What makes a good smoke?


<- This WayBack One Step

A good pipe is one that smokes easy and does not burn your tongue. For the cigarette smoker (over 18,000 of which The Gatlin-Burlier has helped to quit), the right tobacco means it can be inhaled and "tastes like tobacco" (not cherries).

What makes a bad smoke?

The reason a pipe burns your tongue is that the heat from the smoke is coming down the stem to your mouth and not going through the walls of the pipe as it should. A good pipe means the heat goes through the wall and away from the smoker...a bad pipe burns your mouth. The difference is in the age-quality of the wood. The Drier The Briar The More Good Pipes You'll Acquire.

Why pipe tobacco over cigarettes?

The right tobacco means that it tastes like natural tobacco each time you relight. Cigarettes taste nasty when you relight them because you are tasting all the burned chemicals that, when cooled, have turned into yet more chemicals. Over 4000 chemicals and compounds are created from burning the stuff in cigarettes. Many of these compounds are not found when burning native leaf tobacco. Maybe that is why your Grandparents where able to out-smoke and out-live the smoker of today. To paraphrase the "Buick" advertisement, "Baby this isn't your Grandfather's cigarette." Maybe as the cigarette "got safer" (lower Tar and Nicotine) the amount of other bad stuff increased. The Right Tobacco Is Leaf Tobacco - Not "Where's The Beef" Tobacco.
