Do You Associate Pipe Smoking with a Sense of Spirituality?

[proteus]

I'll second the deep comfort vibe.

And the seeming lack of mosquitos when smoking a fantastic burley on a cool autumn evening.

I'm not Catholic but I found an arcticle by David Mosley to be interesting on this very subject. In it he notes:

"It is this pace and this practice (of packing, lighting and attending too a pipe) that makes pipe smoking a welcome companion to contemplation."

Good read.
Thanks for posting that.

The only time I related smoking to spiritually was while parking with a female and smoking some nicotine afterwards.

I’m a deacon in the Orthodox Church and enjoy a delicious pipe most every day. It’s certainly not “spiritual” or “religious,” but piping certainly relaxes and clears my mind that few past times do. On Sundays after the Divine Liturgy, I may pipe with a few guys from our parish, watching birds flutter down from the hills. Few things I enjoy more than fellowship with other men around a pipe in God’s creation.
