Sorry for the long story, but I thought I would share.
The agency I work for contracts with another agency. Between the two departments I work for there are a few of my co-workers that smoke cigars, some more frequently than others. On occasion I have enjoyed a cigar with one of my supervisors while we are between calls. His dad used to smoke pipes so he bought a simple basket pipe a short time ago to try. A few weeks back we both decided to smoke a bowl instead of having a cigar. I enjoyed mine, but I could tell it wasn't his thing yet as he's only smoked his pipe on a few occasions. We'll see what happens, but either way I have a smoking buddy at work on days I have free time and choose to enjoy a cigar or pipe.
A short time back while sitting in the main office of the agency that I work for I was looking at Meerschaum pipes and one of my co-workers came up to me to chat and saw I was looking at pipes. He was surprised I was a pipe smoker and we exchanged comments and then he step outside for a minute. When he came back he handed me a small bag and inside were two corn cobs, some tobacco and accessories. As much as he was surprised I smoked a pipe I think I was more surprised that he smoked a pipe. So this past Wednesday, it was my Friday and was my co-workers Friday as well. Prior to getting off shift he asked if I was interested in going outside to smoke a bowl. I said sure so we both enjoyed a bowl and had a good conversation about pipes and tobacco. It was pretty cool, and a nice way to end my work week.
So now I have a cigar and maybe a pipe smoking buddy at one office and a pipe smoking buddy at my main office. Though I don't smoke very often at work, at least when I do I have some one that can possibly join me. So in the event that an opportunity presents itself I have a MM corn cob Diplomat, some baccy and accessories that I keep in an old Crown Royal bag in my work truck.
So how many of you guys get a chance to smoke at work, and if so do you have someone to smoke with?
