when is a pipe unreasonable?
When a fine cigar is called for. Between the car and the store. (I find a lit pipe in the shirt pocket to be distracting as I push the shopping cart.) A cigar tasting at your friendly tobacconist. Between the car and the terminal. Between the taxi and the theater, closing in on opening time. From the grocery store to the car. Anytime a cigarette is preferred over a pipe or cigar. Behind the chutes where smoking is prohibited so a chaw is required. On the flight line where smoking is prohibited so a chaw or snuss is substituted. Ad infinitum.

Waza, have you ever smoked a cigarette while emptying the dottle from a pipe and loading it up for its next voyage?

Perhaps a bit of a rhetorical question…. when is a pipe unreasonable? I guess I mean…. for when a cigar or cigarette substitutes.🙂
For me it would be when I have my hands free. If I'm working it's a pipe, if not like now, it's cigarettes or chew.

Not to ruin the fun but no, not for me. I get more enjoyment from the "everything in moderation" lane. Don't get me wrong, tobacco is all sorts of fun. Could do it all day long. But, I dislike the downside so I make the pipe a periodic rather than regular thing.

I actually admire your restraint. 👍

I may not always be smoking a bowl but more often than not I have a pipe in my mouth.
I've been known to do that from time to time.
