RE: After nearly a life time of not smoking...
I've been smoking a pipe since 1975(ish)...same four or five pipes...all cheap.
I mostly smoke cigars...(same concept...less ritual)

I like the ritual. Also, I never liked the smell of lit cigars (unlit ones smell great!), but I have always liked the smell of pipe smoke. Probably something from my childhood. I used to play in old tobacco barns. Might be that.
I like to smoke my pipe while I sit on the porch and watch the girls play in the apartment complex swimming pool.......er....I mean sit on the patio and think. I started smoking pipes first..then started truck driving later...can't smoke a pipe while driving...too much ritual.
So...I smoked ceegars and played with the smoke...
Now I'm not driving any longer.
I smoke my pipe again.
GOOD CHOICE on that second pipe..that long stem will cool the smoke. Hot smoke is harsh. Cool smoke is more funer.
I'm going to look over his stock when I get there, I don't mind a small defect if it saves me a good amount. I wish we had a pool!8-)
The young girls are lovely this time of year...uh...I mean.
oh yeah pipes.
If the purpose is to SMOKE it...you don't care what it looks like.
the pipe I smoke the most is damn near fifty years old..NOT very clean and has a few pieces bent and missing.
kind of like me actually.
if the purpose is something else...then you may care about appearances.
Nope, it's just me and the birdfeeder. I do really think of it almost like a tiny campfire, I just enjoy fiddling with it.
in one of Ayn Rand's (big) books either John Gault or Henry Reardan is talking about the symbolism of smoking tobacco.
Man is the only animal that has tamed fire.
We make what everything else in the animal kingdom is afraid of
dance to our tune.
we use it for our pleasure and recreation.
Yep. I read that before I started smoking cigarettes regularly. Thought about it a lot when I was smoking pot. Thanks for reminding me, because I really think it's relevant.
