As I've posted before, I smoke on the commode.

Nice meer!After smoke I just take a tooth brush and brush the ash away and put a papertowl in the bowl some and stick other end of the toothbrush(handle) in the middle and try to put all the paper in the bowl and twist it with that brush several times...it is a tight fit so bowl get cleaned quite good....I clean my briars this way too....I hold my meerschaum like a cigar-by the stem....I do not touch it during smokes...Your IMP seems easy to hold by the stem right on the silver collar...I use glove to hold the pipe when cleaning it but its not nessesary..during smokes bowl is quite hot outside...my IMP looks like yours with just a more bent in it..smokes like a dream...Once you finish a bowl, how do you clean it? I will give it another shot and maybe the stem won't piss me off like it does now.
Here is a pick of my IMP with Silver.
Nicotine and caffeine are my ambrosia.
Get up, get dressed, pee and make coffee. Once I figure a half a pot is done I empty it into my mug. The cats waiting at the door to go stairs, I head to garage and light up whatever in my pouch.
Something like that each morning. Lol

Same here. I'm absolutely positive that none of the strangers here give a flying 'F' what my morning pipe-smoking rituals are. I don't even care.
Then you need to give me a 'like' and a virtual hug
The truth is - I have no ritual that involves pipes. I smoke a pipe whenever the mood hits me - it might be if I wake up at 2:00 in the morning.
But I do have morning rituals (since you, @Richmond B. Funkenhouser , care. Each morning between 5:45 and 7:15 I feed my dog, then clean the kitchen top to bottom, then put a pot of water on to boil for a large cup of 1/2 Twinings Irish Breakfast tea, 1/2 something similar and decaf. I add two spoons of sugar and some 30% cream and then drink it while checking a few things on the internet. I then typically do a double-snort of a mentholated snuff and then might go sit on the front porch and smoke a small bowl of a straight Virginia, or I load the pipe for a dog-walk and pour the tea into a paper cup.
As of today, since some heart specialist sent me a monitor (no email, no letter, 5 months after seeing my doctor, who also never communicated) and I want to mess with him as best I can, I'm doing a 3-mile jog after the above is completed. Not sure how that will affect when I do the snuff and pipe.
You guys got your morning rituals but I just can't make myself to wake up early to justify any rituals....wake up,put a clothes on and drive to work..coffee at the gas station...I would rather use a morning time to sleep a little longer....But during periods of time when I am not working- between jobs I still sleep longer but rarely smoking a pipe in the morning..
He has a huge belly from eating more than he needs. You don't get that from smoking. Lol.
Place pipe in bag of tobacco, fill chamber with finger, remove pipe from bag, light pipe, open eyes.
You don't remove your finger?!?
How do you think I keep it lit? Skin is more flammable than tobacco.
nope no connection.
I've been a smoker for 31 years, am 48 years old, and have never weighed more than 125 pounds. As much as I smoke I should weigh 600 pounds.
That's because they eat more to compensate the oral fixation. I'm constantly eating as well as smoking.
I wish. I'm on meal 9 since getting up. 6 eggs bacon and sausage.
you might eat more or feel more of a press to eat sooner. But it's more on the level of makes it easier to eat less if you want then totally killing the urge
The questions you ask really don't point to rituals.
Some perform pipe loading or lighting operations that may be rituals, morning, noon and night. Others do not claim any type of ritual ever.
When I smoke before breakfast, I load one of many English blends into a pipe of any size. If I don't finish then it's all good later or even the next day or three.
Meers are neither better or worse for a quick, medium or long smoke.
