Do any of you gents smoke a pipe? I have always found the smell of someone's pipe to be intoxicating (I'm not sure I've ever smelled what would be considered "foul" pipe tobacco). On the rare occasion that I happen to be in close proximity to a gentleman's pipe, I find myself breathing deeply, sometimes even going as far as following someone
just to be downwind of the pipe smoke!
I'm interested in pipes and pipe tobacco, but just not sure where to start. I'm not a smoker - I can't stand the smell of cigarettes. Cigars can be nauseating to smell, but a pleasure to smoke every now and then. But pipes ..... pipe tobacco seems to be in a category by itself - I actually find it quite pleasurable to be around.
So, I'm just wondering if any of you smoke a pipe ... how often ... what kind of tobacco you like ... etc.
If one is interested in an occasional smoke, where does one start in finding out about the different pipes that are available and the different pipe tobaccos ??
Any comments, stories, suggestions, references, etc, would be really appreciated!
Thanks guys!
