Favorite pastime while pipe smoking.

[hauntedmyst]

My uncle who was more like a grandpa to me while I was growing up was the one who got me into pipe smoking. The whole time I knew him, he had "his" chair. It was Uncle Jim's chair. It was the most comfortable chair and he had a table next to it with all his pipes lined up. Its where he sat and smoked his pipes or cigars and watched TV and read. When ever he got up, one or more of us kids would jump in it and when he got back, we got a pants warming - which meant we were picked up and tossed on the couch and tickled. While one of us was getting tossed, another one of my siblings or cousins would jump in his chair and the whole thing would start all over until he had 3 or 4 of us pinned down giggling and promising not to jump in his chair any more.
Recently, I dragged an old comfy chair out of the basement on to our screened in porch and made my own chair. My wife got me some baskets to put my P&T's in and another one to hold my pipe stuff. So lately, my favorite thing to do while smoking is to sit in my chair and smoke my pipe and read or watch TV. And if either of my kids jumps in my chair, they get a pants warming.

I like smoking while at the golf range, or reading on my patio. Oh yeah, I forgot skydiving :}-~

seriously, it is sitting on the deck with the headphones on listening to music from the iPod.
also taking the boat out and doing some low key fishing by myself.
once I get the dirt bike plated for street use, it will be nice to go way off-road and find a place to rest and take a puff or two.

I sit on the porch and stare down at Great American ballpark while I listen to the broadcast and keep my own score sheet sometimes. Most times I just like to be alone and quiet.

Right on. God gave us everything we needed.

for the most part my favorite thing to do while smoking a pipe is to sit around the local pipe shop with the guys and complain about the state of the world, taxes, politics, and of course discuss various tobaccos, cigars, alcohol and pipe makers.

For me reading a book or watching a good movie. Been watching the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series and that has encouraged a good bit of pipe smoking in me of late.

Great choice in quality TV Thom.

Lately I have been reading and practicing Chess tactics.

The pipe affords a calm clarity of thought that goes well with the analysis of Chess strategy.

75% of the time reading a book, and the balance would be watching a movie or writing stuff for the site.

Lawrence, have you been watching the Brett series on NetFlix ? Netflix was worth it's price imo, just to watch those series. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Return Of Sherlock Holmes, and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. I was bummed out when I had seen the last one. It is a great period for gentlemen. I love the horses, too.

One pastime I am enjoying recently is walking through public places, with a cool pipe, and a good smelling blend, and watching the peoples puzzled expressions, and smiles. Most people, still expect to see a very old gent with a pipe. I enjoy spreading the word, that pipes are for everyone.

Me to dunedain didnt want it to end. I watched all the series now i watched the last movie last night. Brett managed to act just like the Sherlock Holmes i had imagined when reading the books and i really didnt want it to be over with so soon.

 

[dunendain]

Yeah Brett was great, and in the last few movies he was terribly ill. He was a trooper. He also is a tough act to follow.

Jeremy Brett is my favorite Sherlock Holmes.
The last movie to hit the theaters was a POS.

 

[dunendain]

You got that shot right, pistol.

I like to read while smoking the briar, and I have a new bird feeder which the birds seem to ignore....or I could say also that I watch birds....now I just watch FOR birds.

I love to read or watch movies but my favorite thing to do is watch nature especially at night especially when the crickets are chirping.

I like to sit at night and just soak in the peace. Unfortunately, it's getting cold, so now I tend to sit in my room and smoke while on the forums, or while playing some sort of video games with buddies. What? I think a pipe and video games actually can go well together!
