    I had to drive back from my dad's today it usually takes anywhere from 40 mins to an hour depending on traffic I was by my self in the car so I filled my pipe in the 7/11 parking where I had grabbed an ice tea. I took care to pack and get it lit before I was into traffic. But I was a bit distracted and know i wound up smoking that bowl of CBW to fast because I was worried about having to relight too often. It just wound up being a cluster %uck so I would likely not try it again as a driver perhaps as a passenger it would work alot better. I got to thinking if this was a common experience or if some are real pros at it and could share their expertise.

    So,does anyone else smoke while driving and any good stories involving driving with your pipe?

    Hey Frank,

    For me it's standard operating procedure.
    I pack one and char light it before I leave.
    And, when I'm ready for the pipe, I take a butane to it.
    I don't particularly like to pack a pipe while driving.
    That has to wait for traffic lights.
    But, I never have any problem when smoking my pipe and driving.
    In fact with a properly aimed AC vent, I find that keeping the pipe lit is actually easier than sitting my easy chair.
    But, I recommend a light pipe that can be clenched.

    I am a clencher so maybe that makes it easier to smoke while driving, but I have always smoked while driving. I too pack and char before I set out. As for relights, I wait for a stop light, pull off the highway, or light with one hand while clenching. I tend to smoke black or dark brown blasted pipes when I drive to hide any rim charring due to missing the bowl while lighting and driving. I used to have a 45 min to an hour long commute to and from work so it was perfect for a pipe. I just find that if I have to pay more attention to the pipe than I can while driving, then I just wait till I get a break in my driving responsibilities to do whatever I have to do to the pipe.

    I can find myself trying to smoke a little to fast while driving do to 2 factors.

    1: Other people on the road piss me off. When I'm pissed off I smoke faster
    2: I'm trying to keep the pipe lit and so I and trying to constantly puff

    Therefore I smoke blends I do not get tongue bit with. I like this one blend at my local tobacconist called Sundowner. Its a light aromatic thats smokes sweet and smooth. Also has no tongue bit. Its a good all day blend. CBW is a no go for me while driving. It destroys my mouth almost every time I'm in the car.

    I have a 50 min. ride each way to work and almost always pack a bowl. Same as pstlpkr I do the charring light first and then go on my way. If it goes out at an inconvenient time I put it aside until I stop long enough for a relight which always seem like a long time!! Also I'm a clincher.

    I have a designated driving pipe, a short, ¼ bent Stanwell bulldog that doesn't get in my way. Its capacity is just right for my once-a-week 75 minute trip. Driving and being away from home are the only times I use butane lighters, and I only re-light when stopped in traffic.

    I think what I need most is a convenient pipe holder that allows the pipe to sit-up properly when not in use. Back in the days when the interiors of cars were made with a lot of metallic parts, a pipe with a magnet in the bottom of the bowl would prove useful.

    I find myself sitting idly on the line dividing past and future,
    as if I could kill time without injuring eternity. -- Thoreau

    Absolutely. If I'm driving, there's a Pipe to keep me relaxed and surprisingly, a bit more observant. In the DFW Metroplex traffic, I need all the help I can get. I can relight at stop lights or just pull over. I carry a cell phone, but rarely turn it on.

    A Bent Bob is the perfect driving pipe for me . light and go . Get plenty of strange looks . My comute is 40 miles each way .

    You know I have always herd of 1Q and if I remember right I think my grandpa used to smoke it but always called it Special #2(guess it was called that back in the day) even after name change if this is the same tobacco. I should order a couple of ounces to try it out.

    I used to smoke cigars in my old car, but after I got a new car I don't smoke in it anymore.

    I do sing at the top of my lungs though.

    However, I live in a downtown area where I walk everywhere and I work from home, so I only drive my car about twice a month.

    The way work is going lately, I'm inclined to start a bowl up as I leave work to hopefully calm me down...that 35 minute fighting traffic, slow people in the LH lane, bumper to bumper traffic has been getting to me lately. Everyone in the company smokes cigarettes in their truck, so a pipe would not be a problem.

    Hobie you need a little clencher pipe . I use a little Bent Bob poker with a curved stem . It allows me to focus on the road and not the pipe .Welcome to the club of hard core commuters . I try to make a good time out of my commute , nice cold soda , good music , good smoke . That is to say I make it my time . Try and find other people who are on the road at the same time as you are everyday and give a wave and smile .

    I keep a couple pipes and a few tins in the car so I am always ready. Unless it is a very short trip, I always light up.

    Get a Stanwell Featherweight. Perfect little road pipes. I never thought of the added benefit of staying out of your way when it comes to full bent pipes. I have never smoked a full bent pipe, but I seem to be getting more and more curious. This may be the final straw in my decision to start smoking bents.

