I used to smoke pipes all the time in the '70s, but working as a telephone installer/repairman, it was a pain to try and go through the ritual of lighting a pipe and climbing poles. After a while, I only smoked them occasionally in the evening and smoked cigarettes, which were much more convenient.
I need to find my old pipes (I know they're stored somewhere in the house) but I haven't seen them in over 20 years. I have been looking in the Pipe WTS/WTT section, but I don't have a large enough budget right now to start spending on another new hobby. I will get started soon, though - I'd like to have a change of pace from cigars once in a while.
