    Great video! I came to a very similar realization when I started pipe smoking.
    Here are 3 bonus points from me:
    1.) Maintenance: Pipe tobacco is way easier to store than cigars
    2.) Flavor variety: I feel like pipe tobacco generally offers a wider range of experiences blend to blend than cigars
    3.) Room note: I can smoke pipes in the house and everyone loves the smell. Not true with cigars 😅

    I like pipes. They're aesthetic, intellectual and complex. You can pass them on to your children. Tobacco options are infinite, and you can even grow your own tobacco. There's something smart and astute about pipes. I do enjoy cigarillos, but they only offer a quick ten-minute smoke, but the occasional cigar flavor you don't get in pipes is nice. I have six pipes (currently) all crafted by professionals in different countries, no China stuff.

    Love your points on why pipe tobacco is better than cigars! I’d also like to mention:
    -room note with pipe tobacco is better
    -more American brands/blends
    -tobacco cellaring is easier. No need humidifier
    -bulk buys can easily turn into aging/cellaring
    My only issues with pipe tobacco is
    -need more than one pipe for ghosting and if you want multiple bowls in a day (I still smoke one pipe twice if I really want to)
    -ease of transporting pipe, loose tobacco, and tamper compared to cigars

    I've found that in a .75"x1.5" bowl, an once of tobacco gives you 8 to 10 smokes (8.5 average) depending on cut, moisture, etc... One of the most expensive pipe tobaccos here in the U.S. is Capstan, which msrp's at $27.77 per tin, or $15.87 per oz. Or about $1.87 per smoke. My favorite cigar is around $9 a stick, which is about 5 smokes of Capstan. Yeah, pipe smoking is more bang for your buck 🤠

    I smoke both pipes and cigars. I go through phases where I'll prefer Pipes vs. Cigars and Vise versa. I live in Las Vegas, and I don't have a local shop for cigars, so I shop online, and I pay an average of $4 per stick. I have 100 cigar humidor that's full, and I have a cabinet that's full of jarred pipe tobacco. In those jarred tobaccos are 2 blends from Watch City Cigar, Old Dominion, and Ahabs Comfort.
    As a real man, I don't have to pick one. 😂

    Agree with nearly all of your points. However, I often stop smoking partially thru a cigar. I just lightly tamp it out. I always intend to finish the day but have gone two days. I can’t taste much if any degradation in the flavor of the tobacco. I’m am referring to premium cigars. I just cannot waste good Tobacco. I totally enjoy pipes and cigars but find my pipe to be part of my daily ritual.

    Also so many more blends, flavor choices with the pipe. Cigars are all more or less similar flavor profiles. Pipers can choose Virginia, English, burley, aromatic. So much more variety.

    Aye. In England I pay an average of £20 for a 50gram tin or pouch. Depending whether it's Flake or Ribbon cut, the size of my bowl, and how full I want to fill the bowl - I'll get about 25 to 33 bowls from 50 grams of Baccy. Now, if I want a Cigar, a New World that I like will cost me £15 to £25 per Cigar; if I want a Cuban I'm paying £25 to £35 per Cigar.
    I like my Cigars, but I'm a dead-to-rights daily lifestyle Pipe Smoker, on average I smoke 6 bowls a day, and all for 30% ish the cost of single cigar.
    As nice as the Cigar Tobacco is - the range of quality of Pipe tobacco is far superior. All the Cigars I choose to smoke are all in the same taste spectrum. But my Pipe Tobacco that I smoke on the daily: S. Gawith Full Virginia, S. Gawith Balkan Flake, S. Gawith Skiff Mixture are as different from one to the other as Stout and Lager.
    All the best.

    Pipes are vinyl records and cigars are cds. Both offer a great listening experience. One is more hands on and incorporates a lot of outside factors that can make the experience bad or great the other is primarily straightforward. I’m a cd guy 😉.
    I’ve mastered cigar smoking. Pipes are something I love the idea of and have tried but those outside factors? Are too much for my lack of patience
    That and honestly a well aged cigar tobacco masterfully rolled? Too hard to beat
    On a side note the rivalry between the two is honestly pretty big. I personally never understood it.
    The cost is much heavier up front with a pipe. You don’t need 1000 dollar blow fish to start pipe smoking but you still honestly need a good pipe. A cheap one will definitely be frustrating to start with. That being said once you get the pipe that the tobacco is much cheaper and will go longer unless you just buy old rare aged tins.

      @ The rich history, the amount of care and craftsmanship that goes on to cigars, the flavors are more pleasing to my palate. For me pipes are a solitary pleasure while cigars are that as well as a good thing to do with others. I like the simplicity of cut, light and enjoy over the fiddliness of pipes. No rub out, dry pack light tamp relight etc . I can enjoy that sometimes but mostly the simple quality time of cigars is my favorite. All that said, with premium tobacco of both types fighting for its life in the west we really need to support both pursuits even if we only prefer one over the other exclusively.

    Cigars are the opposite of one sided , i do not agree with you point at all here. Yes cigars are only tobacco but its a blend , you have the wrapper which gives it a character then you have the binder that gives you hints of flavors and then you have the filler which provides most of the flavor, but not only that, thanks to masterful craftsmanship and knowledge of cigar making we can enjoy a certain flavor in the first third of the cigar and it evolves to something different in the second third and it comes to a resolution in the final third, and that brings me to the point why you would want to sit and enjoy a whole cigar so you can appreciate the changes in notes and flavors, but you can definitely leave a cigar out and come back and re lite it , i do it all the time without any issue , same as with pipe.
