    Smoking a pipe vs cigarettes or cigars

    Myself, I smoked cigs for years and I loved them! Back then, you could smoke 'em anywhere and everyone did. Later, it just got to be too much aggravation here in Florida after the "clean indoor air act", and to be honest, I wouldn't have given the pipe a second look if we still had the free...

    Do you remember smoking lounges in High School?

    I remember. They served morning coffee in the lounge too. It was run by the student government association...but you could smoke in ALL the halls! Really cool school.

    JackKnife Plug

    I'm with hessenland, a lot of the appeal has to be the novalty of an American, available (well, sort of available) plug format. That being said, how smart is Mr. Peace to have tapped into such a wellspring of consumer demand?
