It's weird. I've got a head cold. Nothing terrible, just nasal congestion, itchy eyes, occasional cough, very mild fever once in a while.
It's nothing that strictly prohibits me from enjoying my pipes -- but I just don't go near them with a cold. Maybe I ought to; maybe they'd be therapeutic -- like the old vaporizer when we were kids.
Likewise for you fellows?
(Thank goodness I still enjoy a drink in the evening, or I'd be vice-free.)

For a head cold I always have a nasal spray of saline solution around and flush every hour. You would be amazed at how quickly you can knock out a head cold.

I am like you and stop smoking my pipes when I get a head cold. I just can't enjoy them at all

I never smoke while I'm sick and I always clean my pipe with alcohol before I go back to them, just in case. That first bowl after recovery is always nice!
