When filling a pipe leave it down from the top a little. You will find it lights easier that way. I often use a golf tee to tamp my pipe with but mostly the tip of my little finger. I now have a callous on it. My finger that is. I would suggest that you buy only an ounce at a time till you find what you like. The light in color ones usually have less bite.

Once a Baptist always a Baptist. Just Joking. I know a lot of Baptists who smoke.

Eh--my grandfather was a Baptist minister for 40+ years and he smoked three packs a day. It's only young Baptists who have to feel guilty about it.

I have found that it depends on whether you are from the south or from the north. Those in the south tend to smoke but wouldn't drink , the northerners tend to drink but not smoke.

This is true. Lots of people in my family use tobacco but won't touch alcohol.

Funny how we are influenced by our region.

I have used tobacco in pretty much all it's forms at one time in my life. I enjoyed chewing tobacco very much but my wife refused to kiss me anymore so I quit. I enjoy my pipe more than all other forms though. My favorite time is when I am studying.

My grandfather and great grandmother used chewing tobacco. Most people around this area use snuff. I personally don't like chew or snuff.

I don't see a problem with it being here in GD, but if you really want, you can always request its own forum.


Seriously though, I have never seen anyone come close to supporting the wrongness of smoking Biblically. Perhaps it is simply that I have not seen it, but I have seen convincing evidence from the Scriptures the other way. I would love to discuss the issue with you some time. The proper environment here on CGR would probably be the Theology forum, which will soon be reopened. (I would also like to note really quick that I am current a non-smoker, in case you were curious.)

Yes, and that idea died pretty quickly because of people who got offended by it, so make of that what you will. Heh.

So long as the forum takes a neutral stance on the issue, does it matter if some are offended?

So, do cloves and pipe tobacco leave that nasty tobacco after-taste in your mouth? Or do thier flavorings create a different "taste" to the smoke?
