This 4th of July I get to pat myself on the back.

Hey toobfreak. Some fun facts for you to ponder...

Too bad that mainly reflects CIGARETTE SMOKERS. I only smoked them about 2 years in high school. They sucked. I'm a pipe and cigar smoker. 10,000X better. Hey! 4th of July! Great day to celebrate your quitting cigarettes! Here are a few of the GREAT fine cigars you've probably never tasted including a few I had special imported into the country. People kill for these things:

Mmmmmmm.

A few more pictures from my photo archive of tasty tobacco treats you will never know because you just don't smoke a pipe wasting your life on cigarettes:

All for me. LOTS more where that came from! Smoking 45 years now and not a cough or thing!

Of course, you need a PIPE to smoke pipe tobacco in! Here are a few of mine:

The above is a genuine handmade gourd calabash with premium virgin meerschaum I had imported from Latvia. Such perfect gourds and perfect quality meer are no longer available and almost impossible to find. The pipe is virtually irreplaceable and it was unsmoked when I bought it.

Four of the pipes above are one of a kinds in all the world. One was imported from Latvia, another from Denmark, and the one in the middle top was imported from its custom maker in Poland.

SUCH a grand hobby and pastime.

Tobacco comes in many decadent forms tailored to the sophisticated taste that you've probably never even seen nor heard of.

Can't see the images anymore, but I have to admit that was quite an impressive collection.
