I have a decades long on again, off again relationship with the demon weed*, and have recently discovered the strange art of "smoking" an . I've since given up the flammables altogether, the battery run smoke machine with its flavoured nicotine-laced vapours being both sufficient and pleasant enough to keep them at bay. I appear to be having my cake and eating it, but I'm sure it'll end in tears, and possibly tumours.

How many of you love a good smoke, or are simply hooked? Are you cigar aficionados, social puffing dilettantes or hardened pack-a-day veterans?

Quality home-grown bud only.

I smoke pot and cigars. Mostly pot. Pretty much top-shelf exclusively. I don't truck with inferior product. If I am going to tax my lungs like that it should be worth it. And also, since the grades of pot are decided by potency, cheap pot actually isn't cheap because you pretty much have to smoke more of it to get the same buzz.

Tinker, Tinker, Tinker, tsk -- tsk: you don't do the dope, the dope does you.


I usually find around tax time, a pack of Marlborough Reds in the box is handy. Otherwise it's [preferably] Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Maduro (can you beat that cigar?) on the odd event.

Absolutely nothing. Never tried any of it, ever.

Oh, yeah . . . forgot to say . . I don't inhale . . the pipe or the cigars.

True story . .

Lucky Strikes laced with sticky bud made by MIT grad students.

Corncob pipe, cherry tobacco . Maybe a dozen times a year . Got in a rut a few months back and probably fired it up that many times in two weeks, haven't touched it since .

That should definitely smell skunk.......

Pack a day full flavor smokes. Usually just smoke what is the cheapest which is getting harder to do. So how long do the batteries last? How long does it take to charge them? Have you been without the e-cig and bought a pack to get you through till you get home?

Am off for more than a year now, after 25 years heavy smoking of rolled tobaco. Now trying to run my kilos off, am below 100kg again Used to be a rather good long distance runner and basketball player. But dabody starts to suck approaching 50. Young women though start looking better and better. I'll keep prepping for the 1/2 marathon in september.

I totally forgot that batch of good Cavendish. That's why I was smoking so much there for a while. I have to hold off for a while because I have an insurance physical coming up. How long does tobacco spoor stay susceptible to being picked up by an oral swab test ?

I can see that, but how the hell were you able to breath in the smoke of a cigarillo? I tried it once and I felt like somebody had punched me in the neck and chest. Not something I'd care to repeat.

Not sure I want to see.

Well, I smoked cigarettes back in my youth , meaning around the age of 20. Had to give up the habit when I reached a pack a day because my stomach couldn't take it. Not that I regret quitting.

Now I'm puffing cigarillos a couple of times per month. I'm interested in trying some cigars, but it seems that cigar smoking and Romanian wages don't go well together. Oh, well.
