    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

      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.

          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.

          The worst thing will be buying good tobbacco.
