Pipes VS Cigars

[@ethanhilton915]

As a pipe smoker, a pipe maker, and a cigar enthusiast, this couldn't have been more pleasant. I've always summed up the difference for myself between a cigar and a pipe as this; a cigar is "Let's get right to the point." and a pipe is "Aint no point to get to, let's just wander.". The enjoyment of tobacco is literally thousands of years old, multicultural, and has great positive religious use in multiple faiths. And like all things, in moderation, can be very beneficial. Thank for the video Dewayne.

Yep, tobacco has been utilize in many ways including medicinal, therapeutically also adding being used in ceremonial settings - gatherings citing it to be a peace pipe when done in more social settings. It's a been a wonder plant for many years before the westernized use of daily usage.

[@LoganisTrainBoy1]

When I’m the engineer I smoke my pipe. If I’m the conductor switching cars on the ground; I smoke a cigar so I do have to keep relighting or worry about the ash blowing into my face riding rail cars.

Cigar is my preferred, alone or in a group. That said, if I have something to contemplate, and stew on, it's done over a pipe

That means that 2 cigar smokers would just talk and the pipe smokers would just listen to nothing. Haha

Cancer clinician from TN here. It likely has more to do with genetics than anything else. My grandfather was a WWII vet and started smoking at 9. He smoked up to 3 packs of Marlboro Reds per day. At one point was an alcoholic. He ate bacon every day and was close to 250lbs. He died of lung cancer at age 86 after refusing treatment after he was diagnosed. Sounds like a good life to me doing what he enjoyed without a worry in the world. His son, my uncle, never smoked, never drank and tried to take care of himself by being active. He died 20 years younger than his father of a sudden heart attack. We never know what's going to take us out of this world so may as well enjoy it. As for me I enjoy a cigar every now and then.

[@Martin-hn1yj]

I think it has to do with stress levels and artificial additives in our food

[@raggamuffinmcgee]

@@Martin-hn1yj your genetics determine how you handle anything you put in your body whether it's cigars or herbicides. If your body can't repair itself because you have defective DNA repair genes then you're more likely to get cancer. If you have overexposure to certain chemicals (natural or otherwise) it increases the risk for a run away effect on genes that can become cancerous. If you damage your immune system, it can increase your risk of cancer. Stress and how you respond to it may also be determined by genetics. So I agree with you. That's why many things, even a salad should be enjoyed in moderation and why having a diversified diet is important. Smoking can increase your risk of cancer but having a cigar may have other benefits that aren't accounted for when only looking at the cigar itself.

[@DustinDonald-cz9ot]

I think it is due to all the additives honestly, there are at least 50 known carcinogens put into most cigarettes. Cigars and pipe tobacco are 100% tobacco no additives.

[@surfrat8884]

Genetics has alot to do with it.

The one that got me into pipes was a hand carved pipe with an ivory mouthpiece, idk I’m new to it but I think find one that speaks to you and fits you as far as finding one. Everything else I kinda just winged it as far as using it.

[@josephraborg867]

Briar pipes are the best in my opinion. However, if you want a good intro to pipe smoking, Missouri Meerschaums are a cheap way to get into it. However, they tend to be better with flavored tobacco-say, a good black cavendish or rum flavored tobacco. Many beginners start with vanilla or cherry flavored tobacco, and those work with those good old corn cob pipes as well.

[@Jewifer333x2]

Morgan pipe bones, they are some of the least expensive high quality pipes, made of briar and hand crafted.

[@airadaimagery692]

I started with 2 corn cob pipes (Missouri Meerschaum’s Country Gentleman, one straight, one bent), a small pouch of Carter Hall tobacco, a tin of Eileen’s Dream tobacco, and a couple of Muttenchop Piper videos. The journey took off nicely from there. The cost was about $60. You can buy just one pipe and one tobacco for half that, but the knowledge and enjoyment that you get for the additional cost is priceless.

