I meant to post this earlier, but forgot. Probably, many many of you have had the same experience, but I thought I'd share my own.
We went to our local fireworks show on the 4th, seated in a sparsely occupied area. I figured it was an ideal time to light up some Blood Red Moon, and watch the rocket's red glare. The pipe lasted almost the whole show.
After it was over, I had a woman come up to me, and ask me if I was "the gentleman" smoking the pipe. I admitted to my activity, and she proceeded to tell me how lovely it was to smell my pipe smoke. Her husband had been a life long pipe smoker, and my smoking brought back very fond memories. I was delighted, thanked her, and told her that I was so happy to be able to offer her that nostalgia.
It really was a good feeling, and bringing someone else joy through my hobby was satisfying. It's the little things sometimes. This was one of those.
