@@CristiNeagu I have actually been considering trying out pipes. I enjoy the flavor of a good cigar but I don't like the size of them and the cost can be ludicrous, minis are a decent alternative but trying a pipe has been on my mind for a little while. I honestly just have NO idea where to start with it. Don't want to waste money on a pipe and pouch and not enjoy it, ect..

Since then, I have cherished my time of puffing away. Petersons are my favorite too. And yes, there is something about just sitting and smoking. It's a calming and centering sort of thing.
