This is true but why do you suppose that is?

Re: Public smoking is rare
I love to smoke in a Huddle House or Waffle House with a cup o' coffee myself.. my pipe or cigar just seems to enjoy drowning out the wimpy cigarettes.. cigarettes have no flavor to me... never understood everybody smoking the tasteless things...

It's the required set-up time involved. People are too hectic and in a hurry today, so the time taken to load and fire up a pipe seems like wasted time to some. For me it would be having to carry around all the things involved... I can put a cigar in a tube a lot more easily...

Pipe smoking does take some dedication, but the set up time isn't too bad once you get proficient at it.

As a pipe noob, I found it took more time than I wanted to devote. I switched to cigars because I thought they would be less maintenance. As a non-cigarette smoker, I didn't have much of a concept of ash management. After dropping ash all the time on myself and my car and my chair, I figured it wasn't so easy.

Pipes are a little more daunting and I think take more finess to get the experience desired than cigars seemed to. At least thats my .02.

I'm at the point now that I can pack and light a pipe quicker than I can cut a stogie and torch it! Still, even though putting a cigar in a tube is easy enough, still have to either precut before you leave and risk wrapper coming loose, or you have to carry the cutter and lighter with you. With a pipe, preload, tamp using either a finger or nail which both fit great in your pocket, and a small soft flame butane. Easy as load, light, enjoy!

Re: Public smoking is rare
If my dismal attempts at securing pipes via Ebay is any indication, pipe smoking is on the increase - with a bullet! Either there are many more pipe smokers than there were a decade ago, or the people that do smoke pipes are seriously into collecting.

I win about one bid in 10 these days.

Re: Public smoking is rare
A couple weeks ago I decided to go out and drink some brews at a local pub. I also brought my pipe and smoked it out on the patio and everyone seemed to like it. OVerall a great experience

Re: Public smoking is rare
I've only seen this in very rare circumstances. Never a cigar though, sadly. The only time I saw a man smoke a pipe: i was driving out to pick up my girlfriend, and there was some construction, basic curb and gutter stuff. This guy was turned around back facing me, I looked away, then looked back, and he had turned around and was puffing his pipe!

I wish i would have stopped to greet him...

Lots of my friends smoke cigarettes, and I'll step out to smoke a pipe when they they all go out to have a cigarette. They huddle around and smoke their cigarettes like junkies shooting up, and I'm looking for a comfortable place to sit, because while they're done in minutes I'll be out there for an hour.


I was walking downtown by the river in the spring and I came across two men in their early twenties smoking pipes - and one was a churchwarden! I was happily shocked and suddenly wished I had a pipe on me. They were both very new to pipes and sharing a packet of drugstore brand, but I could have begun a local club right then and there. Damn shame I didn't have one of my Stanwells and tin of Westminster or Fillmore on me.

Re: Public smoking is rare
I don't see as many people smoking cigars or pipes as much as I did years ago when it was ok to smoke outside. There are so many hostile people around today that pulling out a cigar almost makes people shriek. The ridiculous thing is that cigars aren't even allowed in cigar bars or cigar B&M's which doesn't make sense to me at all. I'm sure in the next year or so it will be difficult at best to even buy cigars much less find a place to smoke them. Makes me cringe!

It's the nicotine that keeps them smoking these things. I used to smoke them years ago and tried quite a few brands but there is not taste at all and it's just a habit you get into and then the tobacco takes over.

I love pipes as well but with my TMJ that pretty much lets me out of the habit as I used to smoke one years ago and love pipe tobacco. Wish I didn't bit on the stem like I do,,wonder if there is such a thing as a bite proof rubber stem that takes the pressure off the jawline?

Aint't this the truth. It's a hurry up world and this rings true for cigar smokers as well,,,robustos or 'Nub' size cigars are short enough to smoke for about a half hour. I love churchill size cigars and taking my time and enjoying a good cigar,,,no rush or having people coming in to break up the time I enjoy.
