I really enjoy my machine made cigars, but the pipe edges them out.

I'm a pipeman. That's not to say I can't enjoy the occasional cigar, but it's the pipe for me most of the time.

Pipe , no doubt . The variety in pipe tobacco and pipe smoking in general is so far beyond that of cigars . That said , cigars do kick ass but the pipe kicks ass and kicks everything else , is the difference

If it’s the fact that the p-lip delivers the smoke to the roof of your mouth you can do a little rework to the stem and redirect the flow straight out the back. I modified the Peterson stem I used on the Ugly Meer because I got tired of backing the roof of my mouth.
The easiest way to get the P-Lip to stop delivering smoke to the roof of your mouth is to rotate the stem 180 degrees. That's what a buddy of mine used to do. He's dead now. I tried his technique a couple of times but I felt stupid smoking a pipe with the stem going in the wrong direction.

For whatever it might be worth my VA Doc calls pipe smoking "exercise" :)

I'm a pipe guy.
X cigarette smoker ,
I have tried cigars ,and they left a bad taste in my mouth. (pun intended )
With pipe tobacco ,if it's not that good ,It can be mixed or flavored .
A cigar , you can't do much with.
Pipe tobacco ,usually has a nice aroma ,room note.
Cigars , usually smell like someone is cremating a cat .
I have friends that smoke cigars , and they enjoy them...
I have not found a cigar I like
Not going to pursue cigar smoking ,when I have hundreds of tobaccos that I haven't tried , or blended myself.
