Pipe Smoking Stereotypes by Chuck Stanion

[Zamora]

Fun read. I hate the stereotype of cigars and pipes being for the rich because that makes tax hikes more palatable to the general public. They assume only rich people do those things and will still afford it, all the celebrity cigar smokers in California are probably why cigars are so outrageously priced there. Likewise for all the rich and powerful cigar smokers in London

We have precious few women in the hobby,

There are many of them, they just don't sit around talking about it. The female members once here regularly post pipe photos on Instagram along with many other female pipe and cigar smokers. Many, including my wife find online smoking discussions tiresome, and would just rather show off their collection.

Thinking of pipe smoking as a hobby is well ... most here know my thoughts.

Same.

I'm happy to be corrected on that point.
