Just A Pipe

[justanotherdude]

In the latter half of my 50's and have smoked A cigarette and A cigar before picking up the pipe. Can't stand the smell of cigarettes and most cigars. Now I just need to figure out what the h@## I'm doing. :D

It takes time, and fortunately, lots of practice. Assuming you're enjoying yourself, keep at it!

Smoked nothing but pipes since 1978. When you start with the best why try the rest?

Started with cigars, took a gander at cigarettes and was not impressed - transition to pipes was all too easy.

When I first smoked a pipe I'd never smoked a cigarette, and I still never have. I would consider smoking a cigarette in my pipe & gladly smoke rolling tobacco in it, but I don't have access to any cigarettes worth trying that with & cigarettes are prohibitively expensive anyway. I would maybe do it with those Eastern Bloc papirosi cigarettes to get the Joe Stalin experience, but we don't have those in my country. Apart from smoking a pipe I also smoke cigars (Italian, Dutch, Cuban, Nicaraguan etc) and take nasal snuff on a regular basis. I've chewed tobacco (specifically ropes/twists) but I've never felt it's worth it and I don't like spitting. I'd rather just smoke it, so if someone gave me American-style redman tobacco I'd chew a bit then try to smoke the rest.
So about 70% of the time I smoke a pipe, 20% cigars (mostly Dutch) and 10% snuff.
