I think nicotines effect as a stress reliever might have a role in this kind of thing. There are days that arent particularly stressful for me and I can come home and load up a bowl of Montford Point Marine and smoke it all the way down and not feel much of anything. There are other days where I want to come home starting a fist fight from having a rough day, and a pipe or a cigar will really kick my ass and calm me down and ease my pain a little. Today, for instance, was a pretty lazy day. Took the little lady out for lunch, bought stuff to make dinner, came home, played Xbox for a while, cooked dinner, then ate. Nothing stressful at all, and I just took two big sniffs of some Toque Bourbon snuff and lit up a bowl of Billy Budd and didn't feel much of anything. Just one of those things I guess.