[@ThePreachingPiper]

Amen, brother! Allegedly, they asked Spurgeon about cigars and he said he doesn't consider it a sin because he isn't smoking in excess. When asked what he considers to be excessive, Spurgeon replied, "Smoking 2 cigars at once!" 😉🙏💨

Dewayne, Your “Why I smoke cigars” video is what got me into cigars. “Peace ‘from’ mind” is what I wanted to explore, and it’s been added value to my life. Sounds so weird after over a year of learning, trying, improving and enjoying cigars…but it’s true. I used to homebrew. I used to collect whiskey bottles in my travels, and now I enjoy cigars. What never changed was my regard for it all. If it is ever counterproductive, wasteful, disrespected or relied-upon, it goes away. Period. But if it gives you a moment and space to reflect and savor - without regret or consequence - I’m adding it to the menu. One step backwards, and sometimes five forward. My grandfather smoked both cigars and pipes; I inherited his pipe but have yet to try it. I guess I don’t feel ‘ready’ to. But will I enjoy that Padron, EP Carrillo, AJ Fernandez and Tatuaje after a long day of good work? Hell yeah I will. And the family will never be neglected. Thanks for a great video, and for always keeping nuance at the front of all you say. PS- Gotta try EPC ‘INCH’ maduro. 6x60. Takes more time to light, but such a mild and creamy smoke. Cheers.

[@yankeedogg2212]

My dad smoked both pipes and cigars. I picked up the cigar habit early in life. I never even smoked a pipe until after he passed away and my mom gave me his pipe collection. I kept two and passed them onto my son. He smokes his grandpa’s pipes more often than I do. Pipes, you have to pay attention to. A cigar, you light once and move along.

[@michaelc.6927]

Thanks for the video! Been a pipe smoker for 50+ years. Been enjoying premium cigars for a few years, mostly Maduro's. The doc suggested I quit smoking a pipe so I told him I did, I switched to cigars , he didn't appreciate that LOL. I'd have to say that I agree with you on the health benefit and the poor diet that is killing the country as well. I am 70 next month and still strong as a horse and keeping up with many younger guys, still on the clock 50+ hours a week plus run a small farm. Thanks so much for this video and it's content, Good for you!!

[@ryantarpy1408]

Been a cigar and pipe smoker since college. Used to smoke in a back alley shop with a bunch of older gentlemen, and we had days when we all smoked cigars, and other days we all smoked pipes. Favorite flavor cigar is the CAO Potomac, favorite type of pipe tobacco was the Hobbits weed blend that was specially blended by the shop I regularly frequented.

As a smoker of both, I love pipes and cigars and like you said, they both have their time and place. Pipe (to me) offer more tasting notes of natural tobacco, and can be utilized if you don’t want to sit down for an hour. Cigars don’t need babysitting as you mentioned and are perfect for meditation if you have uninterrupted free time.

I am also a pipe and cigar smoker. You might find this interesting: I read a study on the country with the highest tobacco usage in the world and the top one was Iceland. Up untill the 19 teens, Iceland had a quite low cancer rate compared to other countries. But after that, the rate shot up. It shot up again in the 1930s. What changed? In both cases the Atlantic Convoys made pit stops in Iceland. This increased two factors: Bunker oil and gasoline/diesel use. The bunker oil was to fill up the ships and the rest for truck/car fuel. Before that Icelanders got around in wagons with Iceland ponies pulling the load. I contend it is NOT tobacco; it is the COMBINATION of something in the tobacco (probably additives or tar) and petroleum or petroleum polution. Just food for thought.

As a young man I fell in love with cigars a few years ago on a trip to the Dominican Republic. I have since began smoking a pipe too, but not nearly as often. I enjoy both, but pipes are hard for me. Cigars aren’t nearly as expensive as most people think, probably due to how they’re portrayed in the media with only the rich smoking them. But I love introducing new people to pure tobacco. And I find it’s one of the few times that I can sit down with a man and talk without any outside input of phones or screens. I feel more connected to history as well. It’s just a real soothing past time that I wish more took part in. Also, as a Christian I like to spend time with my God while enjoying tobacco. Just as people used to light incense or burn their offering to pray to the Lord, I like to imagine my smoke carries my words up to the Father as well. Not that it’s necessary. But it is a nice spiritual time for me.

