What is your favorite smoking scenario?

Walt's little shop or front porch.

By a fire with a cup of coffee.

In my back yard with my dog, listening to nature and enjoying the peace.

It use to be while relaxing and fishing at my favorite lake or any time I went camping. I was an outdoors type of guy. Now my highlight is sitting on the back deck, listen to the stream and all the sounds of Mother Nature. Last week I was feeding a baby raccoon for a couple of days, haven’t seen him since last Friday. Guess his Mom finally realized she was one short.....lol. I’d much rather think good thoughts rather than it was one of the huge Eagles nesting nearby.

I have 5.

In my shop, while working on pipes. It doesn't give me the opportunity to concentrate on what I'm smoking, but having the pipe lit and puffing away gets me in the zone.

At McWiggins house for pipe night. We usually smoke blends we've picked out, and talk about them, and everything else under the sun.

Taking a walk down our side road with my kids.

Mowing the lawn with a big cob filled with Sutliff Aromatic English.

At the lake in NH, during our summer vacation. Sometimes I go out on the dock with an Adirondack chair at night, and look at the stars.

Sitting on the deck at the Cabin having a drink with my buddy Brad. So quiet and peaceful up there

On the back deck watching the sunset, listening to the sounds of nature, with a whisky in my hand.

Times have changed. When I was younger it used to be after a particularly enthusiastically acrobatic lay. Now it's when I take an evening stroll through the neighborhood or the village.

Being awake.

Smoking with friends. Cramptholomew will come over where I setup a smoking area for us and we smoke, talk about our smoke and everything in and out of this world. Another friend of ours joins us as well. He doesnt smoke but is good company.

Most of my smoking time is alone and its nice for what it is. I'm able to read or watch a movie or television show. At times, I've got meat smoking too. Its a good time to be alone with my thoughts or get lost in a good story.

A bonfire is always a pleasure. Usually my wife and I will have a small fire if the weather is good and the time is free. We will roast some hot dogs and just sit back and enjoy the fire. Bonus part for me is having a good pipe.

And lastly, while fishing. While I always love to catch something   because it also puts food on my table, even if I catch nothing it's always a great time just being out and enjoying the quiet time. Like having a bonfire, the bonus part for me is having a pipe as well.

It involves a cheer-leading squad and a beach in the Caribbean. 

...hanging out with all of you... wish it could be in person...

Yea, we've not heard from a few in my neck and to the east of me in a while.

I wish I could meet you in person, Dramatwist... You and so many others.

1. I love sitting out on my screened in deck smoking a pipe, either early in the morning with a cup of coffee, or in the evening with a good alcoholic beverage. I spent 15 years in a condo, where the only place to smoke was on the front stoop, which afforded no privacy, as the neighbors loved to congregate out there. Having a town home with a screened in deck and total privacy had been a god send, and I never take it for granted!

2. Love smoking a pipe around a fire while camping. I have been doing a backpack style camp trip with friends for 20 years now to a remote primitive camp site in Pennsylvania. It is in the middle of nowhere right on a creek bed, complete with 2 waterfalls. Had one of the best pipe experiences of my life about 8 years ago back there smoking some HH Vintage Syrian in a Ardor Giant, paired with JW Lees Harvest Ale (aged in port barrels). The tobacco and beer complimented each other so perfectly you couldn’t tell which source the flavor profile was coming from. I still think about it to this day! I also love waking up there in the morning and making some coffee in the French press and then sitting on a rock on top of the waterfall and smoking a pipe.

3. Pipe club! It’s the only time each month that I typically have face to face interaction with other pipe smokers, and there’s nothing like having a bowl with like minded folks!

I’m in the outside, watching and listening to nature club. Seems to be a common thing for us pipers! I could very easily see myself enjoying a pipe while fishing, though I haven’t been fishing in too long. 

I do really enjoy the quiet, early morning smokes. Allows for some great contemplative smoking! Walks are cool too, although I don’t seem to enjoy my smoke as much. 

I'm retired, so anywhere I can enjoy a bowl is good for me. In the house, in the yard, in my pickup, by a lake or river fishing, etc.
