If you don't get it, you'll have more time to work on your bucket list.

You're sixteen, stop worrying about a bucket list and enjoy your life. That being said, you can't legally get pipe tobacco.

Wow...Look at me, I'm 19 and I sound like my father.

Ehh, it's not quite as stupid as Eric Albany's posts, but it is down near that level.

Go on ebay (or any other online store that accepts paypal) and buy some. Have it delivered to a friends house or a post office who will hold it for you until you pick it up.

Protip: You're still a young'un and smoking is bad, mmkay. Wait until you're 19 so you can say "wow, can't believe I wanted to do that."

I lol'd at this. Every kid thinks their neighborhood/highschool is the stoner HQ.

You can get it online I believe. Some people use rolling tobacco, but i'm not too keen on that idea. Alternatively you can just destroy a cigar and smoke that in a pipe, a roundabout way of smoking a cigar, but it works well.

I smoked a pipe occasionally at 16, and still do at 19. Generally I do it about as often as I smoke a cigar, which is probably a couple of times a year. I have quite a romanticised view of smoking a pipe, and I doubt indulging once or twice a year is going to do me much harm.

Here's the short version. Smoking tobacco gives you back the peace of mind that was stolen by the previous dose of nicotine.

Quit while you're ahead and never start. Kids think they're smarter than adults and think they will quit before they get addicted. Truth is they are addicted way before they start to feel any compulsion to smoke. Nicotine is a terrible drug.

OK, I"ll skip the "Why start smoking?" part. So what makes smoking so important that it has to be on your list of accomplishment to be achieved before you die? For me, things like walking through the Great Pyramid of Cheops, snorkeling over the Great Barrier Reef, and just once kissing that stunningly gorgeous brunette I was best friends with in high school but never worked up the cajones to ask out are way up there on my bucket list.

But you want to .... smoke?!?!?!? Jeez, expand your horizons, sonny! I can't imagine how pathetic the rest of your bucket list must be.

Wait til you're 40 before you try the pipe thing. Teenager + Pipe = Douche IMO. At your age, I think hand rolled cigarettes are the way to go.

i don't think anyone's ever looked back on their life while lying on their deathbed and thought, 'I only wish I'd smoked more pipe tobacco' tbh.

Get a new list, homeslice. Your current one is clearly not very clever.



EDIT:

Oh, also, aren't you asking for advice on how to break the law? Isn't that against the rules here?

I started smoking at 11 years old, and by the time I was 20, I was chaining my way through 50 cigarettes a day.

And I was ill, all the time. And broke. Spending around £14 per day on smokes (they were cheaper then than they are now).

Been 2 1/2 years since I quit at the grand old age of 26. I'm a bit fatter as I enjoy my food more, still skint as I spend my money on much cooler things now (bass gear, yay!) and I definitely still miss it when I'm either very stressed or out drinking. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to live longer and be a lot happier through not smoking any more.

If I saw a 16 year old smoking a pipe, I would lmao. When you do get your pipe tobacco, be sure to get a cape, a cane, a monocle, and a houndstooth deerstalker to go with it. That should complete the look.

You need to start a "help me with my bucket list, I'm 16 and have no sense of imagination or adventure" thread.
