Yes
Pipes taste better toe but they are like hot air compared to cigars. Pipe tobacco has also more a bigger taste and smell spectrum to choose while cigars even if they have clearly different notes they tend to have a more uniform taste.

Smoking pipes everyday is more expensive than smoking cigars, unless you're a retard who think that cigars for less than 10$ are not good

That big difference is the learning curve. Pipes require you to learn how to smoke it and the first month will taste like shit if you are on your own, you will burn the tobacco, you'll pack it too loosely/tight, you need to relight it every 2 puffs and tobacco will be tasteless, you need to leant how and when use the Czech tool, you will burn your young trying desperately to keep it light,....

Cigars instead, you learn ho to light it, correct it when it starts burning unevenly and puff with the right cadence and that's it (and you don't have to clean up anything)

I still prefer pipes for the taste and the type of smoking overall despite it being a less relaxed experience respect to cigars

Also don't listen to retards here and **don't** start with a corncob, buy a not expensive straight briar, better if branded (some Savinelli are not super expansive and smoke really good)

You can buy a corncob as your second or , even better, third pipe

Corncobs are a pretty good place to start if you are going to smoke mainly aromatic tobacco. They can tend to impart a bit of sweetness to the tobacco and if you use the filter it can help with some of the goop that comes from smoking aromatics.
Once you start smoking Virginias, Burleys, and English blends without aromatic toppings, you will be better served with a briar or meerschaum pipe. They are more neutral in flavor and have better smoking characteristics that will allow you to better enjoy more serious or nuanced tobacco.
I still have my first corncob from 10+ years ago and although I don't use it often I will break it out if I feel like a bowl of 1Q or BCA or something along those lines.

Cigars are a probably a better place to start without making a large investment.

I think most people starting out do tend to start with aromatics instead of Va-Pers or full-English blends. You are also more likely to burn out a pipe starting off until you learn proper smoking cadence - better to destroy a $3 cob. If you are smoking hot enough to burn our a cob, you are smoking hot enough to damage a briar pipe as well.

Also unless you are buying an estate pipe most briar you find under $50 will be pretty poor quality. Maybe a Morgan Bones will work if you don't really care for aesthetics.

Even most people who smoke cigarettes are more likely to start with aromatics. Most places that sell cigarettes only sell drugstore blends like Captain Black or Borkam Riff which are aromatics. Most cigarette smokers aren't going to walk into a specialized tobacconist and say gimme a tin of Balkan Sobranie or Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture. Hell, I don't think most cigarette smokers actually know what varietey of tobacco they are smoking in their cigarettes unless they are rolling their own.

IIRC there was a massive study of like 70,000 smokers over the course of over 30 years, and it was found that cigarette smokers had a 70% higher mortality rate from all causes against control at the end of the study period.

Cigars and cigarettes fill two completely different roles, you absolute moron.
Cigarettes are cheap factory floor shavings crammed into a cheap rolling paper with a bunch of other chemicals like arsenic (rat poison). People who smoke cigarettes INHALE them, and they are normally hopelessly addicted to nicotine. Cigarettes cause lung cancer.
Cigars are filled with premium tobacco rolled in a tobacco leaf, and nothing else. You DONT INHALE cigars, you let the smoke linger in your mouth and then you blow it out. And cigar smoking doesn't give you cancer as long as you brush your teeth and use mouthwash daily like you should be doing anyway.

Honestly by reading only the abstract it's not so easy to draw some conclusion, if you have the full article you might post the link also.

Seems rather implausible that something you don't inhale gives you the same probability of cancer.
We need to know how people smoke them: if they smoke them inside a room (very common) it's pretty obvious that you inevitably inhale the smoke and get a equivalent results.

[Anonymous No.16242875]

>>16242775
The flavors you're tasting aren't exactly from the combusting tobacco. The heat from the cherry is slowly releasing oils from the unlit tobacco behind it. The HOTTER a cigar gets, the worse the unlit tobacco remaining will taste as the leaves are getting charred before they need to be. So if you just dunk the foot of a cigar into the flame and puff until its lit, you've fucked up at least 1/3 of your stick.

Yes, but they're not actually igniting more than 1 or 2cm of tobacco. Toast then light puffs for ignition. You're not trying to suck the flame through the entire cigar.

[Anonymous No.16242984]

>>16242775
>>16242875
It also has another purpose; by toasting the foot of the cigar, you're basically pre-burning it uniformly so when you apply the actual lighting flame, you help to ensure that it burns more evenly and you don't even up say, lighting one side more that the other, resulting in a bad burn.

