Every piper needs their sanctuary to enjoy their pipe in peace. Where do you go to smoke your pipe?
When I thought about smoking a pipe, I always imagined myself in a study or personal library where I could write and read, surrounded by books with a favorite pipe clenched while sitting in a comfortable chair. Sadly, I don't have a study, nor can I smoke my pipe in the house, as we rent. Perhaps one day this dream will come true.
Until then, I have my garage! While it gets hot in the summer and bitterly cold in the dead of winter, it's still my own little private heaven where I can puff away freely while writing, reading, or being distracted from both while wasting time on Instagram or pipe sites (like now...).
I have a table set up for writing, with trays on both sides of my computer chair for my ashtray, pipe rests, pipe tobacco, old P&C catalogs, a spare cob, and a few books. While it's stuffy in here at the moment, it's better than sitting outside and being dinner for pesky mosquitoes. The only disruptions I get here is the occasional huge spider running across the floor, or raccoons making mischief outside these thin walls.
How about you, fellow pipers?

or kick back and watch a show with my pipes and air conditioning.

This has always been my dream. I collected books including a fair tobacciana library and I have enough cool pipe and book related ephemera to decorate a library. My kids have moved out and I have a room to work with but we are thinking about downsizing so I don't know if I want to spend the money so my smoking spot remains the living room. I'm very comfortable with my feet up in my Morris Chair with a computer in my lap and watching TV
@corey562 That is wonderful. I would love to rock in a swing on a porch with my pipe.
Occasionally, I hop in the car and drive to a nearby park. Find a quiet spot near the water and relax with a couple of bowls.
Don't have the swing up yet, My father-in-law is still building it, but sitting on the back porch watching wildlife/bush or in the detached garage/workshop.
