Pipe Smoking In Bed

[BingBong]

Well, a topic to give the faint of heart the vapours, so those of a nervous disposition, look away.

It came to the crunch last night. I wanted another smoke but my body was telling me to lay down. Of normal events, I have some c*g*r*tt*s to hand, but picky picky, didn't want those.

And so, I loaded my freehand Invicta plateau with Cabbie's and took it with me. Being a messy sort of smoker, I was aware of my proclivity to ember and ash distribution, but nevertheless.

Once settled in my medical bed with the back raised, copy of "Thinking And Destiny" to hand, I sparked up. It was a really nice hour, reading and gently puffing away and, to the point, I didn't spill a drop.

That is the first time I've attempted such a feat and I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with myself. Combustion stayed where it ought, right to the bottom of the bowl rather than right to the bottom of the duvet, and I slept well thereafter.

Any other recumbent pipe smokers here?

My fiance would kill me, although I do smoke in the house and in the car... so maybe I'll test the boundaries LOL

Sounds very enjoyable. The air-purifier we run at night for my wife's allergies would not be pleased if I tried this...

 

[coming to_falling too]

Yes I do this as well. Moreso on the sofa though when I'm laying down for a nap or to relax.

It didnt work out well for Jack Cassidy!

I remember with my first wife, if I smoked Havana cigars in the double bed. She liked that characteristic smell. With my second wife, it would be the end. The only thing I recommend is a fire extinguisher nearby.

My dad set a few beds on fire in his last months. They always got the fire put out, but it did become a nuisance. He couldn't move very fast, and he was always half out of it. That was when we decided it was time for the nursing home.
But, I am not suggesting that it is time for you to go to a Nursing home, but you might want to be aware that others... jus' sayin'
Be careful.

Cigs and Naugahyde™ and alcohol... a recipe for disaster!

I'm not much of a lounger, but maybe the couch would be a better place to recline while smoking. Usually they don't have as much sheets and fru fru on them to catch fire.

I do this often enough. I used to smoke cigarillos in bed. There were a few times when i'd wake up with a hole in the sheet and dig 1/2 a cigarillo from the "sleeping nest" only to finish it off in the morning. Nowadays it's not rare for me to take my final pipe to bed and finish it off in the low light environment to get the melatonin going. I've only once thus far dropped my pipe while passing out. My biggest fear would be to wake up with a meerschaum in my sheets and have it go flying only to get damaged on the concrete slab when i fling the sheets off to get up in the morning. Simple solution: only take briars to bed. :P

Since I only smoke outdoors, this would present some significant logistical hurdles to overcome.

Wait... your bed is a concrete slab? That's some tough MF'er right there.

Is your bedroom equipped with a sprinkler system ?

 

[WVOldFart]

Maybe you should invest in some asbestos pajamas.

I usually have a bottle of water or a can of San Pellegrino aranciata next to me - in extreme circumstances, they would be useful!

 

[dd57chevy]

I don't want to sound A-retentive , but it might not be a good idea to advocate smoking in bed on a public forum .
Could there be a lawyer or two monitoring us as I type....... ?

No offence Bing .

 

[bpinkstaff]

Love the idea! Other than wife throat punching me!

 

[The Libertine]

I tend to doze off while in bed reading at night so this wouldn't be something I'd try.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Hell, I have waken up in a midnight rainstorm on the back deck with my half smoked pipe in my hand. It would not be smart for me to smoke in bed. I smoke especially high nicotine blends at night to help me sleep. I would be dead the first night.

I don't sleep ON the concrete, but im speaking of the bedroom in my shop where i find myself more and more often as i get older. 1200sf concrete slab. I simply did a faux finish paint job on the floors in the developed spaces (bedroom/smoking lounge/bathroom) for ez clean up. But i do smoke 5 brothers, Tambolaka, Rustica and brown and black ropes. Maybe people will still think i'm a tough guy. Or at least a legend in my own mind.
