Then how do you explain someone not smoking for months getting anxiety from a real life situation that would not be nice to anyone generally, and after he/she gets some nicotine everything feels more flat.

>>173678
He is in fact wrong. Nicotine happens to be a great psychiatric drug (outside its addictiveness). Anxiety, deppression, and focus. Not to mention they think it may help slow neural degeneration.

I noticed that I started having the same issues when my anxiety disorder got really bad or when I smoked just too much. I decided to quit and I've been fine for 3 years.

>Nicotine happens to be a great psychiatric drug

Back up your statement. Smoking increases anxiety:

Based on what you are looking for I would go for Dunhills, which usually are a little more on the expensive side, but they are a great smoke. Another good one is Nat Sherman classics.

>>173687
Thanks' I'll see if my store carries them and give them a try.

Somehwat unrelated to my original post, but does anyone know if the new Camel Turkish line in shiny garish packaging is a different cigarette or just a new box? Lots of people online seem to be complaining about them.

>>173699
Its the same shit. I smoked camel turkish royals before and after packaging change. They are the same. They have too much sugar in them for me so if i smoke camel I go for the longer burning and less sugary filter.

its not a cigarette, its either a mini cigar or a cigarillo (not sure the precise difference), but if you have never tried Prime Times they are quite tasty. come in a few flavors, i always get the purple grape ones. very aromatic too. even people who hate the smell of tobacco usually comment that a smoking prime time smells nice

>>173693
the tan ones; non-filter

i just tried this brand myself the other day. got the blue because i didn't know the differences and liked the color. looks like a picked well.

they were great cigarettes. burned slow and good! shame they're like 7 bucks but that's the price of quality

>>173693
i like the yellow packs and the dark blue ones. for $7 a pack its worth it.

Light blue is all I buy

Blacks or yellows for me
Usually blacks tho cause fuck damn do I love perique

Thanks for the awesome post. We still don't care.

One light smoking isn't the norm in my experience. In fact, at pipe smoking gatherings, its not uncommon to see smoking competitions. Contestants recieve one match, and the person to keep their pipe lit the longest wins.

My tips would be to make sure you let your tobacco dry out. Dont overpack (I prefer thr Frank paking method). And tamp often, but dont press too hard. A protip, I fill a few pipes at the beginning at the week, that way the wood of the pipe wicks the moisture by the time I get to smoke. I use balled up napkins as a plug for the bowl.

I guess I'll just keep trying

>>173652
what tobacc have you been smoking with? Peter Stokkebye Proper English is a good blend that seems to burn well but also cool. You want something like a ribbon cut virginia or english blend. Stay away from flake and coin cut varieties until you learn how to keep your pipe lit. Only problem with straight virginia blends is that they can be mild on flavor, but also burn a little too well and can give you tongue bite.

>>173641
Did Fernando Botero made those pipes?

>>173663
Even fuckin Carter Hall I can't keep lit for more than five minutes at a time.

Drew Estate Java, dude it's like smoking straight chocolate and coffee

>>173465
Have to agree with this guy, Drew Estate makes some good cigars. Try the ACID line it's a great introduction to cigars, my personal favorite is Nasty.

My go to cigar though has been the Rocky Patel 1990 or 1992 vintage.

No.

I’m not going to tell you to stop that, but I will tell you you’re wrong.

I too am quitting dip (well snus, I switched to it in hopes of mitigating the health effects, but found that the reason I wanted to quit was indeed nicotine itself, not just the form it comes in). And I understand exactly what you mean. It’s a lie you tell yourself.

I mean, I’ve always known it was, I tell myself the same thing. I’ve had some similar amazing moments with tobacco as the conductor in that train of consciousness. But it’s not actually that, that makes the moment pleasurable.

Sure, it might be the element that makes it *special*, per se. After all, that’s how it exists in your memory. There’s no erasing that, and you shouldn’t; tobacco played a part in your life during that time.

You similarly though, consider the bad times. The reasons you’ve wanted to quit so many times and are finally doing it (maybe, again, not for the first time). And there’s a point where you realize it’s time to move on. You spiritual at all? At some point you’ll have an awakening, and it’ll be significant for you whether or not you’re using tobacco regularly - but I can guarantee the tobacco itself will play the most minimal of roles.

In my life, although I’ve had those romantic moments myself, the role lady baccy has predominantly served in my life is that of self-loathing and insecurity, and the inability to do what I know needs to be done but still won’t do it for reasons completely unknown to myself.

Anyway I can’t redpill you through flowery text. All I’ll suggest to you is that you’re fucking wrong - and that’s not even a bad thing, just funny that you might go even longer while amicably lying to yourself to put off realizing it in its starkness a bit longer.

I know its sounds cliche as fuck, but what mostly helped me with this, was meditation.

Some peolpe say jogging in open spaces give this in the now feeling, some say yoga does it, for me its meditation and painting.

What you need to realize, its that the cigarette just worked as an anchor, for you to realize the moment, if you had no cig, you would sit there and get distracted by your thoughts, not realizing the beauty of the moment, but since you have a point of attention, the cig, you easily get in the now.

What you need to find, is more stuff that gives you the in the now, mystic sensation.
