I worked Saturdays at my local B&M shop. I was the only real pipe smoker and after a while the pipe business noticeably picked up. I loved every minute of it. Eventually I had to give it up because weekends were the only time I really got to spend with my sons. Maybe someday that opportunity...
We have a small metal fire pit/grate currently that everyone in the family loves. Sitting around the fire enjoying my pipe is my (and the wife's) favorite. Buying a new house soon and the built in version is already in the plans.
Can't post the image right now but I loved one painting so much my (now) wife bought a recreation online for me. "Ein Forsterheim" depicts a German or Austrian man relaxing with pipe after a long day in the field
