Pipes and Pipe Tobacco

[theclearspot]

I was surfing some sites to look for an old fashioned pipe and discovered a treasure trove of various Pipes some of which i.e Dunhill ones which cost a few thousand pounds each. Then theres Peterson's which are superb aswell.Never believed there was such a vast selection of tobaccos either. I'm an ex-smoker so don't want to get into tobacco and I know its an 'old mans' game but if I wasn't so scared of getting back on the baccy then I would be buying a Pipe or two for Christmas! Anyone indulge...and how do you smoke Pipes ?Is it for fully inhaling etc?
Not sure if this shouldnt be in the 'Hobbies and Interests' section so apols if its in wrong place Mods...

Pipe tobacco is used by a lot of thrifty smokers. It seems to be cheaper than "cigarette" tobacco. Don't know why.

I'm not a baccy smoker myself but was viewing a pipe catalog recently. If I were to make a purchase I tend to be drawn to intricately carved meerschaum pipes.

To inhale or not is by choice and yes... baccy flavors leave tons of choices.

cherry pipe tobacco smells so good ..second would be blueberry...yeehaw..haven't had a good pipe in years...pipe tobacco is sometime put on regular cigarette tobacco here in cal as the TAXES are cheaper..some of it is indeed just relabeled cigarette tobacco...FWIW...a friend owns a smoke shop
