My "COPD" has gotten much better, seemed to be an infection and not COPD and since I'm not inhaling any smoke things seem to be fine. Right now I'm enjoying some flavorful cheroots from P&C (Perodi Kings and Kentucky Cheeroots) they are quite full flavored and no urge to inhale. No exacerbations either which is quite nice. I am fortunate to still be able to enjoy tobacco and the pipe will come back into play as long as I don't inhale...I can do it. For now I'll stick to the little cigars with a great punch.