It's allowed to sell cigars, but it took away at least 1/2, maybe more of the business. However they do allow a pot shop on every corner. That to me is comical and aggravating.

This brings me back to the video you released about the "brotherhood of the Leaf" . You also told a story about a fella who participated in one of your wrangling classes, who had said to his wife that he didn't know he could smoke cigars on that trip , and you offered him a cigar. Sir, I have to say, listen to you speak about your philosophy on life has gotten my attention. I've smoked cigarettes for most of my life, dabbled in smoking pipe for the past 10 years . I'm almost cigarette free and mostly smoke a pipe and I feel better for it. I'm with you about not liking being looked down upon for smoking tobacco by the general public. I've worked hard my whole life building other peoples dreams as a framing carpenter building houses, and I've reached a point in my life where it's time to slow down and relax, and smoking a pipe is how I've been doing it.

[@StarSignJulyM6]

Your story at the end was really fun! I love the idea of sitting with God and enjoying a cigar. Not sure if he's smoke with me, but I'm sure he'd allow me to partake. I really feel honesty and contemplation come out during cigar sessions.

[@russellrichardson3088]

Hey Dwayne, my grandfather smoked for very close to 50 years, started smoking right as he volunteered for the war in ‘42 and they’d send care packages overseas for the troops like comics and newspapers and gum, etc., and he’d smoke and he lived till he was 76. Strong man, loved to garden, always drank water out this ladle when he’d pull the bucket out of the well. Never had stress, bared ate unhealthy. Me, I smoke cigars once in a blue moon mainly because I found myself being very lonely and stressed in my younger years. I’ve smoked for damn near 12 years now and when a doctor checks my lungs and listens to them, he said “you don’t smoke, that’s good”. Imagine his surprise.

[@eversosleight]

As a 41 yr old man, I've been a whole hearted Christian for most my life. I may not smoke tobacco but I do enjoy natural snuff tobacco. If that's a conviction for some, well, that's them. But for those of us not bothered, please show some respect. I appreciate your talk brother 👍

[@MADSCIENTISTGONESANE6166]

This is one of the best videos I've seen so far expressing upon the hypocrisy and hysteria surrounding tobacco (cigar/pipe). And also being fair to those may not understand the reasons and intentions why one would pick up tobacco smoke. Especially if they are themselves curious on wanting to try or experience the hype around a good cigar or pipe.

Very good information, I love my cigars, never tried a pipe, but I may try it

[@chriscrosby5628]

Thanks for sharing, as always! I am both a pipe lover and a cigar lover. I am more of a casual guy, but I truly love tobacco! I appreciate what you said about enjoying the flavor of both tobacco and coffee... I am of the same mindset. I enjoy the way you can enjoy different flavors and nuances. I personally enjoy some very strong coffee with a splash of whole milk... It's good! Pipes for me require a bit of work to enjoy, so sitting out on the porch is my thing. Not something I can do at work! Cigars are nice and mobile, and I enjoy the taste of the wrapper in the mouth as I smoke it... That's another good benefit! I appreciate how you share your experiences, and your opinions in such a gentle way. I feel I have things to offer the world (on the internet) but have been crippled by Fear... It is a brutal new landscape! I can take criticism for sure... most people do, but the hive of scum and villianny that is the internet scares the you know what outta me.... Thank you for being who you are.... I am a Big Fan!

[@TrailbossEd]

Another fantastic video DeWayne. Out of alk the pipe blends that I've tried i would have to that Cornell & Diehl's Old Joe Krantz is the closest that I've found to taste like a maduro cigar.

[@chobitsjunky7960]

I agree with you so much on the idea that cigars are more natural in that it is just 100% rolled tabacco leaf. The typical cigarette has so much additives and chemicals and the smoke is inhaled rather than puffed. I'm ignorant on how pipes are smoked and what is in the tabacco but I still appreciate the allure to them.

