Pipe smokers in the gang?

(1/4) > >>

sailor61:
Was an off and on cigarette smoker for ages though rarely heavily. Shook it the last time about 3 years back and I missed it fiercely.  This time, as I felt myself slipping back towards them, decided to give a pipe a try - and I'm really enjoying it.  Find that one or two moderate bowls are ample for me in the evening.  I'm not kidding myself there are risks with a pipe as there are with any form of tobacco but it seems as if it is a marginally better method, especially since I'm ableot hold my consumption down.  Plus cigarettes here are now in the viciinity of 8 bucks/pack so a pipe is much cheaper once youget past the hardware.  And then there is that whole new area of "stuff" to search for....pipes, 100s of blends of 'baccie, lighters, pouches, rolls,tools....

Come on guys - fess up your bad habits.

Personally I've always preferred pipe or cigars to cigarettes, since they taste and smell better and also seem more relaxing.

I'm a cigarette man. Always will be because I like it. It would really take a heavy blow to get me to stop and if it was that bad I'd probably say "what the hell" and keep on. But I must say that pipes are way classier than cigarettes and they smell way better, too. But, on the downside, I remember either reading or hearing that pipes have a far greater incidence of lip/mouth cancer because the smoke is so much more concentrated and because of the drip from the stem if the tobacco isn't packed just exactly right or has a wet heel or you draw too fast or..........
That's why I smoke cigarettes.

I tried a pipe at a point in my life when I thought smoking one would make me look more professorial. Big Mistake. Fires were set, tobacco ash floated everywhere,  would forget to put the bowl up when lighting....and while it did make me look something, it wasn't something good. Back to cigarettes for about 3o years until I gave up smoking altogether.

Chavster:
Well I dont smoke every day, but when I do, I'm a cigar man. On the very rare occasion I've smoked a pipe, I've felt like one of those little old grandmas in West Virginia, sitting on her porch, strumming her banjo while smoking one of those little corn cob pipes you can buy in Walgreens for about 93c.

Someone did actually buy me a pipe as a Christmas gift in December, although I really have no idea why.
