true but I think the he didn't say that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Some serious literature to the „cigar is a cigar“ quote.

Tobacco without grabbing for cigarettes and not costing a arm and leg like cigars.
Always wanted to smoke a pipe since I was a little kid. No idea why I was drawn to it. Also variety is the spice of life. It’s great trying different blends and leaves, learning where they’re grown and the processes used to cure them.
Because masturbation can become boring!
People smoke pipes and other things for many reasons, probably. Trying to visualize how it all started, it seems like folks seated around the fire in their cave, hogan, teepee, or other residence liked the smell of the burning wood, and probably threw on the occasional herbs and found them aromatic.
So someone suggested they might smell the aromas better if they drew it from the cloud of smoke above the fire through a reed. After a few generations of that, people figured out they could attach the reed to a little bowl and taste the burning herbs in their mouthes that way, and the pipe was born.
Conversational smoking, ceremonial smoking, after-hunt smoking, and pure recreational smoking followed, by this hypothesis. It could be true.
This isn't why we smoke, but an idea of how we came to smoke. For the why, we enter the recesses of the human mind, as you will.

There, I fixed that for you.
Be careful about seeing pipe smokers (or any other group, for that matter) as a homogeneous monolith. We have less in common than not.
Yes we are individual and unique human beings with many differences...and at least one thing in common.
@woodsroad: The ones I saw back in Chicago in 2015 were truly amazing - never in my life had I seen so many C-Pap machine users in one place. Add in to that the fellow who would not stop burbling into the public address system like some dement huckster selling water melons on Isle 3 today only. The fact he was 'differently' abled was the only thing that saved him from me shoving that microphone up his arse since his voice over came any normal attempts at conversation. I especially love the people who carry pipes that will hold the equivalent of a one pound of sample tobacco and are carved to resemble steam shovel buckets. I know we have a picture of one of those critters somewhere!
Because I can. If I couldn't . . . I wouldn't.
You said it well. I would add nostalgia and connection with the past, both personal and historical.
Because I can't write without one in my jaw! Also, all of the above 
Love the taste of smoke.
Love the smell of smoke.
Love the look of smoke.
I chose pipes over other methods because they are beautiful to me. There are so many different types of pipe tobacco. Pipe tobacco is on the cheaper side compared to others.
I just LOVE pipes man. Love love love them.
