Any Pipe Smokers on Board..??

Postby Tommo » Tue Oct 02, 2012 9:27 pm

At long last I have appeared to have kicked the noxious weed (tobacco) into touch.. Notwithstanding a eight year battle keeping on top of COPD; it just had to go. But I needed some sort of displacement activity/therapy - oh I know this is sad but I'm man enough to 'fess up at least. So I have purchased a pipe and all the mod cons that it entails..

Strangely (or not, depending on your view) it seems to suit me at nearing 61. Well beared, portly, sort of windswept and interesting.. that's me, not the pipe!! As the Revd Mrs Tommo pointed out, this could be the beginning of a lifelong trawl around the more arcane 'smoke shops' in the quest for that quirky looking pipe.

And I have begun in what I consider a respectful manner with a tin of ready rubbed PARSON'S PLEASURE. Of which a review states....

"Without even opening the tin, the Parsons Pleasure is already boasting character as the tobacco blend is named after a nude bathing area for Oxford University students and lecturers. The Parsons Pleasure Pipe Tobacco Blend is a straight air cured, Virginia blend with no added casing for a very mild straight tobacco flavour. The only sweetness comes from the natural sugars present in the quality Virgina Leaf. The flavour is not full bodied and not a head spinner so is suitable for a day time smoke (possibly between lectures) or leisurely stroll in your local nudist area when you need your wits about you".

I think I'll avoid a rough shag for while.. :grin: ;) :grin:

When gave up smoking I substituted a pipe and sometimes a cigar for cigarettes. My problem is that I still inhaled so I gave smoking up altogether although I still like a cigar occasionally but I can no longer inhale the smoke without getting sick. My pipe smoking is strictly limited to an occasion hookah in a Lebanese restaurant. I have a informal dinner club where I and several women go out to dinner at various ethnic restaurants. My wife prefers plane Jane food and I prefer something a little more exotic. When we dine at the Lebanese restaurants I’m like the indolent male smoking the hookah surrounded by my harem or the ladies at least tell me that. ;) ;) ;)

I have in the past, and sometimes still do smoke a pipe, not so bad for you, but still worse than not smoking at all.
I know I should give up the 50 grams of Drum every 10 days, but I just don't seem to be able to, now I sort of figure why bother
I have been smoking for over 40 years now, most of my joints are starting to fail, I don't drink regularly so smoking is about all I have left. :oops:

Perhaps I should have clarified that I shall not, will not, could not inhale said noxious weed from a pipe as I did when I smoked cigarettes... :grin: :thup: :grin:

Putting it bluntly by stopping inhaling ciggarette smoke you reduce you risk of lung cancer.

By smoking a pipe you increase your risk of oral cancer.

Just ditch the lot!

Tommo,
If perchance you have the opportunity to go to Dublin my suggestion is to go to Grafton St. and stop by Peterson's Pipe Store. It is a virtual cornucopia of craftsmanship when it comes to pipes. Knowing how you and Vipertek are good friends, be sure to go next door to Fox's Tobacconist's for a couple of Davidoff Tubo Number 2's. You'll get a wonderful pipe and David gets a good smoke. Just my 2 cents.

Time to dig up an old thread :D

If any of you guys are still on about giving up smoking, cigarettes or pipes, Im almost a month now without a cigarette :thup:

Im using e-cigs and loving it
Put a months cigarette money into buying kit
Rather than the ebay type shit or what a lot of fly by night shops peddle and got a decent vape unit with vv and vw, plus mine has a pc hook up
Loads of flavours
Loads of spares
Plus a back up unit, in case mine goes down and most of my kit comes mail order from a shop in China. Not the last Chinese shop I mentioned on here a few years ago that seemed to boost their economy after
This is one a lot of vapers use called Fast Tech

For the pipe smokers
https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/100 ... ry-powered
https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/100 ... ered-cigar

This search will give some idea of the liquid costs as well
https://www.fasttech.com/search?pipe

I went straight from being a 20+ a day smoker to zero a day
Probably the single most sensible thing I have done for years :thup:

And the eu want to ban them.
The maths will probably explain why
100mil of liquid £10 about 50 days vaping
50 days smoking 4.80€ per pack here. No idea about UK prices. Call it £5 for luck. £250

Hi Lee G.

I don't smoke anything but it's good to hear from you. :thup: :thup: :thup: :thup: :thup:

Perhaps if you were selling 22 rim fire CCI Standard Velocity ammo we could deal. :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
