Pipers who smoke (or used to smoke) cigars

[BryGuySC]

Pipes and cigars are different beasts.
I don't try to satisfy an urge for one by using the other. They each have their own, unique place.
Enjoy them both!

[T.E.Fox]

Smoke both, like both. Depends on the mood and setting for me, really.

Started with cigars, transitioned to pipes. I mostly smoke my pipe, and cigars are more of a weekend/vacation indulgence. Cigars are also a more social hobby, unless you are fortunate enough to know a few other pipes in your area, I suppose. If I am going to hang out with some friends, I bring the travel humidor and leave the pipe at home.

Started with pipes, added cigars, and still smoke both. In my mind they are two completely separate hobbies that I enjoy in their own time.

I started on cigars and transitioned to pipes. I smoke my pipes way more than cigars, but I'm still a cigar smoker. While I would never call cigars one dimensional, there is a definite flavor profile almost all cigar tobacco has. Cigars taste like cigars. Pipe tobacco offers a very wide range of flavors. Some there is no comparison to be had between them. That and the pipes themselves just struck a cord with me.

^ This. Except for any fascination with pipes. The pipe is a utilitarian thing with me. I'm fine with a grubby old cob 90% of the time.

I started with cigars and picked up a pipe after a year or two.

I still smoke cigars, but smoke pipes more, probably at least 5/1.

It's a time thing mostly. I rarely have an hour and a half to dedicate to a smoke.

I do enjoy cigars very much still, just once a week or so. I usually find time for a bowl every evening.

^ This too. ...but I probably only smoke a cigar once every month or every couple of months. Less yet in the winter. I don't smoke my pipe every day either.

I smoke cigars still to this day and I maintain a ratio of about 2 cigars to 1 bowl. I enjoy smoking cigars in the lounge and occasionally a bowl, but I smoke my pipe exclusively at home. I like the ability to control how much I will be smoking and it is more peaceful by myself with a pipe.

[Horsefeathers]

I smoke both. I've found since I started smoking a pipe I'll go through ebb and flows where it's pipes for a week, then back to cigars, then back to pipes. I'm liking that rotation so far. I suspect I'll lean heavily on the shorter smoke times of a pipe in the winter.

Cigars are also a more social hobby, unless you are fortunate enough to know a few other pipes in your area, I suppose.

That may be why I'm more into pipes; I only smoke at home.

[Haebar]

I started smoking cheap cigars while floating down the Chattahoochee River, then started smoking cheap pipes not much later in High School. I still smoke both; in fact I am now finishing off a cigar in a briar.

That is one thing I haven't ever done. I've never finished off a nub in a pipe.
I wish I had thought of that the other day. I was burning my fingers on a Nub Macchiato it was so good. I should have put it in a pipe and kept smoking.
