Pipes
I am curious who on this forum smokes a tobacco pipe. I have become interested and am curious to hear from any experts about their experiences, good and bad. I am doing a lot of due diligence online and youtube.
To me, it is the ritual, slowing down, and a nod to the past that are most appealing. However, of course the health effects concern me, both of the tobacco itself and my wife’s likely reaction :/
Cheers

The link between cancer and smoking is a proven one...
When you meet someone undergoing full on cancer treatment you would never risk the chance of it.

many, including close family members and family friends. Heath conscious, non smokers too. When its time to go, the rest are just the means you are to go. S
I’m sorry to hear that ...
it’s all about minimising your personal risk and that’s why it matters.
That is sound advice, Cpt.
The ironic thing is I am a fitness buff, and have never been interested in tobacco ever, in large part due to the health issues. But I was at Harrods in London last week on vacation, and they had a very enticing pipe shop. Just got me to thinking. Not dis...
Not being a smoker, I don't have personal experience to draw on, but . . .
. . . I do remember being told by a professional sales guy the one type of customer he hates seeing in his shop is a pipe smoker. He'll be talking turkey, then the guy pulls out a pipe, loads it with tobacco, goes thru the whole ritual, and basically take...
