This is for my dad. He's had a rough time the past few years with a few seizures, strokes and Alzheimer's. His main interest is smoking but he has burned his way through his Briarwood pipes, can't roll his own smokes anymore and smokes the cigarettes we ration him like a speedrunner who can't wait to smoke the filter.
The past few weeks his entire being has been focused on getting a pipe. The possibility of fobbing him off has reached zero so I have ordered a few cheap corncobs.
Before I buy him some pipe tobacco I was wondering if there is something herbal I can give him which might bear some resemblance to tobacco - the plan being he can have a pipe of herbal stuff in the living room with my mum whilst watching a movie instead of having to sit outside himself chaining on a pipe until it is burned out.
First thought is marshmallow leaf which I can get locally but it's bright green.....we may well get away with this but I'm curious about options.
Is there such a thing as pipe tobacco substitute?
