Yeah, right, cigars...next you'll be saying that Upmanns and Romeo y Julietta taste nice. Pshaw! I could buy 500 Bensons for 1 cigar - and you can do more with a Benson. With the cigar you're just paying for the fancy tin.

I don't think I would like to smoke something as big as a cigar. I prefer form factor and something cig like in size. I don't care if it only lasts about 10 mins. You can just get a box of say 20 refills of them.

Ecigalikes won't satisfy if you were a heavy vaper. I recommend at least 100mm as a minimum to start with.

I think I FINALLY found my perfect set-up! I got these Camel menthols that have a thing in the filter that you crush and get EXTRA chemicals to smoke. Anyone know if those are refillable?
did you get the original or the bold? because bold makes everything better....
or marlboro's NXT
love me some smokey treats with a smoldering plastic ball surprise inside

You might want to just start out with some sius.
I just stick a pouch or two up my nose..and I'm good for the day.
None of those batteries, tanks, wicks and wires for me...
I just infuse the Nicotene straight to the blood stream.

Never mind - I was following the instructions from the video that has already been posted in this thread. But he was vaping, so it doesn't really apply to r-cigs. (and plus, I couldn't never get past the 3.5 min mark on his video). Anyone else that needs help like me, watch this:

How to smoke a cigarette.(Inhale)Ep.1 - YouTube

Maybe if I can get this technique down, I won't have to buy a patch.

I'm so ashamed. I've been puffing on B&H menthols for a week and am up to 2 packs a day, but I'm still vaping at least once a day :facepalm:

Hey, don't worry so much about it! Don't be so hard on yourself. We're all different. If 2 PAD don't do it for you, try 2.5 for a while, maybe just on Sundays and Thursdays. Your body will tell you when it has had enough.

We're here to support you every step of the way.

Just don't listen to the snob mob around here that will try to sell you on cigars.

Thanks Maggie! Can't afford those cigars yet anyway. Good thing is that I'm single, so I don't have to worry about a spouse complaining about how much I'm spending on my new habit! This is so expensive!

Maybe instead of upping the number of them I inhale, I should switch to unfiltereds? But I heard you can get some of the tobacco bits in your mouth. Can anyone recommend a good one that doesn't do that?

So I figured I would DIY ALOT! And anyhow I've grown my crops of tobacco and am wondering what is the best way to store it. I live in a small townhouse and would think maybe I should freeze it. Could anyone help me decide the best way to freeze about a ton of this stuff? Uhm, does that mean I need a walk in freezer? If so, I could have a problem. tobacco leave.jpg

They actually look so pretty! Couldn't you use them as curtains on your windows and turn the AC to 30 degrees F?

I just got a pantyhose filter from Fast Tech that you put OVER the body and it totally eliminates the tobacco in the mouth! I am going to re-wick the filter with some undyed/unbleached cotton that I got from Walmart. I don't want to inhale all of the man-made stuff from the pantyhose.

Hey, have you guys heard about the "CONDOM" method of refilling the cigarette papers? I tried the "Taryn Spin" but I got tobacco bits all over the floor.

I've studied this thread and found so many brand suggestions that I went out and bought several of them to try. Problem is that I don't really like most of them. Some are too sweet, some are too woody. Don't get me wrong, I found quite a few that I just can't stop smoking! But what do you all do with your unsmoked partial packs of unwanted cigarettes. Is there like a swap thread here somewhere?

Put them in a drawer and let them steep. If you are a newbie, you may find that you HATE the stuff you LOVE today, later on. You could also PIF to some nasty vaper who is trying to quit. There IS a "classified" section of this forum, but you have to be "verified."

Oooh, I like the curtains idea. Wonder if my SO would go for it? He's so conservative...

But are ya sure ya mean 30 degrees F??? I would think ya meant 30 degrees C? Or are ya freeze-drying? Maybe ya could just leave them in a dark room for a couple of months? Maybe mod your garage?
