I've been smoking a pipe for about 8 months now. Never smoked anything else. I just have a modest little corncob pipe, got it for 4 bucks. This is the best thing about pipe smoking - it costs me about 2 dollars a week. I usually buy Captain Black royal, white or black. 6 dollars a pouch. Pouches usually last me between 3 and 5 weeks, depending on how much I smoke. Filters are 2 dollars for three boxes of 20, each filter lasting for about 5 smokes. Not only that, but specialty tobacco is incredibly cheap, too. 8 dollars a bag for Frog, Virginian Vine and Louisiana Bayoo tobaccos. Most I've seen it is at 15 dollars for a pouch, and even that's gads cheaper than cigarettes. Not to say cigs are bad, they're just not my thing, and pipes are just that much cheaper. I love smoking my pipe. I smoke it for the same reason I drink: it just tastes so damn good. I make it a point to not smoke when I'm stressed, and I don't know what a nicotine rush is. Don't care, either. I just sit on my porch for about half an hour each night and puff away. I love my pipe.
