This winter has been a rough one from a pipe smoking standpoint. I've only been able to enjoy a single bowl all month. Between the weather and multiple illnesses (always happens when I move to a new area), pipes just haven't been in the cards this whole month. I'm just now getting over the flu from two weeks ago, so I'm hoping I can catch a few days this week to enjoy a bowl.

I seriously considering coming today, but decided I was feeling antisocial (the curse of being an introvert!). I'll make it to another get together eventually! |

No worries, it was dead as could be anyway due to the impending super bowl  |

I feel your pain, buddy. I can't wait until the weather changes.
I hope you recover soon from the flu though.

It's the exact opposite season-wise here in Florida. I might smoke a pipe twice between June and October because it is just too hot and buggy to enjoy.

I don't understand not being able to smoke your pipe in your easy chair in your own home. I would just give it up if it was that much trouble. The little bit that I smoke isn't enough to hurt anyone. I survived many hours in a car with 5 cigarette smokers with no harm. If you have reasons for not smoking in your home that are good for you, well, that's you.
If I had to wait for perfect weather to smoke a pipe in SE Texas, I would get in maybe 4 pipes a year.

I use it an excuse to get outside and enjoy nature, even if it is only my back yard. |

Moderation is the key.  |

My wife does (although she's got the olfactory senses of a bloodhound). I'm not terribly keen on it either. So the alternative, if I want to enjoy a pipe, is to go outside...but that's when I have my issue with the weather. But when the planets align, those times are sublime and worth the wait. |

In my house, with one pipe a day, I find that the smell doesn't linger after a day. Some blends are worse than others. Old Joe Krantz isn't an indoor smoke, while Bengal Slices are fine.

I had the fire going today and took a burning block of peat out of the fire for a second to let the room get that lovely aroma... I don't see much difference between that and me smoking a pipe indoors. I mentioned that to the wife. Guess I'm waiting until spring. 😉😂 |

Rough winter here, too. We've had a few nights with temps in the low 40's. Once it even went into the 30's. Never snows, tho'.
