I tried dip it was awful, I played baseball when I tried it...got a hell of a buzz. I think boxers and mma fighters do it to suppress appetite and help aid them in making weight (the spitting helps a little).

I never have gotten addicted to cigarettes but I see how I could have, the gadgets and gizmos from the 20's through the 50's were quite nifty. For example I have one of my Grandfather's cigarette cases that is also a lighter...mighty classy.

Cigars are just right for me, every so often I'll have one and I've finally found some places to smoke them (away from my house). 1 place is a cigar bar, the other a smoke shop that sells tobacco, pipes, and also beer and wine.

I don't own a pipe and have never used one for tobacco, though I may invest in one yet. I've got a hand woven box from Botswana in which I keep pipe tobacco to make my house smell good...it would be nice the next time I bought some if it served its true purpose as well.
