Despite an affinity for a good cigar I started pipe smoking at Pacific Lutheran U (ca 1985). The Old Dutchman, still busy master gardening up in Washington State, smoked a pipe for years. His dad smoked a pipe too. I have great memories of him as a kid letting me fire up his Zippo for his after-dinner smoke. His dad's dad...well, you get it.
Nothing fancy - Captain Black from the corner drug store is just dandy, thanks. The Eco-Wife says she likes it fine too. Reminds her of her granddad.
Kids these days - think they're all that.
Yes, pipe smoking is not really "new", but it is nice to see it back on the rise after 30 years of decline.
People die. There's no way around that, so we need younger people getting into the hobby to keep it alive.
Pipe Smoking has a long history and may be considered "old-fashioned" by some. However, I have come across people, men and women both, of all walks of life, and in many age ranges that enjoy a nice premium pipe smoke.
Thanks to the Wall St. Journal article for making my day!
You are right pipe smoking is really a very bad habit. It’s a very big problem for smoking addictors that they can not live without smoking. It is really very harmful for health. But that problem can not be solved easily. Smoker should smoke the branded cigars of good quality which are of less tobacco. Branded cigars are less harmful for health.
