I never liked the smell and never felt tempted to smoke myself, even in my teens. Pipe-smoking I associate only with old men, with one notable exception: One girl in my upper secondary school class!DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-49559948474342041982021-03-15T20:05:31.660+01:002021-03-15T20:05:31.660+01:00LaN, no one else in my close family smoked at all,...LaN, no one else in my close family smoked at all, and I can't recall that I've ever actually seen anyone smoking a cigar except on film!DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-5192576525921712172021-03-15T20:01:08.940+01:002021-03-15T20:01:08.940+01:00Kathy, I don't think I ever liked the smell, b...Kathy, I don't think I ever liked the smell, but I also can't quite recall it, which makes me think my grandfather probably mostly smoked outdoors.

But I grew up in an otherwise basically non-smoking family. I never smoked myself and never could stand the smell of cigarettes. I was relieved when smoking indoors in restaurants was banned here in 2005 (had to look that up). Nowadays it's even banned at open air cafés and entrances to public places, and I understand smoking has gone down quite a lot in later years.

He had always been a smoker of cigarettes, and we were used to that, but the pipes were different - the tobacco smelled nicer, and a small array of pipes looked rather nice on a shelf in the living room next to his usual seat. I don't really remember how and why he gave up pipes; he remained a heavy cigarette smoker until 2018 when he was forcibly weaned off them during his hospital stay.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-81696246926602665212021-03-14T21:58:14.617+01:002021-03-14T21:58:14.617+01:00My paternal grandfather smoked cigars (I have a ph...My paternal grandfather smoked cigars (I have a photo of him holding one.) My Dad smoked cigarettes. But my husband smoked a cigar when we were first married. I always laugh about that because that first Christmas after we were married when my Mom asked what his favorite tobacco was, thinking to give him some as a gift, I told her he smoked Amorpha. You'd think I could remember the proper name of the tobacco I bought for him every shopping trip! ("Amphora" - although 'Amorpha' is probably more appropriate in a way.)

Funny, you don't see near as many men with pipes nowadays. My great-grandfather smoked one all the time. He used a tobacco in it called Cherry Blend, and it smelled divine!
