I prefer cigars socially (as a benefit, even non-regular smokers can participate because you don't need any equipment or skill), but for solo smoking I like a nice pipe.
Growing my own for the first time this year. Pic related, the strongest of the four surviving plants, a Monte Calme brun. Won't be much of a yield, but next year I'll know which mistakes to avoid, and ought to have much better results.
