LMAO ya silly 'ol bugger (I can say that, I'm one too) - that was in the days before this country was screwed by our lunatic politicians, religious zealots, when "men were men and the sheep were nervous!!!" Maybe we did have decent baccy way back when, before the Govt. decided to tax it & alcohol so heavily they could afford to give us all free health care for anything & everything.
I'm 52yo now, am incredibly worldy for the av. Aussie in terms of my past life career and travelling the world etc. and in all those years there's only one person I've ever seen or talked to that smoked a pipe and that was my grandpa (Dr Pat & a single briar). He'd be right proud of me with my collection of fifty twelve pipes and growing by the day.
I honestly reckon it's due to lack of culture over here - you see as much RYO & green stuff as tailor made cigarettes (soon all to be in matching drab green/brown boxes regardless of brand) and the only time cigars, cheap crappy ones at that, come out is when babies are born.

Damn Aussielass, that puts my complaints about Canada in a slightly different perspective.

You listening, USA?
He who would trade his liberty for safety will lose both and deserves neither