    Oh Phil, you've gotta get a full-bent pipe if you smoke and drive! Not only does it stay out of the way for vision and steering, but it has great leverage so you can clench it almost continuously without jaw fatigue. This dinky little pipe, believe-it-or-not, is a group 5; and was as cheap as a basket pipe, so I don't mind leaving it in a parked car.

    That is good looking pipe Cortez.
    Is is a Brebbia Lectura?
    I like my Brebbia.
    I have converted it to a Churchwarden, and it smokes very well, even though it is shellacked. But, I don't drive with it. It's just too long.
    I do agree with you about the curved pipe for driving.
    I rarely drive with a straight pipe for the reasons you mentioned.

    Lawrence, a stamping around the stem says, "Made in Italy", but I don't know who made pipes for the Tinderbox label back in the late 1960's.
    This one is a very good smoker and has seen a lot of use.

    I permanently loosened the stem of a pipe once by leaving it in the car on a hot day. I always take my buddy in with me now.

    Phil, I didn't even think of that! How mindless we can be sometimes. I'm glad you posted-up,
    because I'm gonna cease leaving the pipe in the car -- at least in the summertime. Thanks.

    As I'm so fond of saying, I used to be a Moron, but converted to Presbyterianism in my later years.
    I guess I still look like one though -- except when I walk with a billiard clenched in my teeth.

    Well, I've been smoking a bowl on the way home from my 30 minute commute and I have noticed that I set the cruise on 65, rarely go into the LH lane, and have stopped getting pissed off at all the Moron's....it's a really great thing, and I think it is the perfect way to make sure you never get a speeding ticket again. Still searching for that perfect blend.....but I'm still in my infancy of eposure to all the different ones out there.

    Never. From the start of spring till the end of fall I ride my scooter unless me and Riggs the wonder dog are going to the dog beach. I have the crappy car in the family. The only thing I'd have left at the end of a ride if I smoked while I drove would be a burning ember clinging to partially melted vulcanite and a severely burnt throat. I don't smoke much in the winter since I live with a bunch of pipe smoking haters.

    Riggs looks like a fun dog. We have a guy in the neighborhood with a dog that looks like Riggs and the dog runs along side the guy as he is bicycling down the street. The dog stays right beside him, at the same speed. When he stops, he'll nod to the dog, and the dog will go over to the fire hydrant, etc., take a quick whiz, and is back in position....no leash in sight anywhere.

    If I drove an automatic, I think I would have an easier time of it. As it stands, though, I don't smoke my pipes while driving. I have enough to worry about with the crap drivers around here, and having to constantly change gears.

    Not any more. Herself has COPD. I only smoke in my man cave now.
    WillH, I used to drive a truck with a 13 speed or a 10 speed manuel transmission while smoking a pipe. Back then it was bents only to keep them out of my line of sight. My big atvantage was I could see quite aways ahead setting eight to nine feet above the road.
    And no, I didn't try to load a pipe while driving. I loaded a days worth before starting.

    I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane.

    There's nothing like lighting up a pipe to allow you to tolerate 5 miles of backed up traffic on the internet. Of course once I passed the jam I'm driving 75mpg with the steering wheel lowered between my knees as I am lighting my pipe!

    I have smoked a pipe while driving for over 40 years now. All briar, all styles. What have I learned? To wear a self made bib (one in each vehicle) made from old dish drying cloths, so that no longer are my shirts and jackets full of burn holes.

    Funny, I used to smoke and drive when I smoked nails, but not with the pipe. I do sit in my car and have a smoke on my lunch when it's nice outside. I'll go to the Subway just down the road, have a sandwich and a short smoke before going back to the grind.

    I load and light my first pipe in the garage on the way to the truck and smoke it to the Park-n-Ride. Then pick out the embers and slide it into the brief case. When in the office and the coffee made, take a cup and go outside to enjoy the last of the pipe and watch the Occupiers in the park across the street freezing their a** off. Look forward as the day winds down to arriving at the truck, lighting up and driving home. Wish there was a smoking section on the bus--but it would smell like cigs. Too much time spent commuting not to make at least some of it mine.

    All things I undertake must contain integrity, compassion, elegance and grace.

