pandyboy Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I knew this is a cigar forum but does anyone smoke a pipe here. I know a lot of coat smokers who also smoke pipes. Here's one I've just bought. Just wondering? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 l tried to smoke my Coat once but l couldn't keep the sleaves lit. I'd have thought there'd be no problem burning chiffon. Pandy, if you do a title search using pipe, there are some discussions which may be of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemsworth Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Yup. I love my pipes. In fact, I've been hitting them more than the cigars lately. My favorites are my Savinelli Author and my Brigham Algonquin. As for tobacco, Fairmorn's Lancer's Slices and 4noggins Bald Headed Teacher and Britt's Balkan see to be the ones that I reach for most often.

mk05 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Bought a couple Petersons and realized it was a phase. Lost them in a move. They smell nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazolaman Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I've a few good pipes. Live next to Gawiths, so that's generally what I smoke. Saved my marriage, as we travelled in the campervan, without that pipe..it could have got messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshua84 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Smoking my Savenelli churchwarden now. For cigar smokers I suggest that you don't start with aromatics tobacco. Go for the pure stuffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justmi Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have a couple of Savinellis. Its a different experience to cigars, I alternate between the two depending on my mood. Much like cigars which are overly humid, issues with burning and keeping pipes lit start with overly moist tobacco. I pack my pipe and let it sit for 30 mins so the tobacco drys a bit before I start. To get an idea on what various profiles of tobacco there are, have a look at tobaccoreview.com for various user reviews. I did not get along with MacBaren tobacco but like Samuel Gawith.

Bolismoker Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I've tried to get into pipes on several occasions. But I guess nothing does it for me like a well made CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallclub Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 My Moretti rusticated stubby pot. Moretti pipes are excellent. Carved in good, aged briar, well drilled, well finished. Their only flaw is IMHO the thickness of their mouth piece, but they're a better choice than an italian/english/Irish/french semi-industrial product… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their only flaw is IMHO the thickness of their mouth piece, but they're a better choice than an italian/english/Irish/french semi-industrial product… I've got a couple of estate Stanwell's, and a Nording. Whilst they're perfectly fine pipes, the Moretti just sits better and I seem to enjoy smoking it more than the others. So much so that I've just bought another one. Looking forward to it arriving. Part of the appeal is finding the perfect pipe I think. I guess the fact that they are hand made is part of the appeal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua84 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Cigars and pipes are akin to apples and oranges. It is very hard to compare. And I agree that finding the perfect pipe makes the whole smoking process much more enjoyable. And if you want a pipe tobacco with a good punch and rich flavours like a CC, I highly recommend the Peterson Perfect Plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmc123 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I have a few nice estate pipes from italy that i smoke every now and then but i tend to break out the corn cobs more often than not. Cheap as chips and smoke cool and easy. But to me if im feeling like a gramps, nothingbeats a good old straight briar billiard for me. If your struggling to keep them lit this may help. Generally pipe tobacco has a lot more moisture than other forms of tobacco so to counter this its good practice to either pull your tobacco out and place it in a small dish 10-30 mins before moking or just to pack your pipe an hour or so before smoking. I found this technique worked wonders when i was starting out in the world of pipes. When i retire, i can see myself smoking my pipes more regularly, so many variations in the tobacco and dont even get me started on ageing tobacco.

CigarmanTim Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I have just recently got into pipes. A total newb. I purchased an estate Ben Wade free hand of the Preben Holm era a few months ago. 2 weeks ago I purchased a second Ben Wade also of the Preben Holm era and another Danish looking freehand. The " other" free hand turned out to be made in Stowe Vermont by Elliott Nachwalter.A talented artist but poor marketer.Absolutely beautiful. I bought it for $12 and found the same pipe on Nachwalters website that sold for $299. Honestly they go for 60-85 on ebay.i love the looks of that pipe but it gurgles.
