    Crap…did it again
    Wrong subgroup
    … sorry

    Maybe I should take up smoking a pipe

    It's a sign.

    A couple things to keep in mind: once you've mastered it you can smoke all week for the price of a good cigar, but it's not the same as a cigar. Each has its own benefits. You'll get a little less flak from the family about the aroma, as a general rule.

    Give it some thought, let us know. I'm sure there are one or two fellows around here who will help you find your way. :)

    Well I am cheap and my wife hates pretty much everything associated with the smell of lit cigars.

    I need another hobby like I need a hole in the head BUT if I were to try a pipe, without going crazy, what would a "starter" kit consist of? I imagine a drug store Corn Cob and some Borkum Riff is as frowned upon as White Owls and Old Dutch Masters cigars.

    Actually, Corn Cobs hold a higher status than you might expect. Not the toy ones at the gas station, but look for a company called Missouri Meerschaum. Borkum Riff or some Captain Black, Sir Walter Raleigh, that's where most of us started. It's a process, like cigars. Go to Smokingpipes.com and on their home page they list starter kits. Don't remember what they consist of, but they're a reputable source for all things pipe related. Highly recommended.

    So, your wife is some kind of Genie? Or a magician of some sort? Able to make unicorns appear at will?

    Happy Birthday!

    @Amos_Umwhat my local b&m gets many ‘unicorns’ in both tobacco and cigars. He sells everything at retail prices. I’ve seen what the prices these things go for on different auction sites so I feel pretty daggum good about the price I paid for these.

    That's awesome. I'm on the Email list for some Margate, but there's 12,406 Chinese guys ahead of me.

    Good luck. I will keep my eyes open for you as well.

    A good cigar and the open road solve most problems.

    I give it a try ever few years, probably about time, again. Cigar prices. :s

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    @ShawnOL not sure if you know or not that you can buy those corks separately and turn any ashtray into a piper ashtray.

    The ashtray and cork (not affixed) came with the stand. I put them away for later use as I have no room for it on my end table.

    Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.

    @Hawks was that the DW from PSD? Very good looking. Need a pic sitting on a falcon chassis packed with some goodness.
