I was a cigarette smoker up until a few months ago . I have not looked back since quitting. Sadly without even knowing it cigarettes distorted my perception and limited my ability to experience and enjoy tobacco.
Before smoking a pipe and while I was still smoking cigarettes I would smoke cigars . But sadly as a cigarette smoker my mindset was to smoke the cigar like a cigarette but without inhaling. Little did I know at the time , there was so much more to it .
Since learning how to smoke a pipe and to truly enjoy the tastes and relaxing nature of the ritual I applied the same techniques to my cigar smoking. What a noticeable difference! Again , the flavours of the tobacco really hit all the notes .
I am being to think that the one tobacco product most often used , cigarettes , are actually the furthest thing away from what smoking can be .it would also seem that the negativity surrounding cigarettes influences policies in a negative way when it comes to pipe tobacco and cigars . As a person who enjoys tobacco how can we change the narrative and insist on a distinction being made between cigarette smoking and tobacco in general?
