      Pipe tobacco is amazing. It can be very complex after aging.

      The average pipe smoker lives longer than the average non smoker.

          Thems fighten words. I don’t smoke any churchwardens. Among pipe smokers, you’re usually dealing with a particular type of socially tone deaf nerd when they smoke a churchwarden and start talking about pipe weed. You need to be at least 60 and fully grey to pull off a churchwarden.

          If it’s true, it’s likely socioeconomic. Relatively expensive start up cost, bag or tin of pipe tobacco usually costs more than a pack of cigarettes. Tends to select for wealthier users with better healthcare.

          It’s not inhaled so the cancer risk is lower than cigarettes. But, yeah, it’s not healthy.

        My grandfather would not disagree with you but then he’s dead from lung cancer.
