I like Spirits because they last forever. I like a long, meditative smoke. I smoked Camels for awhile, but I could smoke five Camel cigs in a row and I would barely feel anything and each cig would last around five minutes. One Spirit can last more than 10 minutes and always does the trick and gets me in the reading zone. Plus I had a coupon for them, what else could I do?

They take some getting used to and adjustment because they won't stay lit on their own the way cigs and cigars will. But once you get the hang of it and break in a pipe, it's nice and becomes second nature. Pipe tobacco is ridiculously inexpensive too compared to cigs.

I am a pseud, I will admit it. But as I said earlier, I've tried a few brands and I like Spirits because they last a long time so you can really sit back and enjoy your smoke. One day I smoked like five Camels in a row and barely got what I would get with one Spirit. Spirits are packed nice and thick and really get the job done.

Weed lowers your IQ and your testosterone. Tobacco is a powerful nootropic and raises your testosterone. Weed is also the drug of the black man. Tobacco is the drug of the white man. I think I know which one I'm going with. I prefer not to be a braindead sissified loser. Also if you're not a teenager, smoking weed is just pathetic. Adults who smoke weed are literally the most puerile losers in existence. It's a drug you do when you're a bored teen having baby's first existential crisis.

Wrong, poor studies using self reported sampling and attempting to denote every death as the result of smoking arrive at such ludacris figures that are blatantly contradicted in almost every other country attempting to honestly replicate them (see the Smokers Paradox of Japan). Tobacco smoking is less harmful than alcohol and even has benefits, like increased focus and cognition. Bertrand Russell famously said that he owed his life TO smoking. You're just some midwit incapable of critical thinking and never questioned anything your entire life.

This study of over 200k Australians shows that 67% of smokers die from smoking-related diseases.
>In this large-scale, population-based Australian study, death rates in current smokers were around three-fold those of people who had never smoked, in both men and women. On average, smokers died around 10 years earlier than non-smokers, over the ages examined. Mortality rates increased substantially with increasing intensity of smoking, with rates approximately doubling in those smoking around 10 cigarettes per day and four- to five-fold those of never-smokers in current smokers of 25 or more cigarettes per day. Cessation of smoking conferred large mortality benefits compared with continuing to smoke. These findings were adjusted for a range of potential confounding factors, including socioeconomic status, alcohol intake, and BMI.

Smoking does nothing for your state of mind. It does nothing to help you focus or think. You will feel "nicotine rush" when you first begin but that is soon got over.

Are you dumb? They controlled for all non-relevant factors. They took two groups of people: smokers and non-smokers. The only difference between the groups was that one smoked and the other did not. This is called isolating the variable. Then they tested and found that the smokers died much earlier than non-smokers. They looked at smokers and found that 67% of them died from what we call "smoking-related diseases", whereas the rate of people who died from "smoking-related diseases" among non-smokers was much lower. This is a sound scientific experiment, and your addiction is throwing you into denial.

I decided to take a break from my "tradlarper" library (as this anon put it >>16075533) as I still need to buy a heap more Guénon, one or two more Coomaraswamy, as well as some Heidegger and Joseph Campbell - in the meantime, I'm returning to my reading of more "profane" metahistories.
I must have started reading the first abridged volume of Toynbee's 'A Study of History' some time in 2018. In spite of the fact that on the surface they are a technically easier read than perennialist and metaphysical texts, and I thoroughly enjoy them, for some reason I have great difficulty in actually motivating myself to read them. I've realised if I read 20 pages a day I'll be able to get this book finished in 2 weeks, so that's my goal at the moment.
For what it's worth, I highly recommend Toynbee's 'A Study of History' to everyone from "tradlarpers" looking for a fantastic framework of the underlying mundane historical picture to many of the expressions of tradition, to worldbuilders who are trying to create compelling, realistic, nuanced and interesting societies, cultures, class structures and empires.
Rather than reading as many pages of this second abridged volume of 'A Study of History' as I can fit in a day, once I hit the target of 20 pages (or to the end of whichever subchapter I'm reading, whichever's longest), my plan is to simultaneously read Pitirim Sorokin's 'Social and Cultural Dynamics', and Joseph Tainter's 'The Collapse of Complex Societies' (I've already made a start on the former, and perhaps should've included it in this photograph).

As for the tobacco, after my last photograph, I stumbled upon this open tin of Balkan Blue from the now defunct McClelland Tobacco Company. This shit is gold, one of my favourite smokes.

A cigarette lasts like 2 seconds and reading should be at least twenty minutes, it's a stupid pairing for people who want to feel like they look cool for a moment in time. Or for chain smokers, who are a joke

A Spirit can last up to around 15 minutes. But yeah, most cigs last like 5 or so minutes. Anyways, I never really smoke when I read unless I'm outside. I like to get a good meal in, have a smoke and get into a nice meditative state and then go read for an hour or so. Repeat that 2-3 times a day.

Same here bro. If I could smoke risk-free, I'd do it all the time. I love it.

It's more enjoyable, in my opinion, when done occasionally. I don't worry too much about the health effects of an occasional cigarette.
I don't find nicotine overly addictive for some reason so there isn't a constant craving.

Whene'er I take my pipe and stuff it
And smoke to pass the time away
My thoughts, as I sit there and puff it,
Dwell on a picture sad and grey:
It teaches me that very like
Am I myself unto my pipe. Like me this pipe, so fragrant burning,
Is made of naught but earthen clay;
To earth I too shall be returning,
And cannot halt my slow decay.
My well used pipe, now cracked and broken,
Of mortal life is but a token.

No stain, the pipe's hue yet doth darken;
It remains white. Thus do I know
That when to death's call I must harken
My body, too, all pale will grow.
To black beneath the sod 'twill turn,
Likewise the pipe, if oft it burn.

Or when the pipe is fairly glowing,
Behold then instantaneously,
The smoke off into thin air going,
'Til naught but ash is left to see.
Man's fame likewise away will burn
And unto dust his body turn.

How oft it happens when one's smoking,
The tamper's missing from it's shelf,
And one goes with one's finger poking
Into the bowl and burns oneself.
If in the pipe such pain doth dwell
How hot must be the pains of Hell!

Thus o'er my pipe in contemplation
Of such things - I can constantly
Indulge in fruitful meditation,
And so, puffing contentedly,
On land, at sea, at home, abroad,
I smoke my pipe and worship God.

Man, I've been smoking for over a year and this has never happened to me. I don't even cough at all. Maybe try switching brands?

Peter Stokkebye 701 Virginia tobacco in my carved briar pipe. I really like its mellow flavor. The tobacconist recommended me other flavors, as it wasnt his favorite, but I'm glad I didnt listen. Haven't been smoking too long. I like to read short poems by Wordsworth, try to memorize them. Anything that doesnt require me to turn a page because my other hand is holding the pipe. I also go to chainlink threads on /biz/. I hope you all have at least 1k link.
