I am not a smoker but once in a blue moon I can convince myself to either go for a cigarillo or a small cigar.
I’l sit outside, which implies this is something I do preferably in the summer months, pour myself a glass of wine, put on some music and just be by myself, existing.
I’ve been mulling about getting a pipe for some years.
I make my best to not bother anyone with my smoke and when buying tobbacco, I buy good, to keep it a ritual of self care and not an addiction.
Working with smokers, I constantly hear them complaining about vapers and vice versa and how tobacco is so expensive.
At an average €4,5 a pack, by the end of the month it adds up to a very round €135. Half of that gets me tobbacco and wine for two years.
I smoke cigars often, tried a pipe a handful of times over the course of a month not too long ago. They’re cool but definitely more work/ritual than a cigar. Personally, it wasn’t for me but I would definitely say to try out a $10 cob pipe and try and get a sample of tobacco! The aroma of the pipe is far better than any other tobacco product and imo it’s a completely different vibe than a cigar
That’s sick af!! Yeah i mean personally if it’s the cost, I would start with the cheap pipe to try it out but i mean I wouldn’t blame you for commiting and going all the way 🤣 i know i did
Funny thing about that particular type of pipe is that the cup is very small and somewhat shallow, so it takes very tobbacco, plus it requires a good degree of dedication to prepare, light and keep.
For two or three pipes a year? Worth it. The ones I’ve seen are less than €30, mostly made from rose root.

+1 respect
+1 moderation

Thank you for the insight!
I’ve been keeping my eye on a pipe similar to the one used by Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings.
It’s all about the ritual.

The worst thing will be buying good tobbacco.
