Someone I shall not name (but starts with Hoosier) recommended a certain place to buy decent cigars at auction and now I am in constant hot water with the Mrs for buying cigars one week and then a pipe tobacco order another. The thing I like about cigars is 1) mindless enjoyment 2) prodigious amounts of smoke. I certainly think cigars and pipes both have their place, but as someone else said, pipes are more of a solo, meditative thing for me where cigars are more social (not the smell, the company of others smoking them lol).
