently until they are broken-in. Another thing is the method you are using when…"
Dish replied to Conor Fergus's discussion How to properly light a pipe?"might be packing it too tight or too loose. get a 8d or smaller nail n poke holes in it before you light it, and once you get the cherry going, blow back through lightly, and/or cover it with yer and puff on it a bit then open it back up. I had the…"

Conor Fergus replied to Conor Fergus's discussion Pipes vs. Cigars?"I'm right there with you on the cigs. If it wasn't for the nicotine I'd have lost them by now. I really dislike the taste and flavor of the paper burning. I really like Djarums for that. They're wrapped in a sort of sheet tobacco…"
Kjell replied to Conor Fergus's discussion Pipes vs. Cigars?"To answer your question, yes I find it cheaper to smoke pipes. Quite a lot cheaper once you've bought your pipe and tools (granted, you could say cigars have a similar start-up cost as you should buy a humidor or make one yourself if you plan…"
Jason Cunningham replied to Conor Fergus's discussion Pipes vs. Cigars?" I find that a pipe is a nice way to start the day with a cup of coffee. The time it takes to get your coffee brewed and ready to drink you can get your pipe ready and lit. Read the paper, drink your coffe, and smoke your…"

Steve replied to Jonny's discussion Was putting my dog to sleep the right thing to do?"That's no way for a much loved pet/companion to live...you absolutely did the right thing IMO.
It's always heart breaking to lose a pet in any circumstances, but we have to take responsibility for these things, and it would have…"
Steve replied to Vincent's discussion Appropriate Interview Suit?"I'd go for a more classic cut personally, and something far less shiny.
I have a suit that is similar to yours, it's cut in a more tailored style as opposed to the extreme slim cut of yours, but it's something I'd only wear for…"
