best med. strength was mac baren navy flake

with actual tobacco flavor

when i started smoking i thought aromatic stuff was good, but it was real boring

not much dimension

plus no buzz

i could just eat candy

and get fatter instead

hahah i see

ill visit my local smoke shop and see if they have any

its kind of a pain in the ass taking cigars around

cant put em in your pocket and walk

gotta be in your mouth or left at home

yeah once you get the hang of a pipe, they're pretty cool

it takes some time

i usually smoke Partagas, which is full strength

yeah? why is that?

is there some technique?

yeah, a great deal of it comes with experience. finding the best way to pack the pipe you're using, etc

keeping it lit

keeping it cool enough

this is my cigar smoking technique, aside from the initial light up and first draw, i tend to the blow the smoke out as if im whistling, blowing small amounts into the nostrils.

yeah, it's similar. kind of let the smoke creep through your nasal passages and back out your mouth slowly

it's the apparatus you'd have to get used to is all, really

interesting

yeah very small amounts of smoke go into the nostril

just enough to get the aroma and flavour profile

yes exactly

i use the term creep

nice

since im a sensitive sally

i found out about this technique through trial and error

just developed it over time

that's basically what it comes down to

there's no right way

it's finding joy in something

as long you can understand the flavour and of course, enjoy it.

watching dudes fiendishly light up bugs me sometimes

pipes?

or in general

cigars, i've seen

pipes are relegated to the truly autistic
