    Went and picked up an ounce of four new tobaccos from Tobacco Cabana today, and my first corn cob pipe. The owner is super cool and knowledgeable. Anyone who takes his dog to work can't be all bad. Showed me all the pipes, even the $300-500 ones I can't afford. He had a great quote:

    Cigarettes are an addiction, cigars are a hobby, pipes are a religion.

    Sounds like a great guy. I hope his B&M does well. We need more folks like that.

    "Pipes are a religion" I love that. Might have to add that to my list of favourite quotes.

    Yeah, it was awesome. I'm going back next Tuesday, I'll be sure to tell him of the responses it got, and ask if he's willing to put it on a T-shirt

    So mote it be. Sound like he is a real naturalist for the pipe smoker.

    If you can't pack it, light it, and smoke it then why do it. It's a dieing art that must be rekindled in all of us as fortold by our forefathers.

    Words to live by for all pipe smokers.

    Pipe smoking is WAY better than religion. Pipe smoking is a uniter of people, a display of superior intellect, and has never caused any wars. It doesn't discriminate against black people, gay people, or women. It doesn't tell you how to behave or threaten you with eternal torture. Most rituals associated with smoking a pipe have actual effects on said smoking. And if you decide to quit smoking your pipe, no one tries to cut your head off.

    I'll grant that it can cost you 10% of your income, though...

    I tend to agree.
