I quit smoking a pipe 39 years ago, about 5 years after I started collecting watches. Back then, I was paying either $1.59 or. $1.89 for a 50 gram pouch of pipe tobacco. About 15 years ago, I enquired as to what a 50 gram package of pipe tobacco was. It was close to $16.00! Had I kept smoking, over the past 39 years, I suspect I would have burned up more money than I have invested in watches since I started collecting. Hardly a day goes by but what I think about perhaps, just once, buying a pouch of pipe tobacco!
