Favourite Dad Moments as a Pipe Smoker?

[anotherbob]

Yes, and some of the ones who had "great parents" managed to turn out worse.

the worst though are the ones with crap parents that refuse to see it. And think they had great parents. They don't even try to heal or deal with it.

He knows what he is doing. Not even a whisp of smoke

I started smoking a pipe when my two sons were in elementary school. They say they don't really remember me not smoking my pipe. My oldest is 24 and my youngest is 22. I was a cigarette smoker for years since middle school. I quit cold turkey. I didn't start smoking a pipe regularly until four years after I quit. My youngest said that the smell of Prince Albert reminds him of me. Prince Albert and Old Spice aftershave is my trademark smell. My youngest used to call my pipe "Daddy's Pip" lol. My oldest son has been buying me a pipe for my birthday, Christmas and Father's Day. He has been doing that since he was 19.

My three daughters pursed cigarettes in their younger years. They have all been weaned of the pernicious habit. My son was in his twenties, and he wanted to try cigar smoking. Didn't last too long at that. He dabbled a time or two with a pipe but that didn't stick either. I generally don't smoke around them particularly the girls. They didn't get their cigarette smoking from me, but I don't want to be the cause of them returning to it.

2yrs. ago when my 2 granddaughters ages 12 and 9 pooled their allowances for the year because they wanted Pawpaw to have a new pipe for his birthday.

No memorues, here. We were blessed with "that boy" as other parents and family regarded him, born wild. I chose to give pipes and cigars up for some years because there was very little time for sedentary reflection. We had a lot of fun, no peace, and extraordinary stress, but although it was a constant challenge I do consider the whole experience a blessing. He's a teenager now and doing well in spite of a few remaining developmental issues which we expect him to conquer. I guess that's my best memory... we made it. We showed up and parented a Tasmanian Devil successfully (so far). Now when I smoke a couple of bowls I know I've earned them.