[@greyhorse1]

Brother... That was outstanding!👍🏻👍🏻

[@Gieszkanne]

There is also a difference in taste. Even natural unflavored pipe tobacco is sweeter more flowery but in most cases pipe tobacco is sauced flavored anyhow and quite different from cigars. My father was a pipe smoker but he never smoked cigars. I once heard a story about a guy who was so thrifty that he smoke his cigar stumps in a pipe to not waste them.

I'm with you on the goopy flavourings. I'm a pipe smoker who likes cigars, but my budget is not conducive to cigar smoking very often. I second the black coffee too. One thing I like about the pipe as a workingman, a farmer and a logger working horses, as opposed to a cigar, is I can just take it with me in my pocket, light up for 5-10 minutes, then back in my pocket it goes and no issue. Cigars demand a commitment of time not always available, as you mention, can't just stick it in a pocket. I got started pipe smoking as a young man there was an oldtimer, drover, who also had Belgians who used to stop in at the farm on his way home from the local weekly auction sale barn, he smoked a pipe and I always thought it smelled nice. He stopped in to see what I was up to with my horses. I'm a Christian, a Catholic, and I smoke...

[@oliverreno4734]

Speaking from a British perspective, there is certainly a difference in character and attitude of someone who would choose to smoke a pipe, rather than a cigar. The main difference between our two countries is that the UK is very 'class conscious', when compared to our anglo-sphere brethren - in the USA at least. Culturally, us Brits are far more prone to make value judgements one someone based on the activities they partake in, due to the very unique micro-gradations that define our class structure. If you meet someone for the first time, and you ask them what their hobbies are, and you're met with the reply "Well, I like playing cricket on a Saturday, and I go shooting with my old schoolmates on a Wednesday evening." You can instantly feel out a sense of their position in the social/class hierarchy, in this case, the man is solidly in the middle class/lower-upper middle class, as those activities are associated with money. Likewise, if you asked another person of a different background the same question and they replied "I like to play snooker on Friday nights at the conservative club and watch Nottingham Forest games on television." you instantly know that the person in question is working class. It seems mad, but the same is true with the simple act of smoking. Smoking cigarettes/thin-cigarillo cigars are almost exclusively something that a working class person would do. On the other hand, pipe smoking is definitely viewed as historically a middle class thing to do (although today, if you're young and you start smoking a pipe in public, you'd probably be on the receiving end of some very funny looks). Cigar smoking, on the other hand, is almost exclusively an activity for the aristocrat/elite class. Think Winston Churchill. You might see the odd person at the pub smoking a pipe, but NEVER a cigar. In fact, it'd be considered a faux-pas to do such a thing in front of other people, as it's seen as boorish and a flaunting of your social standing. This may seem bizarre to Americans, but hand on heart, it is true.

[@airadaimagery692]

Sounds Totally bizarre, but I believe it. It sounds very shallow minded to be honest... But here in the states, a man can be driving a Lamborghini, and still be broke.

[@oliverreno4734]

@@airadaimagery692 The same goes for a lot of things. Traditionally, Brits were known for their understatement of bad situations. I was reading a book about WW2 a few weeks ago, and there's a poignant meeting of an American and British Naval officer, where the American (who is unused to this understatement) mistakes the British officer's modesty for unseriousness: “When the Americans came aboard, he noted a conversation between a US Navy officer and his British opposite number in which the American took the Royal Navy man’s stoic cheerfulness about their situation: ‘I guess you boys take this war very lightly,’ said the American. ‘Oh, yes. Rather.,’ replied the Englishman - who had mere weeks earlier been aboard the battleship Royal Oak when she was torpedoed and sunk with great loss, and whose Portsmouth home had been obliterated by bombs with his wife and child amongst the dead.”. The Phoney Victory - Peter Hitchens It's just different cultures, and unfortunately the old ways are dying out as we become more 'americanised' through television and music.

A big difference between pipes and cigars is that a pipe will go out even while you are actively smoking it, and a cigar will stay lit even if you put it down for five minutes.
