Favorite TIme of Day to Smoke

[jeff59]

I always really enjoyed a pipe at the end of the day, even in the dark, outside on my porch or at dusk. Lately because of schedule changes, I am up early and usually start the day as the sun comes up with a good bowlful as I do the needed chores before work. Nothing like some burley when your outside watching the sun come UP. I was wondering if any of you have your favorite time of day to enjoy your pipe? Inside or outside?

I too enjoy the early morning bowl. I listen to the birds announce the sunrise over the Green Mountains and sit with a cup of espresso. During the day, I'll smoke while fiddling around the yard or shop, and at night, I'll end the day on the porch watching the stars.

Currently I only smoke in the evening after the sun goes down; still fighting the mosquitoes, but at least I'm not dying in the heat. I have smoked a few times indoors with my widows open and giant fan on since no one in my family wants smoke in the house--still feel slightly guilty about this but War Dept. hasn't complained (yet). Really looking forward to October/November when it gets down to the 50s-60s. Once that happens, then I'll be smoking every weekend afternoon on my balcony with a beer, wine, spirit, or cup of tea--whichever sounds good at the time.

All day. The benefit of being retired.

Outside right as night falls. I like watching the bats and my kids are still at age that they enjoy they run around catching fireflies and making sharp pointy stabby things out of sticks.
I just like sitting there in a yard chair and watching them with a cup of coffee and a pipe.

I like the evening most, followed by early morning. I don't do the morning as often, primarily on weekends. Always outside.

If I didn't have to work it would be the mornings, but I really love having a pipe in the late afternoon when I get home to finish work on my laptop. It's like the end of the work day reward. Always a bummer if I miss it.

Lately I like mornings the most, with a cup of coffee - on the back deck when its sunny, on the covered porch when it's raining. However, I also look forward to the first smoke after work (I don't get a chance to smoke during the day).

Early AM w/side of coffee...while viewing PM.com

After dinner early evening hits the spot. Early morning quiet outside with a cup a joe is not far behind.

Anytime Jeff! But like you I find the late evening best. Everyone else in bed, the day's work done, all quiet. Usually in the outhouse - just me and the dog - with a bowlful of Black Bogie or Black XX in an easy-smoking Peterson. Just contemplating the tobacco and the feel of the bowl - "A Pipe is for thinking" (JRR Tolkien)

in the evening when it's dark and cool and the stars are out. minimal light breeze and the wife and kid are already in bed

 

[plateauguy]

No doubt about it - end of the day, after dinner, sitting by the pool listening to the quiet.

I smoke all day and night so it is all good. I normally get in 4 bowls a day and then some days 5. I am pretty much retired so I have the time.

My favorite time is probably after the evening meal, sometimes as much as an hour later, as a sort

of dessert. My second favorite is late afternoon or early evening before the evening meal. (I'm dancing

around the supper and dinner language since it means different things in different areas.) I'm not much

of a morning smoker. (My dad used to say he got up in the morning to have his first bowl of tobacco,

but that was only after a sturdy breakfast and coffee.) I smoke mostly indoors, in my study, but actually

prefer to smoke outdoors on the porch or walking. I like to smoke on the porch without a light on, with

the night noises as they change seasonally. I smoke one or two bowls a day, and skip days, though if I

am on a binge, as while working on a project, I can smoke four or five bowls a day, but not often. In those

cases, I always shift pipes with each bowl, and tobaccos.

My favorite smokes are in the morning and in the evening. If I have the time I will smoke in the afternoon as well. I usually smoke in the backyard. Enjoying my scenic views. But if its too hot or too buggy, Ill smoke in my newly transformed man cave. Once the winter comes Im sure Ill exclusively smoke in the cave.

I like the end of the day, once the kids are in bed and the wife and I can sit on the back deck and enjoy the sunset with a nice bowl and a nice drink. Enjoy the quiet sounds of nature and relax before a shower and bed.

 

[joeahearn]

Without a doubt, my favorite smoke of the day (and the only one I am sure to get in) is first thing in the morning, right after a light breakfast, with coffee. My wife is usually with me, so I usually smoke an aromatic, but that's OK. I don't even want to contemplate trying to wake up without caffeine and nicotine.

 

[sparrowhawk]

That early morning smoke to get my engine going, and late evening when everything is quiet.

My favourite is probably after dinner as the sun sets and it gets dark, I love watching the light change and seeing all the bats, owls etc start to come out. That said early morning is pretty decent as well.
