Some goodies..

Have you tried really drying out your tobacco? Maybe overnight if it is heavily cased.

I just started smoking a pipe last month to save money vs. cigars. Ha! yeah right.
I have dived head first down this slope.

I like pipes way more than cigars now especially since I can spend $10 on a cigar and have an enjoyable 2 hrs. I can spend $10 on a tin of pipe tobacco and have 20-30 hrs of enjoyable smoking time. There's also the fact I can smoke a pipe in the middle of the day without getting zonked out on vitamin N. Now I only turn to a cigar when I want a big N hit at night or when my buddies pressure me into one.
