Pipers who smoke (or used to smoke) cigars

[Cool Breeze]

I can smoke a pipe for several days for the price of one cigar.

This is definitely a plus. As a family man and also a full time student on a budget, this is huge.
I can smoke mid range cigars, but my favorites are on the expensive side. In my current situation I don't get to smoke many Ligas, Padron 64s or Anejos. However my favorite pipe tobacco is very much within my reach on a daily basis. My favorite (at the moment anyway), Full Virginia Flake is only $11 a tin or $30 for 250g. I can smoke a lot of FVF for the price of a couple of my favorite cigars.
