Pipers who smoke (or used to smoke) cigars

[tmoran]

Started with cigars, transitioned to pipes. I mostly smoke my pipe, and cigars are more of a weekend/vacation indulgence. Cigars are also a more social hobby, unless you are fortunate enough to know a few other pipes in your area, I suppose. If I am going to hang out with some friends, I bring the travel humidor and leave the pipe at home.

That may be why I'm more into pipes; I only smoke at home.

After a very long hiatus from conventional cigarettes, I started doing RYO cigs (several years ago), but then (re)discovered cigars (had dabbled in a few in the 90s) and lost all interest in cigs. Got a "customer appreciation pack" of samples of Lane Limited tobaccos from P&C after purchasing some cigars from them (might have been before the CI merger) and took to them right away. Went much deeper and developed my palate for pipe blends pretty quickly, so in short time pipe tobacco began to eclipse the cigar. Still, I do smoke a lot of cigars, though I have lately favored smaller vitolas. Presently I smoke a pipe several times a day. Mini cigars and cigarillos a couple times a day. Bigger cigars 2-3 times a week. Nasal snuff and snus all day when I'm not smoking.
