It's time I start using my pipes
I have been meaning to start smoking pipes for years. I bought my first pipe about 10 hears ago. When I did, the good people in this group bombed me with pipe tobacco samples. At least 90% of that tobacco is still stored in two large mason jars I bought way back when.
I now have three pipes, a pipe stand, and some other pipe accessories. But when it comes time to smoke I always reach for a cigar. I think I just prefer the way a cigar smokes. But I think the biggest reason is that I'm just too lazy to deal with a pipe. Smoking a cigar is simple. A pipe is more difficult. You have pack it, light it, and smoke it just right. And when that bowl is finished you need to repack it and start all over. I know that after a while it all becomes second nature, but I'm not at that point yet. I've decided that I need start smoking my pipes. So I'm taking the initiative. I generally smoke a cigar 4 days a week - Thursday through Sunday. Well, from now on I'm going to make Thursday "Pipe Night." I either smoke a pipe or I don't smoke at all. I'm hoping this will giver me the motivation to start using and smoking my pipes. Wish me luck.
