Sleeping With a Pipe

[cosmicfolklore]

In a discussion at the B&M the other day, We were all recalling stories and laughing about people we knew from our family or friends that would fall asleep with a pipe in their mouth.

My Uncle Leon would fall asleep in his Lazy Boy recliner, on the couch, or just laying on a porch swing with pipe sticking up, snoring, and smoke just a drizzling out of his mouth, and eventually he'd wake up bright eyed when he'd suck ash into his mouth. He'd just wake up, repack it, light it up, and fall back to sleep.
I have never fallen asleep with a pipe in my mouth, and I don't think I could. But, does anyone else have a story about someone they knew who slept with a pipe? Or, can any of you admit to doing this? Just curious... ::

Ha! I think my great-grandfather would do that too, right in his arm chair.

I admit that I hope to be able to do this one day.

Big fire hazard. Don't do it.

I can ,I do this all the time but never in bed. ::

Your thread title made me think you were taking our hobby to the next level...
I think you'd have to be a true clincher in order to fall asleep with a pipe in your mouth.

Did it a couple of weeks ago. Laying on my couch. Smoking some plum pudding out of a country gentleman. I was tired and i just kinda fell asleep for about 30 minutes. When i awoke, the bowl was cashed. Kind of a weird experience.

Yeah, what MSO said, it would suck to burn your house down! Cigarette users do it all the time from taking a cig to bed, never heard of a piper doing it yet!

I don't think my Aunt would have let him smoke in bed. He just smoked everywhere else, lol. But, yeh, it requires an amazing skill of clenching. I tend to snore with my mouth open, so I'd burn the heck out of myself.
Funny though, I just remember him with his head back and pipe up, ha ha!

When I worked at the local B&M back in college, we had a retired gent that used to hang out in the lounge all day. We often joked that he probably showered with a pipe in his mouth. He'd often doze off while smoking and keep instinctively puffing away. I hope I can one day be so talented

Can't imagine having that level of comfort with a pipe. Smoking for me still requires a conscious effort to keep the bowl lit and pacing myself so it doesn't get too hot ::

Oops, double post

Come on by my house and I can put you to sleep with your pipe in your mouth or holding it in your hand. I can nod off for an hour or two religiously.

I fall asleep with the pipe in hand. Sometimes it drops, sometimes it gets damaged.

Hand yes, not in my mouth yet.....dangerous stuff. Not so much worried about it in my hand, it will go out before it ever drops...

How odd that this thread was created today. Yesterday I made the mistake of loading a pipe and sitting in the recliner for the smoke. Honest to god.. I fell asleep before I could light the thing. Yes, the pipe WAS in my mouth.

I have to agree with GT.. by the title I was worried about you.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Maybe we channeled you pipe dream at the briary yesterday, ha ha!!

@johnnyiii, I guess this is why chamber size is important for some guys, lol.
