ssjones: Yeah..it is nice to break away liek that and enjoy the peace and quiet. Its amazing how comforting a pipe can be based on the location you are in. I sit and think of home and the things Im going to do when I get home. Its great escapism for an hour or so.
I get in say hello to my partner, then my dog. Pack a pipe while the other half makes me a coffee, the fire up a pipe. If it's after a night shift I have a pipe or two then hit the hay, if it's a day shift I smoke, eat then take the dog out
