Ever Consider Being a Switch-Hitter?

[Tobias Lutz]

I wanted to wish all you guys a Happy IPSD!



There are many tobacco hobbyists who enjoy expanding their interests beyond just cigars and so they branch out into pipe smoking. If you have never tried a pipe and are curious, or maybe you're interested in learning how you can test the waters with a cheap cob (>$10) and some samples, come visit us on the Pipe Side of Cigar Bum. We've got a growing community, and we're always looking to indoctrinate more pipers

Funny you should mention that, Mr. Lutz. Made a trade this week for a Bamboo Egg and some paraphernalia. Have no clue what I'm doing but I'm having fun doing it. I will be leaning on you pipers until I get my sea legs.

Absolutely. Come on over.

I was a cigar only smoker for a couple of years before trying a pipe. During this cold weather, I've been smoking a pipe more often. When it gets warmer, I'll probably be about 50/50. Pipes are a great part of the hobby.

If you're other half gives you hell about it you can always tell her that a bowl of good pipe baccy is a lot cheaper than a good cigar.

The break in period on this one has been a bitch. 23 years and she's still got some bite.

Not exactly what I expected when I clicked on the thread

But yes, I'll second the motion to dip your toe into the pipe world. It's not pricy to get started, and I bet it'll grow on you! I enjoy the art and ritual immensely, even though I'm far from an expert.

[Branzig]

I mean...I hate them....

Nice start! The pipe is very attractive, the blends are tasty, and that black Zippo pipe lighter was the very first one I bought 15 years ago with my first pipe. (I have 3 now- they work great)

Next time you're in Nashville I'll let you pop my cherry . I know zero about pipes but wouldn't mind learning.

Love the C.S. Lewis quote btw.
