living in Okla, you don't see to many folks smoking a pipe, its either a cigarette or cigar. I also smoke cigars and pipes. When I smoke a pipe, people tend to approach me and talk, ask questions.so to me smoking a pipe tends to get people to be more friendly come talk to you. But smoking a cigar, tends to get people to think you are arrogant and mean as hell. But that works on one certain type of women. Pipes bring the nice and elegant women. Cigars bring the type of girl who is seeking someone who has power and knows how to use it. I love my life. When I am relaxing and not thinking of work, I smoke a pipe. At work and while out doing investigations or after helping law enforcement, the cigar is the go to.
