In 1969 when I was 12 I began smoking Tijuana Smalls and Wolf Brothers Rum soaked Crooks. I quickly took up cigarettes that year and have been smoking something ever since. I started the pipe in 2000 while I was a big cigar smoker.
10 or 11, going into the store and asking for Lucky Strikes "for my dad and he said not to forget the matches."
Quit cigs in my late twenties. Started the pipe at the end of high school, cigars a couple years later. Been on and off since.
