Lately I usually think about what I won't smoke. Trying to weed out years of wrong choices. I usually just smoke a bowl in the evening. That gives me reason to space out at work all day and ponder options.
Planning For Tomorrow's Smoke.

I sometimes load up a pipe the night before, out of convenience. I’m usually the second one up in the morning, after only the dog who will wake up everyone in the house if he’s ready to go out and I’m not moving fast enough. So I pick something out, go ahead and get the coffee pot ready, and lay my pipe and lighter next to the coffee maker. Then I can get up the next morning and everything is there for me to let the dog out and have a smoke and coffee on the back porch.
I have to plan ahead for my second smoke of the day. Well third or fourth really, depending on how many small pipes I smoke on break. Because it's on the way home from work. The thing I've learned is picking the right blend doesn't matter as much as picking a good blend. So many great smokes despite thinking oh I wish I would have brought something else along. Funny thing is often that's how I'll pick my smoke for the next day. Oh I wish I would have packed (x y or z) guess that's my morning pipe.
Ok, I forgot about that. Often in the mornings I look forward to that bowl of Oriental Silk I smoke on the commute in with my first cup of coffee. That usually starts about the tone I get dressed and ready for the day.
I can’t think that far ahead when it comes to smoking. It’s more of a “Holy shit, I’ve got some time to smoke! Crap, what do I feel like smoking and in what? Lessee...lessee...hmmm...”
Lately I’ve been enjoying sneaking out into the studio first thing to slice off some plug/twist and rub it out. When I get home from doing the school run it’s waiting there, begging my immediate attention
I think about what I want to smoke next but in reality my mood and palate change too much for me to truly plan. Plus I have a 2 year old daughter who takes up my time and she comes before smoking so even if I feel like smoking I can't always enjoy my pipe.
I don't smoke with the grandchildren around at the house.
Sometimes I pack a pipe the day or night before, but until I do that, there's usually no advance plan. I like my choice of pipe and blend to feel spontaneous in a relaxed way. Since I smoke about a bowl a day, sometimes less, it's pretty low-key.
