With cigars and pipes you tend to puff, not smoke. That is, you draw the smoke into your mouth and savor the flavor. Haha, I rhymed. Anyway, that may lead to other health problems, but it can't be anywhere near as destructive on your lungs as cigarettes.

Go to your local cigar/tobacco shop. They will help you through the entire process and then let you hang out and smoke there as well.

Don't get into it. Its a waste of money. $$ for (insert death emoticon here) is not a good trade off. Plus, in your case, its illegal.

Only in America ;)
Not everyone on this forum is from the US.

But don't smoke, it's bad for you.

I smoked a pipe for about 10 years. Started out once in awhile, then once a month, then once a week, then once a day, then about 8-10 bowls everyday. I finally quit last year and I won't ever go back!

I could give you lots a pointers on pipe smoking, like the different types of pipes, the best tobaccos, etc.

Instead I will let you have a look at my teeth after ten years of pipe smoking. I had them fixed after I finally quit. But THIS is what my they looked like. So word to the wise, buddy, DON"T START!

Smoking can do nothing but shorten your life. If you want to stick a few more nails in the coffin, fine. But I would personally find an alternative way of getting high. I personally don't find anything that could significantly damage my health pleasurable.

being involved with politics, I'm sure you're well versed on the benefits of smoking. Huge revenue from taxes and huge savings on state pensions FTW :)

Yeah, that's great, whatever.

smoking a pipe is just gross. my granpa used to smoke one. it was just disgusting. i would rather have someone smoke cigarettes than a pipe. also, dont be suprised if your SO leaves you over this. i mean, smoking is a lifestyle, if she cant deal with it, she will leave.

This thread is so amusing.

I actually looked into getting a nice wooden tobacco pipe a while ago and found that you want to spend in upwards of $100 to get a decent one and at least $50 or so for a crappy one.
I went to a local shop that I buy my cigars from and asked for help. I'm sure you've got some local shops around, just go and ask the guy working there for some help, nobody is going to think you are foolish and at least around here the guys who work at said establishments know more than than I would ever care to know about tobacco in five lifetimes.

Live your own life, for you will die your own death.
