[QUOTE=pugcasso;1045287. . .Cigarettes, cigars and tobacco pipes should be considered differently (typically , cigarettes should be separately pondered from cigars/pipes) . . . I love pipes ..... or any nicely made creation (especially wood, fabric or metal)[/QUOTE]

Ah, a wise man who knows how to control his habits. That's a mark of a gentleman. Starting to smoke a pipe at 39 is nothing like starting to smoke cigarettes at 12! Ha. I am glad to know that we are dealing with a grown man.

I am happy that you can enjoy your pipe, and I wish I could dare to do so. (Borkum Riff was one of my favorites along with a custom apple blend from the local tobacconer.) Again, that's a nice pipe.
