3-questions-take2.mp4

Three general questions:

1. You happen to meet a fellow pipe smoker. Would you feel a closer kinship to him if he has: (a) very similar tastes in pipes as you but drastically different tastes in tobacco; or (b) vice-versa: very different tastes in pipes but very similar tastes in tobacco as you.

i frogot to metnipn I did start with pipe smoking right away

[PipeKorea]

Closer I feel to persons with the same tobacco taste, no infuence on names or tins-taste rules, no preference on the nicotine hits- again taste rules...take care my english/ Balkan taste friend

[SpainPipe]

To me pipes are no more than an instrument for smoking tobacco, so I would be drawn FIRST to the person with similar tobacco tastes. I do enjoy looking at nice pipes though, so it wouldn't detract me from talking about pipe collections either, but tobacco is more important. I would buy tobacco based on recommendation and not on tin art. Finally, I still smoke cigarettes so nicotine hit is not very important as I can get it elsewhere. I do favour stronger tobaccos though.

1. b) the tobacco would peak my interest more as he might know excellent variations. I am a Falcon fan ,seems not many are. 2) Tin art in a store will attract me first, online clever names catch me first. In the end the blend components win out. Though I do not hate any particular leaf types. 3) I smoke cigarettes (still) so nicotine hit is not what I'm after in a pipe, but higher nicotine does slow my cigarette intake. I am addicted to nicotine(bows head, a little ashamed) :-( thanks, gregg

Same tobacco tastes always sparks good conversation. Name is not important but if it has an ingredient in it, will peak interest. I don't like the spins but if it tastes good I will try to prep for the experience. That pipe looks so much like an Ascorti.

I guess tobacco is a broader topic, so I would feel a closer kinship to someone who happened to enjoy the same style.

Blend name is almost irrelevant (although it could be a deal breaker if really distastefull) while good tin art is a welcome plus, but not decisive.

I'm still a cigarette smoker with preference for stronger tobaccos - not necessarily for the nicotine hit (which, even in the stronger blends, is not much... different stuff when comparing to cigarettes - all new topic there).

Cheers
