You don't inhale when smoking a pipe. Pipe smokers actually live longer on average than non-pipe smokers.

It's still a pretty pseudy affectation, but no more than vaping imo.

Tolkien is very comfy. Shame is before I read the lotr trilogy I saw the movies several times. I'm reading the fellowship of the ring again and I can't get images from the movie out if mind while reading. It's frustrating.

And why did you skip Kalevala?

The whole story of Túrin Turambar is basically just a retelling of the tragedy of Kullervo

I understood it's kind of like a wikipedia for LOTR without a real story or plot.

as anon pointed out, you don't inhale pipe and cigar smoke. Not only that, cigarettes are full of chemical shit, pipe/cigar tobacco is 100% pure tobacco, you literally cannot compare them.

>>13446957
from what I've read about it, if you enjoyed at least SOME books of the bible, you might enjoy it. I have a retarded friend that only reads fantasy, he dropped lotr2 and silmarillion for being ""too boring""

I like how retards here are arguiyng for pipe saying it is healthier. No it isnt. We have papers stating the how and why it is more damaging to you than cigarettes. But sure go ahead and be a retard with cancer.

>> No.13448457

>>13448348
Please share those papers that say smoking a pipe is worse than smoking cigarettes.
