This may not apply in Alaska, but here in Michigan we can get some fairly hot and humid summer days. If I’m going to be outside and it’s 90 degrees/90 % RH, I’ll take a cigar every time.The Tobacco Pipe is a dog shit nicotine delivery system that is harder to master than any other, with pretty subtle flavor nuances once you do. Not surprising at all that the vast majority prefer the simplicity of a cigar. Hell, sometimes I do myself.
