Is it the pipe or tobacco that's relaxing?

[sittingbear]

Yes.

 

[bigpond]

Whichever one contains more nicotine, I suppose.

 

[iamn8]

It's the benzodiazepine laced tobacco that's relaxing.

 

[hextor]

i think its both, its like it puts me in a trance for a little bit.

 

[paddypiper]

I think it's more the whole experience of it that ends up being relaxing for me. It doesn't seem to matter which pipe or which tobacco. It could also be that most times when I smoke a pipe I actually get to sit down and take a break, so that could also be the reason for the whole experience being relaxing.

 

[toobfreak]

Maybe what's relaxing about smoking a pipe are the things it takes you away from when your smoking it! :mrgreen:

 

[theloniousmonkfish]

Nicotine.

 

[ophiuchus]

So ... the pipe and the tobacco are only two constituents of a much larger set that result in the experience.
:wink:
Oh, yeah ... and whatever warren says.

Nicotine in proper amount and peaceful evening moments, thats what I have found to be most relaxing and rewarding