    I am obviously a smoker or I wouldn't be part of this forum but I support the ban on smoking when driving here in the UK. I have been discusted for many years at the site of mothers on the school run with a car full of children and a cigarette hanging form their mouths, I have even seen baby's strapped in their child seats with their mothers smoking at the wheel. I havn't smoked at the wheel for over 30 years, back then there was far less congestion on the british roads but can remember a time when I tossed a cigarette out of the window and it flew straight back in and landed in my lap, I was doing 70mph at the time, also on a few occations I had the lighted tip fall off, I have had smoke in my eyes, sneezing fits and numorous other distractions caused by smoking, how many smokers out there has had simular experiences, I can imagine how serious some of these little misshaps could be if happening as they surely do on our very busy motorways. I have been a pipe smoker for over 40 years but have never smoked one at the wheel, christ I know how hard it is to light up a pipe in the comfort of my home, how many relights, tamping, and all that comes from a pipe, we all know this don't we, ye I know some of you can do it standing on your heads and are superhuman, but me, just a meer average who has seen many accidents caused by all manor of things, why not take one of these things away, I didn't support the ban on the use of mobile phone as I couldn't see it being more distractive than talking to the passenger sitting next to you, but the more it was explained to me, people taking there eyes of the road to text, to dial, to plug in to charge, all simple things, but at 70mph on a busy motorway, anybody that knows the roads in the UK must support anything that makes them safer and not just see it as another nail in the coffin for us smokers.
    I wrote this for a previous post, still feel the same.

    Yeah I smoke in the car sometimes. Usually load the pipe up before entering the car and then give the char light, tamp, and second light while the car is off. I only tamp when I'm at a red light, and if it goes out I just wait till the next red light to tamp and relight. A lot of the times I'll smoke on my way to school. My local's hall is located basically in the ghetto (it was there before the area was the ghetto and hasn't moved), so it's funny as hell the looks I get driving with the windows down, Dean Martin cranked up, and a pipe in my mouth.

    As for distractions, I think a cellphone is a much bigger disctraction than a pipe. You can choose a good clencher that you know you won't have to fiddle with too much. With the cellphone you have to hold it up to your ear in some manner and it usually slips around and then there's dropping it and dialing etc. I personally had one occassion where I turned southbound out of a shopping plaza into the northbound lane while I was talking on my cellphone. Luckily I had time and room to hop the median and get on the correct side of the road. Since then I've gotten a bluetooth and always have it in when driving. The bluetooth is the closest it comes to talking to a passenger while driving.

    I keep a few aromatics around for my drive smoke. I sometimes find myself smoking a bit fast when driving and the mellow aromatics I keep on hand fit the bill. 1Q being my favorite.

    I have a 30 min trip to and from work. believe it or not its the only time I can enjoy a whole bowl in one sitting with out the wife or kids pestering me to come inside. I smoke outside so the house doesn't smell like my truck, also no one else smokes and I have a 1 yr old at home. True on the bent pipe, my Petersen- Rock of Cashel- 221 is perfect. Not too heavy. In fact I smoke all my pipes in the truck except for my vintage calabash (for good reason).

    If you can't pack it, light it, and smoke it then why do it. It's a dieing art that must be rekindled in all of us as fortold by our forefathers.

    Words to live by for all pipe smokers.

    Only bad thing about smoking while driving in Jacksonville is the FDLE. i have been pulled over maybe 5 times so far and asked by the statey if i was smoking pot. i said i wish and he let me go. one cop decised to give me a sample of his Pease- not bad, in turn i gave him a sample of my Stash- lol.

    I sometimes smoke my pipe when I am deriving alone typically coming home from work. My computing time from the college I teach at to my home is over an hour and it's mostly on country roads. Going through small towns, like lordofthepiperings, I only tamp and relight when at a red light or otherwise stopped. On the country roads my car is sometimes the only one around.
    My wife does not want me to smoke in my home office aka man cave cause the lingering smell bothers her.

    OK...I'm not allowed to smoke in the car although I'm the one that drives it all of the time! Occasionally my wife will use it or ride in it and she doesn't like tobacco smoke aroma all that much. I HAVE been smoking in the car on my way to work experimenting with various cross-ventilation arrangements using the electric windows. Driving at my usual 75+, I get plenty of cross-venting, but it's the lingering odor that I'm concerned about. I don't know if it's from my coat or still in the car. Hmmmm....will just have to continue experimenting!

    I'm glad you mentioned that coalsmoke...

    I was just about to pose a question..and I still will.

    I used to smoke cigarettes in my vehicle...much like you coal..I am the only one that drives it.

    Usually if I put the windows down a tad during and after my smoke the smell will dissapate to a non noticeable level.

    I've noticed that pipe tobacco doesn't seem to be as aggressive as cigarette smoke..it's easier to rid of.

    Does febreeze do the trick? Or is it not necessary?

    I guess what I'm asking is...do you get nagged by the wife whenever shes in the car that youve been smoking your pipe in or is she none the wiser?
