Eh, I won't encourage tobacco use, but I won't discourage it either (unless it's cigarettes or dip......EEEE-YUCK, straight road to cancer and nicotine addiction).

Funny, I like smoking cigars sometimes, and when I did smoke only cigars I only smoked them rarely (like one about every 6 mo.'s or so), since they do cost a good deal.

But, now that I've started smoking a pipe, cigar smoking feels almost cheap in a way. An occasional one is still good, especially when you don't have the time to really carefully load a pipe, but otherwise I think I'll stick with pipe smoking.

Btw, how is it exactly that pipe tobacco has less nicotine content/delivery than cigars, let alone cigarettes and hookahs (I smoked a hookah once, and that was the only time I've ever gotten a tobacco buzz.....didn't care to smoke one again....once again.....the flavoring felt cheap, and only reason to do it rather than drink a similarly flavored soda was for the buzz)? I'm curious to know. Makes for a good argument as to why moderate pipe smoking isn't going to kill me anytime soon or in the future.
