I am enjoying a nice Borkom Riff tobacco and a snort of basil hayden kentucky straight bourbon wiskkey. Just wondering who else likes the old school smoke? Not too many here , I think?
Cheers,
Tom

I had a boss once tell me never hire a man who smokes a pipe. They're either cleaning it, loading it, or trying to light it, and never have time to work
That Rz is a real dirty bird. But I like it! I bet it smells nice too.I'm just young enough, that I never used any tobacco.
The public awareness campaigns were just rolling out, they musta got to me. Mom, Dad & 3 older siblings all smoked. And I remember Dad's Borkum Riff.
But yesterday afternoon...

I did feel like smoking a pipe.
That was first start after winter layup, fogging oil to boot.That Rz is a real dirty bird. But I like it! I bet it smells nice too.
Gretta T. would frown.
that was a good rant. I just do it occasionally. Like a good Cigar on special occasions.I've gotten a good look at mouth and esophageal cancer up close. I grew up in a house of smokers and was addicted to nicotine for far too many years. My dad (and mom) were WWII vets and always smoking tobacco including a pipe for my dad.
Lung cancer took my father and little sister, both long term smokers.
My respiratory system has taken a serious pounding over the years via exhaust gasses, tobacco, marijuana, and some of my early years as a firefighter inhaling some hideous $hit.
Quitting cigarettes was by far the most difficult task I ever took on and that includes 47 years of marriage.
To each their own, your lungs are your own, but public tax dollars should not have to pay for your medical care because one indulges in nicotine addiction/smoking as pleasurable pass time.
Take a hard look at that black goo coming out of the stem of your pipe and into your mouth.
RANT OVER.
