I started with a pipe four years ago when I was 18. I smoked cigars a little after that but I just couldn't find the same enjoyment as I do with a pipe. Cigars seem to easy to me and once you smoke them they are gone forever, you can smoke a pipe your whole life if you take care of it. The flexibility in pipe tobacco, packing, and smoking methods is great. Flexibility in tobacco is the best not just in taste but in presentation also; there is flakes, ropes, ribbons, cakes, plug. The selection of style, taste, and presentation is fantastic.
