Hello Folks,
I'm a new member here so this will be my first topic (respectively). I am interested to read any experiences or shared thoughts of fellow smokers who puff at work.
For myself; I always bring my pipe to work, although I'm the only pipe smoker at my job. Usually after lunch break I find a bench to sit at and smoke my pipe alone as I observe the cigarette smokers huddle around in their tribe circle on the pavement. The cigarette smokers have to smoke farther away, because too many employees complain about the stench of their cigarette smoke. I however get compliments like, "Whatever you're smoking smells good" or "You remind me of Grandpa". When I find extra time at work to relax (or slack off), I go to the roof to puff my pipe while cloud gazing. At those times I feel nostalgic for some reason and I end up calling my wife to ask how her day is going. It's kind of a tradition, because she'll tell me to get back to work or to stop slacking off, followed by an "I love you". And finally, when I have a fair amount of tobacco left at the bottom of the bowl, I lock my door, close the blinds, and smoke in my office secretly. So far I've never received a complaint on the odor of my office, but that may be due to the aroma from multiple jars of unsmoked pipe tobacco, plus I keep a lot of chocolate around that blends in very well with the tobacco.
Anyways that is my experience with puffing at work and I would be grateful to hear your stories! Thanks for reading.
