I smoke cigarettes often and cigars occasionally. Not so much a heavy smoker anymore. The pipe has always been something I've wanted to try, thinking as a way to remove a few more cigarettes out of my life. Cigarettes are far too convenient. Can see the pipe ritual being beneficial. More of an event than a crutch.
I use glass pipes for weed. They get all gummed up and clogged really fast. To clean those I use butane, it goes through a filter, then I evaporate the solvent, and I'm left with a substance similar to hash oil or resin containing leftover THC that was stuck in the tar and whatever else. Can do it with alcohol as well but the evaporation process takes more time.
I know of a good smoke shop a few hours away (I choose to live in the middle of nowhere). Plenty of imported cigars so I'm sure I'd find a good selection. Costly though. They like to tax here and try to ruin the fun. Surprisingly, once weed was legalized and taxed, the prices still beat the black market.
Crazy internet already has me going down the Kinnikinnick rabbit hole. Was looking for first nations sources. Their tobacco products are usually top notch, pure, organic; all that good stuff.
