Pipe smoke smell is way worse than cigarretes. Old prof used to smoke pipe in his office... Stench is worse than tobacco bars and cig smoking offices +20 years later.
My dad occasionally smoked a pipe. I do not remember the house or his clothes stinking from it (he probably didn’t smoke inside, I don’t remember) and to this day get warm feelings when smelling cherrywood smoke
Unlike cigarettes or pot, pipe smoke can be pleasant
Can't say about wood smoke, but a cherry topped aromatic tobacco can be good 😊
Different strokes and all that.
Different tokes 😉
My best friends dad growing up smoked a pipe, he was divorced and lived in an apartment and the whole place smelled like pipe tobacco and I can still smell it like 40 years later haha.
