No Electronic Devices When Smoking A Pipe

That sounds wonderful, but I'd like them to feed me after the pipe.

Absolutely, it’s the right thing to do.

Most activities benefit from not being combined with digital or other devices. For chores sometimes music or an interesting broadcast makes the work easier. But for getting outside or doing any actual recreation, avoiding the screens, phones, and other extraneous input heightens your focus, concentration, and pleasure.

I think even turning off the radio while driving can sometimes be relaxing. You can "hear" your thoughts and aren't being led in your thinking. The world is too much with us, as some poet said.

Aye I agree. There are way too many "electronic" distractions in this day and age. A pipe is like a slow walk to enjoy, never to hurry.

I’m told the less you think about your technique the better the smoke.

That's true. Also, if you want great flavor, pretend like you are hiding the fact you are smoking from the person sitting next to you. Tiny puffs, huge flavor!

I look forward to about once a week (twice and I am blessed) to sitting outside for 90 minutes sipping on one bowl of choice tobacco and reading an actual physical book that requires turning of paper pages. But be warned these are dangerous activities as you could suffer a slight burn on the skin or clothing because of the flame or receive a slicing paper cut. These activities are not for the faint of heart!

My work requires lots of reading books and writing, and smoking a pipe goes hand in hand with those two things. However, when I get the chance to not do anything and enjoy a pipe, it’s always more rewarding.

I’m just trying to hide it from myself!

Works!
