What is your favorite activity while smoking your pipe?

JoeHandyman

I enjoy birdwatching while smoking my Cobbits and Falcons. I try to sit in either my swing or Adirondack chair at least twice a day as weather permits. Each of my seating places has its own set of bird feeders. One is near the edge of the woods and the other overlooks a few acres of open ground with scattered trees. Each area attracts it's own unique birds.

I like listening to old time radio shows from the 40s & 50s in the afternoons when I'm smoking a pipe. I imagine that's what a lot of pipe smokers did during that era before every house had a tv.

On Sunday morning I like listening to bluegrass gospel

I enjoy reading or listening to a book on tape.  Recently I've been reading school work stuff so no so enjoyable but at least I have my pipe.

I typically read or catch up on YTPC videos. Occasionally music.

fishing or hunting

I either read, listen to music, or just sit quietly while thinking and watching nature. All very enjoyable activities with a pipe.

Sitting on the porch day or night just relaxing.

Fishing, hunting, camping/bushcraft. Unfortunately I cant do those things as much as I like, so many weekends I'm like pappy and listen to old time radio shows while I piddle around in the shop.

PappyJoe

And sometimes you just have to take advantage of a quiet morning where the only sounds are the wild birds singing at the bird feeders to have a good pipe.

Walking my two English springer spaniel dogs around the Antrim glens.

I like to smoke my pipe with a glass of Bushmills Whiskey.

Doing what I'm doing now sitting with my feet up, TV on and a computer in my lap.

I've either got my nose in a book, or I am sitting at my desk doing computer stuff.

PappyJoe

@judandhispipe - I am tempted to smoke my pipe around my computer at times. Then I remember back when I used to have to take computers apart and work on them. The ones used in non-smoking offices were so much cleaner and had fewer problems. The ones in the smoking offices had to be replaced almost every two years.

It is what it is.

Any and everything really. While fishing, studying, reading, watching stuff on youtube, playing video games, relaxing to music, drinking rum and ginger ale... the list goes.

Watching tv, reading,walking,but almost always with a hot cop of coffee

Stoney

Fully agree with @LostMason - usually a book, but always with black coffee.

iamandrewx

with the buddies, and our pipe playlist on Spotify.

PappyJoe

@iamandrewx - what's your playlist name on Spotify. I have one named Pipe Smoking Blues and one named Cigar Blues.

Wait no one plays Pokemon Go While smoking sheesh I guess I am alone 

lol

PappyJoe

@abreathawayfromglory - Pokemon Go? Are you sure your old enough to be on here?

iamandrewx

@PappyJoe its a lot of grunge and rock from the 00s.

I enjoy reading a book while smoking a pipe, it tends to slow down my cadence, usually I smoke in the evening outside on a nice summer night, listening to the sounds of nature , with a nice cool glass of iced tea.

Abreathawayfromglory

@pappyjoe Yes I am old enough but still young enough to have collected pokemon as a kid 

PappyJoe

@abreathawayfromglory - I was just kidding. I give Beau, the co-host of Country Squire Radio a hard time about it too. 

Personally, I like books. Real, physical, hold them in your hand and turn the pages books. On top of that, when I find a new series I want to read, I have to read them in order. And I seldom get rid of books. I have probably two plastic containers in storage and 75-100 here in the house. 

I would rather read an old book for the 15th time than watch a re-run on tv.

Drinking tea and either reading or solving Sudoku puzzles, all while hanging out with my dogs. Camping is high on the list also. Perks of being a retired gentleman of leisure.

I have my pipe on the weekends in the evening when the kids are in bed (I have 4 kids all under the age of 9).  I sit in the back patio usually listening to music watching the sun go down and the stars come up.  I mainly try to just clear my head and not think about anything.  I try my best to focus on the blend that I’m smoking, nature, and Gods creations.  In the end I feel clear and refreshed.  It gives me something to look forward to it every week.

@jabraham326 How clear my head feels after smoking my pipe is why I have always come back to smoking my pipe versus cigars or cigarettes. I feel that it's something that you can't rush and it forces me to slow down in this fast paced world.
