It is very, very nice imo. I cannot pinpoint the exact flavors but there are hints of vanilla, wisps of chocolate now and then. Very light and pleasant room note. No bite at all. I got a sample from a fella I bought some pipes from on Etsy and I fell in love with the blend.

I used to like first person shooter games, however now days it just results with elevated heart beat, stress and other side effects, so today I stick to playing racing and flight games with my son.
Be that as it may I don't smoke inside or bear my son, so I haven't had the experience yet.

At work I'm a software engineer however i can only light up on the roof. Don't think others in the open office area would appreciate me smoking up the place.
I do however fantasize about being able to light up while working. Closest I get is taking my laptop roof side.

That sounds good. I'll have to pick some up next time I put in an order.
I was out on a charter fishing trip with 5 other friends for stripers the other day in the long island sound and the father/son captain/mate said I was the first one in the 30 years they had smoking a pipe on their boat.
What's better than smoking a pipe and reeling in some nice sized fish? The sea and the pipe are a match made in heaven.

Not a big gamer either, I only smoke a pipe when playing casual strategy games, where I can take my time deciding what to do.

When I think of "gaming", I think of Dungeons and Dragons type of games. Reading "The Hobbit" and the LOTR series is what got me into pipe smoking, so if I am playing D&D a few pipes and some baccy will be getting smoked.

I've seen a pipe smoker from time to time at local casinos here in Vegas playing slot machines.
I'm not a big video game person. I usually just play the NHL video game and that's it.

I would play Fallout if I could stop playing Grand Theft Auto. I don't smoke a pipe while gaming. Can't. If I.do, ill just be killed by some 12 year old while I'm ASP, Away Smoking Pipe. Lol

I smoke a pipe while playing online poker. Oddly enough, the poker room at the casino is "no smoking".
While wondering through Skyrim, I can usually keep a pipe going ... but forget Fallout! LOL

I wish I'd discovered pipe smoking when I was 18 or so. No real time for gaming these days, but it sounds sorta fun.

I live across that vast generational divide. I know people older than myself steep in technology and in gaming. But to me, it just looks like a serious nervous habit, staring at that tiny (or big) square of light for hours. The few forays I've made still sustain the feeling that whatever I'm doing with the "controls" have little bearing on "the game." If you're in that world, it is probably a good sign, that you are attuned and in synch with the digital cyber binary modes and can think that way and cope with that mindset. Just remember, it is a unique and somewhat limited view of the universe, so stay in touch with the human and natural world otherwise. I do smoke while chatting on Forums, however. Somehow, that doesn't count.
