    Smoking a pipe vs cigarettes or cigars

    I love smoking my pipe, and enjoy a good cigar. But I have NEVER liked cigarettes. They just taste disgusting to me. What struck me are some advantages smoking a pipe has over cigarettes: (1) A pipe bowl is a much tastier, lasts longer, and is sweeter smoke than a cigarette (2) Smoking a pipe...

    Any female pipe smokers out there?

    As an increasing number of women have taken to cigar smoking in recent years- i'm curious if there are many women who smoke pipes. i'll be honest- i have never seen a woman in person smoke a pipe.

    How do others react to your pipe?

    The feeddback from others regarding my pipe has been fairly positive, but of course my folks want me to quit today. Some friends like my pipe quite a bit, remarking how nice it smells- I never blow smoke in people's faces, as cigarette smokers often do- so have seldom been bashed by anti smoking...
