How many of you pipe smokers prefer to drive a car with a manual transmission? I started thinking that the nature of pipe smoking vs cigar or cigarette smoking is akin to the difference between a straight drive and an automatic.
Folks who prefer a manual like the feeling of being in touch with their vehicle. They like the added control the stick provides. The driving be comes a whole experience, not just a way to get from A to B.
To smoke a pipe you have to be willing to take responsibility and control for your smoking experience. YOU take charge in selecting just the right tobacco to match the pipe, fill it just the way you like it, and control the burn to provide the best possible smoke.
Cigarette smokers in particular are likely to just see the ciggie as just a nicotine delivery device, getting them (metaphorically) from point A to B.
Am I on to something here? Who likes the stick vs automatic tranny?
