    The big advantage is you can fill a pipe with whatever you want. Smoke shops at least used to have a large selection of smells and styles - think like a modern coffee aisle

    Maybe that functional space is taken over by vapes these days

      The parallels between coffee (or tea!) and pipe tobacco are strong. Different leaves, preparations, (non-)aromatics, etc.

      Vapes - for me, at least - or closer to energy drinks. Different vibes for different tribes.
