[QUOTE="SingleMalt, post: 161241, member: 1812"] I know EXACTLY what you mean. I've gone to almost all the cigar lounges in my area (there aren't any PIPE lounges, ofc). The one I went to most recently had the biggest selection of pipe stuff so far, and it was pathetic. Six big yellowed cylinders of cheap "house blend" sticky aromatics, and a few tins of Sutliff ("Great Outdoors") and House of Windsor ("Bourbon Street"), marked waaaay up. I guess you're an aficionado if you're looking at TINS of anything... So at those places, I just buy a cheap cigar, maybe a beer, and ask if I can smoke my pipe. Most of them think of it as a novelty, so they're cool with it. I figure the more people smoke pipes in public, maybe the more it'll catch on. I try to do my part to rekindle interest in pipe smoking. It'd be great if I had some people to share my new hobby with. I usually get a lot of questions, like what am I smoking, what kind of pipe is that, etc. I try not to sound like a snob. I've even bought some corncobs and handed them out to cigar-smoking friends with a mixed sampler of tobacco to get them to give it a try. So far, I've gotten some goodwill but no converts. It helps that I also smoke cigars with them, so we have some common interests already. :D [/QUOTE]
