WHen did you start smoking pipes and why?

The Proprietor of the B&M I frequent smokes a pipe instead of a cigar most of the time he s working because of the constant putting the cigar/pipe down to go help customers. He mentioned that as well as the price of tobacco and what not so I tried it. When I am working I have to sometimes walk away from a smoke sometimes and with a pipe it is sometimes better that relighting a cigar. For commutes I love the pipe. I started with a savinelli about 5 years ago. I truly like the art in creating pipes and the variety of tobacco out there.

Started back in college around 1975 and enjoyed it for a couple of years. Then for no apparent reason I just stopped. This past winter I ran across my old Kaywoodie and decided to rekindle (ha ha) the old past time. I'm glad I did. Back then it was all Capt Black & Borkum Riff. Now I have been sampling all kinds of great blends from my local B&Ms.

So many more to try. And I have picked up quite a few estate pipes to add to the collection.
