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.

Wait till you start smoking VaPers. Only thing I can get a nic kick from. I can smoke 6 cigars one after another and feel nothing. A couple/few bowls of a VaPer and I'm feelin it somethin bad.

Even though VaPers were originally too sweet for me, now I am addicted to them. I just placed a large order from pipesandcigars.
Here is what I got coming:

Cornell & Diehl Tin - tptcnd37 1 8.94
Purple Cow (2oz.)
Cornell & Diehl Tin - tptcnd04 1 8.94
Bayou Morning Flake (2oz)
Cornell & Diehl Tin - tptcnd953 1 8.94
First Responders Pipe
Tobacco (2oz)
Cornell & Diehl "Pirate bptcnd02 4 2.35
Kake" (bulk)
Dunhill Tin - Night Cap / tptdun10 1 8.50
Nightcap (50g)
Corn Cob Diplomat mmcc3 2 8.25
Straight Pipe
Dunhill Tin - Mixture 965 tptdun09 1 8.50
(50g)

Cornell & Diehl Tin - tptcnd91(b/o x1) 0 8.94
Exhausted Rooster (2oz)
Hearth & Home Virginia tpthnh629 1 14.95
Spice 8oz tin

This order started out as just wanting more Virginia Spice and to try a couple of different tins but I got carried away.

Edit: to actually say something that has to do with why I quoted you. I still get a Nic hit from cigars but with a pipe I can just start smoking a bowl of whatever blend I feel like at lunch and when the N starts to come on I'll just put it away for later. The amazing thing is a pipe will still taste good later where as a cigar will be a nasty stale mess if you try to finish one later.
