Watched and old movie today and the main character was a pipe smoker. I can't recall the last time I saw somebody smoking a pipe.

When I was 18 and could just buy tobacco I did for a while. Would go to a little place here in town called davis's smoke shop. All 100% tobacco. They had a very dark blend that was super smooth, and SMELLED INCREDIBLE! called captains choice.

The thing with pipe tobacco is if it is of good quality it has a very very pleasant sweet scent unlike cigarettes. It is also sweet like a cigar that had been dipped in cognac.

My grandpa did. All his shirts had little burn holes in the back because he'd smoke it while riding his motorcycle and the embers would blow out and hit his back

A childhood friend's dad did. That was in the 80's, and I don't think I've known anyone since who was a regular pipe smoker.

I smoked a pipe off and on 40-45 years ago and enjoyed it. I accumulated a nice collection. My father was a pipe smoker, too. I enjoyed using different tobaccos with different aromas. The only real setback to pipe smoking is having to lug all the paraphernalia needed to smoke and maintain it (multiple pipes, tobacco, filters cases, etc.).

ummm, as long as you refer to it like that in the “tobacco shop” you will be fine.

I know one guy. He’s one of those ironic hipster types. Almost like he learned how to be a hipster from a magazine.

I've been smoking a pipe for a couple years now. I love cigars but they are an expensive hobby.

I don't really smoke aromatics any more. Most don't taste the same as they smell.

I try to mix it up each day. My favorite blend was Frog Morton Cellar (RIP).

Now I mainly smoke Dunhill Nightcap or some other Latakia like Plum Pudding Reserve or some Virginia/Periques like Escudo Navy Deluxe.

There's definitely a steep learning curve to smoking a pipe and keeping it lit while not torching the tobacco. I've found aromatics are very difficult to keep lit because of the moisture.
