The Average Pipe Smoker

[cosmicfolklore]

We have stopped stressing how important it is that people build up a cellar. These will be the ones bitching a moaning when either their favorite blend is discontinued, or when online sales of all tobacco ceases.
I know, I know, some of you live in garages with no storage space, or live with tyrants of wives who beat you into submission. But, I will be the first to tell your sorry ass to shut up when the bitching and moaning starts up.

To paraphrase a great philosopher : 'Please put your location in your Profile! . How: Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Please specify street address and cellar alarm code'

This is one of those times I'm quite fine with being below average, although a few more pipes would be nice....

I can’t remember if I saw the Pipe Tool website before. You have the Tobacco Certified University logo in your signature like this site, which might make others think you have a relation with this, or is this the Tobacco University‘s website?

No way in hell are these numbers even in the same galaxy as the average pipe smoker. Maybe the average person on this forum owns 57 pipes, but certainly not the average pipe smoker.
