Re: Quittin' Smoking
I was just wondering about snuff because it might be an idea for on planes or long train journeys or anywhere where you can't smoke but you are climbing up the wall because of it. No problems smoking on a hike cos one is outside!

Re: Quittin' Smoking
Many thanks for the pointers! There's a small tobacconist a few miles from me, apart from that I'm having to travel a good distance to get baccy. I don't smoke very often though so it does last me.southeast-isher wrote:I don't have a UK source for C & D baccy Tom but i think if you import one or two 2 oz tins from SmokingPipes.com then this is under the import duty threshold. It's like no baccy i've bought in the UK, but there are lots of different types to try. I have some Kajun Kake at home which is pretty pokey! But you'd have to try a few types depending if you like latakia, burley, black cavendish, stoved red virginia, etc
Sorry to all those quitting for the hijack.

Re: Quittin' Smoking
That's why i bought a tin, for those rare moments - you can get a tin for under a £1 !Millymollymandy wrote:I was just wondering about snuff because it might be an idea for on planes or long train journeys or anywhere where you can't smoke but you are climbing up the wall because of it.

Re: Quittin' Smoking
Probably better off using a less vile form of NRT... There's plenty of options out there.Millymollymandy wrote:I was just wondering about snuff because it might be an idea for on planes or long train journeys or anywhere where you can't smoke but you are climbing up the wall because of it.

I don't think it's so vile gregorach. It was good enough for royalty all those years ago.

That's hardly a ringing endorsement, is it? Puts it in the same basket as incest and fratricide...southeast-isher wrote:It was good enough for royalty all those years ago.

Ah a pious ex-smoker! hehe
Well, there is a Nicorette Nasal Spray... which is in effect the same as snuff but around £20. A months worth of snuff can cost a £1. No i don't have the cahoneys to do it full time but for those rare moments when i am unable to smoke i think snuff can be an option.

Re: Quittin' Smoking
Ah well I've got my tobacco seeds now so from next year I'll just be able to whip out a leaf and have a munch. Where's the spitoon on a plane?

Re: Quittin' Smoking
Yuck, don't chew it - better to go up your nose apparently. BTW, snuff is not for like 30 mins after a cigarette but more like over an hour at least after when you're on the verge of climbing the walls - or you'll give yourself a headache.Millymollymandy wrote:Ah well I've got my tobacco seeds now so from next year I'll just be able to whip out a leaf and have a munch.

As for growing the stuff, get a briar pipe - and stick it straight in once dry... no need to roll a cigarette. Super cheap! Make sure you buy a good variety of tobacco... and its taste is also depending on sun/soil.

Re: Quittin' Smoking
I was joking, I'm not getting into chewing baccy, I'm sure that's more antisocial than smoking it!
What's with this get a pipe business though? Are you male or female? I'm obviously female and I'm not going to start smoking a pipe! Pipe tobacco (the smell of) makes me feel really sick - really sweet and cloying; I don't like cigar smell much either to be honest.

Re: Quittin' Smoking
Depends on your tobacco, MMM. My Dad used to smoke Gold Block in his pipe - deeeeeelicious. My uncle smoked St Bruno

Re: Quittin' Smoking
I am male Molly but i know of plenty of females that smoke a pipe in Europe. It's super cheap once you've bought the pipe... easy to grow your own... and it has such a varied range of tobacco so you'd never get bored... ranging from virginia that will smell like regular tobacco through to many other types. Plus, pipe smokers usually live to a ripe old age! It will save your lungs. I enjoy cigars but yes they stink.
