If your new bride is in favor of your pipe smoking, you are farther along down the road than many of the members here. Congratulations and enjoy both, hopefully for a lifetime!
My understanding from the radio show interview is that you actually got your wife to try a pipe. Now THAT'S a secret to marital bliss that I'd love to figure out how to do!
Thanks for the kind words everyone! My wife and I are enjoying a pipe right now, actually. Not only did I get her to try it, but she smokes semi-regularly now. Lucky, aren't I? ::
