Do you use other forms of tobacco?

Just the pipes for me. Years ago I would have smoked a cigar once every couple of years, but today it's just the good ol' pipe.

In the UK, it's the cheapest form of smoking.

As for the non-smoking kind...I've never chewed or tried snuff or snus. I don't really feel any cal to either.

Pipe only. Cigs, chew and dip are all in my past.

I sorta enjoy a light cigar, maybe 2-3 times a year.

As a teenager, I tried a cigarette. I had to take a 2nd puff, to confirm it was a foul as I thought.

I tried chewing tobacco once. That resulted in violent spitting.

I have an occasional cigar.
I enjoy cigars quite a bit.
But I only have them occasionally because I enjoy a pipe so much more.

Used to smoke 2 cigars a day, but that got too expensive. Now, may be 1 every couple months. Pipe is much better.

I enjoy a nice kretek every once in a while.

Kretek are cigarettes made with a blend of tobacco, cloves and other flavors. I still remember the aroma from when I lived in Europe. 

Years ago I smoked cigs and cigars regularly but not much today. The sargent major in my unit got me on to pipes and off cigs back then. I've a friend from Venezuela who get's to Cuba twice a year on business and he brings me a box of Partagas Coronas at Fritmas when  he visits his family here. Since there are just 25 cigars in a box I ration them to maybe 2 a mo. I occasionally have a pack of unfiltered Pall Malls, maybe 2 packs a year. Don't snort or chew as both of those ways are nasty to me. 

Pipes, Cigars and Cloves. I do not inhale the cloves. They contain an oil.

Cloves into oranges? Never heard of that.

Probably the same thing.

Definitely the same cloves.

Still never seen that before in my life.

Pipe, SNUS, and snuff, all in moderation.

So, roadsdiverged, back to the cloves...how do you smoke them? Do you grind them up and do a RYO or put them in a pipe?

Thanks for the explanation. They don't sound terribly great.
