I live in a world of non-smokers - my wife, kids, neighbors, friends, colleagues... The only place I can puff unabashedly without complaint is when alone sitting on the porch, doing yard work or in my vehicle. My man-cave in the garage /workshop is damp & freezing these days.
But I've learned to smoke around others without notice. Once the bowl is well lit in the garage, I maintain an even smoulder with nary a wisp. I can charge through my errands, pipe clenched, conversing & being the father figure.
And when the need arises to prevent extinguishing the pipe, I'll draw on it ever so lightly and be rewarded with intense tobacco flavor. The resultant smoke can easily be missed in a room, even one with the windows shut. Given a decent sized room. And so in this manner a group 3 bowl of Pirate Kake can take a good hour and a half to go thru. Most people think I have a clenched unlit pipe. But, truth be told, it is lit and performing very nicely, thank you.
I had a grandfather that did that in the 60s. People said they didn't think his pipe was lit. But I'd catch him walking past an open window, taking a deep draw, before he went back to inaudible sipping.
Anyways - anyone else ever do this? Puff a pipe so lightly and slowly that others around you think you're not smoking a pipe?
