First Pipe of the Day?

[Simmerdown☕️]

I live by night so my first bowl is usually around 4:30 pm. It’s usually Haunted Bookshop in a cob & always accompanied with a strong, dark, black ️. The combo is so right with what is good in the world.?

Around 5-6 pm or so. When I get home from work and after dinner.

I usually wake up between 6:30-7:15 or so. I have a medication I take each morning where I am not supposed to eat, drink or smoke until 30 minutes after taking it. So between 30-60 minutes after I wake up is generally when I have my first smoke, with coffee or an energy drink. Always something fairly stout, though my nicotine tolerance and needs have decreased in the past few months. I used to require stuff like the Gawith's dark flakes or Bold Kentucky. Now I can get away with medium-strong blends like Pease's Triple Play, or C&D Haunted Bookshop, or Oak Alley, which is what I happen to he smoking this morning.

Since I work night shift I guess it would be just after 7am on the drive home.

I normally have my first coffee ready by 11:00 am so anywhere around there. I never smoke my pipe if my coffee is not ready. Some things in life just are not done. Coffee and Tobacco can't live without either of them not being ready to indulge in at the same time.

Depends on the day. If I had my druthers, 10:30 AM or so right after breakfast and coffee. Generally though, mid-afternoon, or on busy days, in the evening when we walk the dogs.

Usually around 1100 if I have breakfast. Since I only smoke a bowl a day if I smoke that early, I might have OTC in cob around 1600.

 

[Infantry23]

Usual first bowl is around 10/1030h. Varies, but that's the usual.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Around 30 minutes after I wake up.

 

[Servant King]

Usually a strong burley blend at about 0730-0800 with a cup of coffee.

That combo is strong enough to raise the dead!

 

[warren]

Usually with my first cuppa.

 

[Peter - CCB]

Pretty much as soon as I wake. Get my coffee and iPad and go out to my patio. I spend a couple hours out there watching YouTube and relaxing. Usually it’s a VaPer to start.

 

[markus]

That combo is strong enough to raise the dead!

Sometimes, it's not far from doing that very thing!

 

[UncleRasta]

First thing, with my coffee. These days it is The Amphora Burley more often than not.

 

[Paul lec]

I get up anywhere from 4-5AM, turn on the coffee, get the papers and light up usually a burley,of course with coffee.

I love smoking a huge bowl with a huge coffee - with chicory - in the morning, though this rarely happens. Incidentally, I buy pure chicory and blend with my coffee. The tin could be anything, depending on who will also take it in at some point second hand. I try to be kind.

 

[Road To Pines]

My first smoke of the day usually comes as evening descends, and often enough as midnight turns. So it turns out my first smoke of the day often happens in the dark beginning of tomorrow's day.

But once in a while I steal out to local woods at 4 or 5am, rustle through the old leaves and nestle into the crook of a hardwood tree that with its roots forms a good cradle and windblock, and slowly, coldly, dawn as the world's dawning.

The pipe's lonely ember is a companion in the looming forest dark. Wisps of sidestream and rising smoke show me that the windy fates move mysteriously -- effortlessly -- to and from.

The rising of the day's light and the rising of the smoke are both so faithful and also so different in nature, as may be our aspirations. I feel a longing to be as stable as the day and as free as the self-disappearing smoke. Embraced unfailingly by tree, earth, and morning, the longing takes on the nature of unspoken prayer.

Sweet traces of smoke. It's as if longing and the arrival of morning are not two different things.

My schedule is borderline schizophrenic. But my first pipe is about 30 minutes after waking up. The other day the first pipe was at 3:00am when I got in my truck. Today my first pipe was 7 am on my patio. Nothing I do is regimented, which has its pros and cons.

 

[B_Rock]

When I have the day off, l light up a bowl around 9:30am with coffee. On work days, my first bowl isn’t until after 5:00pm.

 

[Jaylotw]

About 30 minutes after I get up, on the porch, with tea or coffee. Usually something strong, 5brothers or Ryback.
