Reconciling Risk v Reward of Piping

[Bruyere_Royale]

I cannot imagine trying to live a life filled with worry about being in perfect health. Immortality is not an option.

I love me some country music! Lol

No such thing as too much sex . First time ive ever seen or heard it mentioned . Pipe smoking is good for you , is the general rule

I guess it depends on what our definitions of moderation and excessive are. Non-smokers would consider 12 cigars a day excessive. I think 12 cigars fall within the limits of moderation, as evidenced by our aged veteran. Now we can take that example and compare it to whatever else. I think sex 12 times a day is well within the limits of moderation. Any more and you're looking for trouble.

When asked about his lack of exercise and incessant cigar smoking and the effect on his health, Winston Churchill replied, " I get sufficient exercise acting as pall bearer for my food faddist friends."

We all gotta die from something. Might as well die happy.

As someone mentioned, George Burns had a line in his schtick, when asked what his doctors say about his cigar smoking, "I don't know, they're all dead."