Your entire post is nonsense and it sounds like someone trying to scare people off pipe smoking.

Pipe smoking is not more expensive that cigar smoking, especailly in the US where you can get a tin or a pouch for under 10 dollars in places. That will give you far more smoking time of a higher quality. Five bundle cigars will not last as long as the pipe tobacco in a two ounce tin.

The nonsense about pipe smoke being like 'hot air' or that pipe tobacco tastes better than cigars. They taste different, you may prefer it but to say that pipe tobacco is better than cigars, both of which have a load of radically different tasting tobaccos and cigars involved, is rubbish.

Pipe smoking can be great from the first time. I loved my first smoke even if it was hard to get it packed and I had to relight a fair bit. A month before it's good is nonsense. The idea that the tobacco is tasteless if you don't know how to smoke it properly is also rubbish. Even a complete beginner can probably watch a video, pack and smoke and get enjoyment out of a pipe even if it's not opitmal.

The idea that pipes are somehow less relaxing than cigars when once you're used to a pipe, it's literally effortless to pack and light it.

And your absolute obsessive hate of corncobs which does not reflect my experience with them or others. Add to that that all my briars show chatter because I don't care about it so to say that it's a 'cheap pipe' thing is rubbish. It's just a pipe thing. You don't have to spend $40 on a pipe to get a good smoking pipe. My first pipe was pearwood and it smoked perfectly well.

Pipe smoking is more expensive than cigars smoking on average. You can find cigars under a dollar, that's a shit argument.

> Five bundle cigars will not last as long as the pipe tobacco in a two ounce tin.
If you don't smoke pipe it will last forever, again, that's a really shit argument.

Pipes pbjectively have less body than cigars you mongoloid

If you are a retard that cannot distinguish a subjective argument in a broader objective one you have worse problem than tobacco. Still what is wrote in that post is correct.

It can. But most probably will not, and that's a fact. You can search whatever blog/ty video whatever the fuck you usually visit and see for yourself
Just because you have a good first experience doesn't mean shit

> he tobacco is tasteless if you don't know how to smoke it properly is also rubbish
Absolutely true. You can burn the tobacco easily, you can light the tabacco unevenly, you can overheat your toungue and the tabacco will be tasteless.

> The idea that pipes are somehow less relaxing than cigars when once you're used to a pipe, it's literally effortless to pack and light it.

Again a load of nonsense. You're not going to be smoking longer, ie total amount of smoking time spent with cigars as you would with two ounces of pipe tobacco for the price you pay unless you're puffing away at your pipe at such a pace that you might as well be burning sawdust for all the flavour you have. Pipe tobacco does not 'objectively' have less body. I've had plenty of tobacco blends with a pipe that felt more solid and dense than several cigars, mostly the more oriental forward english blends. The rest of your post here is nonsense, like the idea that pipe smoking isn't relaxing. I honestly have to spend more time worrying about cigars and checking to see the burn rate then I do about a pipe which I can pack, light, tamp down as I go and maybe relight in about thirty minutes or so as opposed to worrying about a cigar caneoing or such. It's not a delicate thing which needs constant maintainence and attention, once you've got a good hand of it, you can light and puff away for ages. If I smoke while driving or doing something where I don't want to worry about things, I'll light a pipe, not a cigar. Your entire post here is also nonsense, as again your ridiculous obsessive hatred of cobs and insistence that you need a 40+ dollar pipe to have a good smoke. You simply don't and all of your nonsense is completely obvious to anyone who's actually spent time smoking pipes. I could go into more detail about it but why waste that time on a blatant troll?

On the subject of price, finding 50g of good tobacco under 15$ is really rare.

You don't have to compare how much does it cost smoking one cigar vs how much does it cost smoking one pipe.
Because of the lenght of smoking and the nicotine content on average a pipe smoker smokes from 4-8 pipes loaded with 3/4 g of tobacco. Cigars smokers smoke 1 cigar a day on average. With 5$ you can get a really fine cigars.

