I started smoking pipes and cigars on my 18th birthday but realized very quickly that I like pipes better. My collection started with 5 pipes from my grandfather and has expanded considerably, as has my experience with different tobaccos. I plan to continue this wonderful hobby well into old age or when it becomes cost/health prohibitive.
