Cigarette Newbie

[SirSteve]

When you get more time in you can always diy, seedman sells seeds so you can grow your own. You can get many of the needed chemicals to treat the tobacco at places like Home Depot. Acetone, rat poison, various paint thinners and such. I usually get some roofing tar to help with the bonding process and some naphtha because I like the scent and flavor it adds.

And if you want, the leaves can be used to roll cigars, you don't get the fancy tins or bands this way, but you don't really need them anyway.

Also don't throw away that vaping gear just yet, RBA's can be used as a lighter, just remove the wick from your coil and it becomes a glowing red lighter. For more stubborn lighting problems, putting a drop or two of ejuice on the coils can produce a nice little flame.

Yeah and it stops pesky buggers trying to bum one from you too.

The joy of the "Moob Flap" is that it helps to prevent your cigarettes from drying out.

I know you can do it, OP! Maybe my story will help you:

Cigarettes found me as well. My sister came to visit from the US, and on the way to the airport I was concerned if she would mind me vaping in the car. (Ordinarily, I wouldn't be too concerned about what other people want in my car, but come on, it's my little sister.)

Turns out that she was the one that was concerned, and asked if she could smoke in the car with her "Marlboro". I said sure, and she smoked and I vaped all the way home. A few days later, I tried her "Marlboro", then found one at a local gas station. During her visit, I started googling, and found my way to a smoking blog. A few months after that, I created an account and posted my desparate call for recommendations on an upgrade. I ended up with a cigar.

Now, a year later, those damnable e-cigs are rotting away in a drawer where they belong. Resist the call of the devils PG and VG! Everyone knows that stuff is just antifreeze.

Now, I wouldn't recommend a cigar (and certainly not such complicated additions such as Lamborghinis) to a newbie. I think you're just fine getting your feet wet with Benson and Hedges and a pack of matches. As a matter of fact, instead of wooden matches, you might want to try a cheap cardboard pack of matches until you're sure that smoking is for you. (Get two packets - you always should have a backup.)

Hope this helps!

So pleased that you're off the evil vaping - and thank you - great advice like this is why I love this forum!

I just want to thank everyone for spending so much of their valuable time advising this humble noob about my proposed set-up.

It can be so confusing - but I think I've come up with the perfect solution:

(a) 20 Benson & Hedges
(b) a box of matches

Thanks again,

e-pipeman

Don't forget backups for your backups!

Those gran habanos back on page 2 really aren't THAT big. They just look big in the picture.
I've found they fit nicely in my barn.

 

[RosaJ]

Can someone please tell we if I'm wrapping the coil all wrong?

Can you dry burn it?

OK. You do realise that one cigarette doesn't last very long. They burn quickly - you'll be needing to light another in 5 minutes. But its your choice and as long as you start somewhere.

Remember Folks we are in a FIGHT. big eCig's minions are everywhere. The man who COLLECTS your trash, big eCig. They will rummage through your JUNK to find BUTTS and inform the Government illuminati who will put you on a LIST and you will not be saved COME the rapture.

Don't throw out any cigarette butts, collect them in your house until you have ENOUGH to fill a skip. Members can hire a skip from a CSAA approved vendor at normal RATES. Remember, don't let the Government know who you are, join the CSAA (Cigarette Smokers Association of America) today and join the rest of the smokers the Govenment is unaware of at our annual Smoke Meet at Langley in the beautiful state of Virginia, home of tobacco.

20 cigarettes only last about a day. You should really invest in a carton. Store them in your freezer to keep them fresh. You need, at the very least, twice as many matches as you have cigarettes. Sometimes it takes me three or more to get a cig lit on a windy day. YMMV

Hahaha! ^This...

 

[Whosback]

All this talk about cigs has me remembering my first trip into a tobacconist. I was such a noob. Luckily there was somebody there with a video camera so I can share the memory.

 

[charmschool]

I am sooooooooooooooo excited!!! I just got my new twisted cigars and a Pink Lamborghini!!!!!!!!
I know now what the fanboys are talking about, this set us is top shelf!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to set up a payment plan for the next 30 years but it is totally worth it because now I can get to my nearest brick & mortar in 3 seconds flat! How cool is that!!! Only problem I can see is that everyone will want to steal my set up so I am afraid to take it out of the house now.

He should post them all over the forum, especially in threads that are for for completely different cigarette and cigar brands.

 

[jtpjc]

What are those newfangled "cigarette" contraptions everybody keeps talking about?

 

[Northernshrink]

Thx in advance

 

[jtpjc]

Has the FDA approved them yet? And can you use ehm... herbs in them?

 

[mediocre toker]

I found that there are some side affects to smoking. Including slightly less brain power and some stretching of the skin.
On the upside though i used to be bold as a coot but now I've started to develop hair where there was no hair before.
I'm going up my intake as everybody knows that a hairy man is a virile man, so slightly less brain power will be whekbfkblwwrth becaiuseitll get me moras ladiedsndddddzzzzzzzzzzzzz

No, but I thought I saw another thread with a co-op starting. As a newbie, I suggest you learn to use the search feature - it's your friend. Anyway, I strongly urge you to try my direct nic method. It's safe efficient and only hurts a little. I'm sure the mods are gonna sticky it here shortly.

 

[chellemmm]

I don't know about the Customs rules and such in Canada. There is a CANADIAN forum where I am sure someone can help you. Maybe you need to up your NIC and get off the Lights. Don't drink so much beer and then you will get a better effect and TH.
