Sometimes I wish we were neighbors so that you could toss all of the pipes, tobacco, and cigars you don’t want anymore over the fence into my backyard instead of into the trash.
Coincidence?

Yep,
I just thought we could be adults and have a cigar. I didn't think I needed to grill him on his preferences.
Seriously, it's not even about the cigar, or the money, or.....the cigar.
Either don't accept it, or puff on the damn thing for awhile......in my opinion.

I've seen him cut beautiful pipes in half, use Dunhills as flower pots, and confess to throwing away all kinds of pipes.
It's been stressful.. I try to tell myself it's none of my business, but It's been tough.
I know…I know…
No, I just let him know it was a good cigar and it's even better with 15 years on it.
I am anything but a "elitist smoker", as I sit here smoking MacB Va#1 in a corn cob.
And I'm sure not going to quit something I enjoy because of others words, that's just silly.
I do not make emotional decisions over goofy things like tobacco.
Worse than elitist smokers are smokers who believe THEY are elite because they aren't elite.
It's often asked by new pipers if they will be looked down on by guys who smoke the handmade $1000 pipes.
I tell them that in my experience, it's almost always the opposite.
It's the inexpensive basket pipe and cob smokers who look down on the high end smokers.
I see it all the time.
Someone asks if a $1000 pipe is worth it. Without fail many respond with "my $40 pipe smokes every bit as good as that $1000 pipe!"
Which may be true, but how would someone know without smoking both?
Just for clarity, I'm the basket pipe and cob smoker.

My brother bought me a handful of cigars for my birthday last year. He is not a cigar guy and went on the recommendations of the cute young lady behind the counter at the smoke shop. One of the cigars was an Acid and the others were good cigars that I had tried before. We were sitting around the fire pit and I chose the Acid since I never had one and heard great things about them. I unwrapped it and cut it. When I stuck it in my mouth I got an overwhelming perfume taste/smell. Well I was committed because my brother and cousin were sitting there so I lit it up hoping it would get better. I kept thinking the cute young lady at the vape shop must know what she is talking about so I kept puffing. Well, it didn’t get better and I and choked it half way out of respect for my brother. When I stopped l think I told him I was getting a nic hit or something and couldn’t continue. My lips were burning and my mouth was ghosted. I then proceeded to the bathroom to wash out my mouth. Sometimes you have to take one for the team.
My brother once told me that he looooved sushi, so I took him to one of the best sushi bars in Portland for dinner. He ordered nothing but California rolls, while I gorged myself on the excellent sashimi and hand rolls. His loss, though he did save me quite a bit by not ordering anything other than the basic bitch Cali roll…
