  I have chosen...
When I quit smoking, I thought I only had two choices: stop smoking altogether, or continue to chain-smoke for the rest of my life. There was no such thing as moderate tobacco use. Well, that may be true, but I have decided to give pipe-smoking one more try. See, I may be deluding myself, but I have this theory that the reason smoking pipes led me back to smoking cigarettes again all those times before is that I was so addicted to nicotine when I tried switching to the pipe that I actually started inhaling when I smoked the pipe in order to get my accustomed level of nicotine.

In any case, after quitting cold turkey and not smoking for nine days, the other day I bought some pipe tobacco and smoked a bowl. It was like coming home... So I guess I've chosen to be a pipe-smoker. I couldn't handle being a non-smoker and cigarette-smoking is definitely not for me (neither is cigar-smoking). Now I only smoke once or twice in the evening and I don't inhale, and it's ten times more enjoyable than smoking cigarettes.

I've also ordered the Official Aragorn Pipe from TolkienTown.com. I plan to eventually get the whole collection of LotR official pipes. Supposedly they are fully functional; I will post my experiences with the Aragorn pipe at a later date, in case there are any other pipe-smoking LotR fans out there who are wondering if it's a good smoke or not.

The rider was robed all in black, and black was his lofty helm; yet this was no Ringwraith but a living man. The Lieutenant of the Tower of Barad-dur he was, and his name is remembered in no tale; for he himself had forgotten it, and he said: 'I am the Mouth of Sauron.' J.R.R. Tolkien
