To be completely honest it just sounds like he doesn't want to do it?You can still collect pipes and tobaccos just don't inhale
My dad was smoker when in the Navy but the day he got out of the service he quit cold turkey and never looked back. As for pipe smokers I know a couple who quit claiming "doctors orders".
I could use the empty pipe as a fashion accessory, and to point at people when I want to make a point.
And could use an aromatic as a substitute for pot pourri. ?
I think we are going off topic. My fault.

Hello, so did you join this forum before pipe smoking, with the intention of research before committing to the hobby? Fascinating! And welcome.
If so, just don't. Wait until you feel mature enough to do it, or until you just feel like doing it. There's absolutely no need to stress about it. We'll be here when you come back!
I have never had a puff of anything ever.
It's the sort of traditional hobby that appeals to me but at the moment actually starting is a step too far for me.
I feel a bit of an imposter being here on this site but everyone has been very welcoming.
By all means welcome aboard!
Just discussing pipes and tobacco can be pretty interesting.
In grad school a 2 oz packet of bulk, a box of matches and a some pipe cleaners would last me an entire month.
After I got a Setter and got into the habit of puffing on our daily walks did my tobacco budget become, well, substantial.
I regret to say it but I'm pretty sure over 90% of new pipe smokers end up quitting within a few months. Reason; they don't know what they're doing and no one is helping them.
That may be true, but if they come here and ask for help, members are generous in their help.I regret to say it but I'm pretty sure over 90% of new pipe smokers end up quitting within a few months. Reason; they don't know what they're doing and no one is helping them.
every pipe should come with a pamphlet that has this forum and not to listen to sable (at least that one thread about smoking for 1000 years)
Yup, a couple of skeet shooting friends have quit pipes, and switched over to cigars. I guess that's not really quitting though is it?
I took a 2 year leave from pipe smoking when I got heavy into cigars. I picked it back up after I was smoking 3 cigars a day and it was getting crazy expensive. It was shortly after mcclellan's closed up shop and I was heartbroken that I couldn't get my $9 tin of frog Morton and other delicious blends anymore ?. I remember a buddy of mine saying he had tried frog Morton original and not liked it. He let it sit around and dry out and just threw it away and it made me want to slap him LOL
I started pipe smoking in the late '70s and continued until I was assigned to my first submarine in the Navy. I gave it up as there was really no place to sit and enjoy a bowl or any time. Later in my Navy career, I'd have a cigar on the bridge, though these opportunities were few and far between. After I retired I continued smoking cigars, however that got really expensive relative to the enjoyment I was feeling. I re-discovered pipes ~2014 using some of the pipes I had saved from the '70s.
I agree with your reasons. They are valid and easily supported.
There are other things I do which involve risk. For me, with tobacco, I would not want to toy around and get addicted, but that will probably not occur with one or two smokes per week.
In my opinion, for what it's worth.... Most guys who switch from a pipe to cigars do it simply because any moron can take a match and turn a cigar into ash with little effort. Smoking a pipe takes time, patience and skill.
