Howdy from Ohio ?

[DakotaHale]

I've been smoking pipes for a little bit over 6 months now, however, I've been smoking cigars ever since a trip to the Caribbean back in 2018, where I was introduced to them. I switched to pipe tobacco because of the depth of flavor that I found, and also because of the price point (though ironically, I've spent more on pipes and tobacco than cigars).

My favorite blends are Planta Presbyterian, C&D Opening Night, and Boswell's Piper's Pleasure when I want an aromatic.

I have recently quit my job and am now pursuing self-employment, using pipes as a tool of thought, stress-deescalation and meditation.

mind if I ask what kind of employment are you hiring yourself for?
Also I have to say I Agree strongly about the price point factor. Especially when you consider it's easier to spend a few bucks on lots pleasure then drop more for less.

Just like investing in a new business there are startup costs associated with pipe smoking, however, over time the costs even out and you’ll save money plus have a collection of pipes that you’ll enjoy for a lifetime.
Best of luck on your new business, there is no greater work related thrill than being on your own and working without a net.
Hello and welcome from Seattle Washington.
