Well I am very new to the pipe so much so that i am still developing my palate.Although i am not the best packer and i tend to smoke way to fast i really enjoy smoking my pipe.My mother has been in ICU for a week and they can find nothing to explain why she is so sick.Ihave spent our upon hour on the roae and in the waiting room or in her room st her side in prayer.I am emoitionally and physically exhausted.When i get home late at night I am so exhausted that I can barely stand yet I find myself finding my cob and packing a small bowl of Halflings Leaf and sitting on the porch swing for a short time and taking time to just be.I find it so relaxing and centering that I dont believe I would be doing as well as I am if not for my escape in the smoke with my trustee cob.

Sorry for your family worries. If a bowl makes you feel more relaxed and focused then good for you. I fully understand what you're going through so seek solace where and when you can.

Welcome aboard and my prayers are going out for you and your mother.

After reading your story, you are further along in your pipe smoking experience the you realize.
You seem to "get it" about the benefit of pipe smoking.

I, too, extend my thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I find that pipe smoking clears my head and allows me think clearly, in a relaxing way.