Outliers don't count, there are peole who smoke a tin of pipe tobacco a day and there are people who smokes 5 20$ cigars a day. Based on the average consumption dictated by satisfaction, smoking pipes is more expensive than cigars. That's a fact, it may not represent you but it doesn't meant it's not true

[Anonymous No.16243386]

>>16243354
First off, I'm going to disagree. By American prices for instance there's plenty of good quality pipe tobacco that outclasses many bundle cigars and you're changing the argument. Now it's no longer 'more expensive' it's now 'well it's more expensive if you want the high end stuff'. Which is also quite debateable. We can also then go into other countries. Even places with low cigar tax like Germany, you can get more hours out of a tin of Samuel Gawith then you could for the five or so cigars you could buy for the same price (About two, three euros a stick). You'd have to be smoking something ike Toscanos to eek out a cigar of higher time/value to challenge that. And this is again also going by a subjective taste. Someone might enjoy the cheaper blend, or the cheaper cigar, but that wasn't the point being made.

Because smoking pipes requires more attention, you don't generally talk during your smoking session because otherwise your pipe will go off

That cigar aficionado story I linked is the best article I've read on him. I unknowingly started smoking his blends about a decade ago when I was smoking cheap nestor plasencias and they were fantastic. Only good budget sticks I'd get from cbid bundles. I also picked up a real fucking expensive 3 pack of original release ave maria reconquistas, turned out he blended that too, and aged them until 2018. I've smoked the whole liga privada unicos line and had dozens of opus x and aged cubans, not too many high end davidoffs yet. That reconquista will blew 98% of them out of the water. I'd consider blowing the guy for a cooler full of them.

Not surprising, of course smoking anything will increase your risk of cancer. It's dose and duration dependent. Smoke 1 cigarette? No cancer. Smoke 3 cigars a week? Very low elevation of risk. And so on.

>>Our results suggest that smoking of European cigars, cigarillos, and pipe tobacco might exert a carcinogenic effect on the lung comparable to that of cigarettes.

Glaring issue with this conclusion is sample size of cigar/pipe only smokers.
Pure cigar smokers: 58
Pure pipe smokers: 180
Some of whom inhaled the smoke on purpose. It's true that you will inhale accidentally a small portion of a cigar or pipe's smoke. But the data here do not adequately explain or support the conclusion that smoking pipes or cigars without inhaling will increase lung cancer risk.

Not only that, but too much buildup can actually cause problems down the road, as the different rates of temperature change between the carbon buildup and the material of the bowl (specifically the speed they expand/contract) risks causing damage over time. If it gets too thick, you can use the pipe tool to clean things up to a more appropriate level.

what he is right about though is that a good air purifier with a charcoal filter will completely eliminate the smell. I use a honeywell (I think it's an HPA330) with both the hepa and charcoal filters, and if I ever smell anything after a few hours then I know it's time to replace the filters. The one I've got can filter something like 500 sqft/min, and cost less than $300 at home depot.

Shit man. I've never wanted to smoke in my life. Matter of fact, i've always had an inherent grudge against smokers. Always seemed like some dumb shit. But recently i've been so intrigued by cigars specifically, especially because you don't inhale them (i understand there are still hazardous effects to your health, however). I'm inclined to buy a single cigar just to try it out but honestly i'm afraid i'll like it. Always did believe you shouldn't invite evil into your life if you can help it.

you're good. there isn't really a wide range of cigar flavor profiles. there's spanish style cigars with a handful of wrappers (the flavor comes from the wrapper so ignore the filler tobacco, it just makes smoke and nicotine), then there's the italian style cheroots (toscano, parodi, avanti) made with fire-cured burley and have a bbq-ish taste, and flavored cigars which will taste like whatever is printed on the package. that about it.

> Then smoking pipes, for us, is much cheaper than cigars
For me (and maybe you) it is, but we are not average pipe-exclusiver smokers.

Generally a pipe smoker smokes between 4-8 bowls a day loaded with 3/4g . Cigars smoker generally don't smore more than 1-2 cigars but skewed towards 1, and talking about everyday cigars you find nice handcrafted cigars in the range 4-10$.


> The only way pipe smoking is more expensive is if you're buying $15 tins and chiefing away all day.
15$/50g is average for good pipe tobacco.

The thing is, you can go lower with both cigars and pipes, and to the extreme you can buy sub dollar cigars, but they obviously not very nice.

The difference is that you can go extremely more expensive with cigars, while you can't with pipes. But quality/price speaking, which is subjective but can be measured objectively, a tin for less than ~14$/50g is worse than a 4$ cigar

It should. Xikars (used to) have lifetime warranties, so see if your shop will swap it out. That being said, their old budget xikar flash is fucking junk. Never had more problems with a lighter.

And probably something on the mild side like a Macanudo or a R&J to start. I think one mistake that a lot of first time smokers make is starting with a Cuban cigar and they tend to be on the stronger side.
