Mixers

[Iko]

Just curious, do any of you who are mixing tobacco with your weed not smoke cigarettes ?
Or is it pretty much everyone who smokes mixed joints smokes cigarettes as well ?
Do you add tobacco to your bongs or vapes as well ?
Is one particular tobacco better than another for mixing ?
Any non Europeans mix ?
I am in no way bashing anyone just curious.

Now i have an issue with mixes. I gave up the ciggies 4 years ago but each time i smoke a joint with tobacco i land up smoking ciggies for the rest of the day. Is there any alternative to this or is it just straight joints the only way?

Tobacco in bongs is plain wrong. There was a small grp at Uni that did this and i was always tutting away at them for it. The amount of lung problems they had was awful. One guy didnt stop coughing for about 30mins cause of lung infection. He changed to only smoking premium weeds and hash afterwards. The others carried on and really looked rough.

I smoke mixed, and I smoke ciggies too (more than joints)
I don't add baccy to bong/pipe/vape/...
I smoke hand rolled cig, but i always have a pack of industrial ones to put in my joints, because I think it mixes better, usually the brand is camel or winfield (they do 30 packs here in France)

Ya I dont smoke cigarettes but use em i a joint, only a little enuf to keep it lit n burning right. Its personal preference but neva in a bong or vape.

[gixxer]

my joints i smoke mixed, prob %50 each

i smoke bongs/pipes/vapes straight

i smoke about 20cigs a day

[joeuk]

just tobaco in joints a dunna smoke ciggies on there own unless im steaming

[Blackmanray]

Tired smoking pure a couple of times and cant do it just kills me. Has to be rolling baccy in my joints. But when I smoke its ciggies or rolling baccy if I am running out of cash

I never add anything to pipes, bongs vapors or buckets. Has to be straight up.

Once seen a friend of a friend add baccy to his bucket as he had bugger all solid and wanted a better hit. Tried to warn him. He was still coughing an hour later and we were all still laughing. Ah to be young and stupid again

my joints are 70/30 weed/tobacco, i only use tobacco not cigarettes. I smoke 1 hand made cigarette a day, when i first get up in the morning, and about 8 joints a day.

Thanks for bringing this up as I am a bit of an anomaly amongst my fellow tokers and friends as all those that toke do smoke.
I don’t and never have (other than to try it) smoked cigarettes, roll ups, cigars etc – in fact I don’t like the smell or taste at all BUT when I smoke weed or hash in a joint I mix it with tobacco to help keep it together and burning evenly and smooth it down my throat.
It also helps me when hand rolling whilst stoned to keep it all together, if I try it with pure bits of bush the shaky fingers and reduced coordination cause the bloody bits to fly all over the table if I knock it!
As strange as it may seem I really do like my weed smoked this way.
Mix ratio as an estimate 70% herb / 30% tobacco to start off and later on probably more %age herb!
Tobacco brands I have used that are OK for me, Golden Virginia, Drum and blag the odd B&H ciggie from a mate to break up but I am no expert and expect people have to try a few to come up with what suits them.
Bongs, pipes, vapes smoke it neat, hubbly bubbly through iced water, hash under a glass.

Use tobacco but only right near the roach as i am a tight brummie cunt and dont want to waste any, weed in the rest.

I dont smoke cigs and never have, hate the taste, and hate the smell.

[Iko]

VERY interesting, especially Roccy and Kermit.
So you do not like "smokes" but you mix, again no bashing at all , i just find that so strange.
I can taste a single strand of tobacco in a joint and for me it completely overpowers all other tastes and makes it so harsh on my lungs.

I don't smoke cigarettes but I do usually smoke mixed joints. I don't really have anything against cigarettes, they are just far too expensive. Plus, all the people you see with health problems because of them kind of put me off.

[egone]

I usually mix in some tobacco, no matter what I'm smoking out of. Prefer pure joints and bowls tho, but they get too damn expensive around here. Plus, they tend to FUBAR the rest of my day instantly.

30% tobacco / 70% weed more or less. I roast the tobacco if I get my hands on some good tasting hash / strains, but that almost never happens. Sigh...

Smoke 20-40 cigarettes a day, depending on my stress levels.

[Conkers]

If I'm in amsterdam, pure, at home I tend to mix it with a tiny bit of hand rolling tobacco just to help it burn, hate cigarettes.

[Marco]

I smoke maybe 3 cigs a day and have been for ages....for pure pleasure. I can go a month without smoking cigs and not miss a beat. Drives my 2 pack a day Dutch mates nuts.

I find a pinch of tobacco from a Marlboro (maybe 10%) gives the joint a better burn and a tiny taste of tabac that I love. But I simply cannot smoke those 50/50 joints, makes me cough. And no tabac in a bong or vape.

I hate when some people (lol...Americans) give people shit for smoking tobacco in their joints (which was not what Iko meant here, I know). Its a European cultural thing and to each his own, imho.
