Smoke got once into my eyes. I was smoking my favorite meerschaum with Rattrays Black Mallory. My reaction made the pipe fall and the stem broke. I cried for two weeks...
Smoke. Nothing Else.

Okay, you got me. I also regret the demise of gentlemanly thought and action.
Smoke rings are smokey! I like them but can only make them by smoking in a circle
There seems at times to be a sentiment here that the “proper” way to smoke a pipe is to have virtually NO smoke noticeable ever.
My take on the subject is that...... both “virtually no smoke” smoking sessions..... and “voluminous” smoking sessions have their value and place. I happen to do both.... so my opinion should probably not come as a surprise. ?
For me, the “virtually no smoke” sessions arise when I tend to be feeling more quiet and contemplative. And, for me, the “voluminous” sessions arise more when I am active, doing something more action oriented, often outdoors, or talking a lot.
For me, both are enjoyable.... in different ways.

When I was in the Army, there were several phases of smoke that we went through. As privates, we got smoked constantly, for doing the kind of dumb stuff that privates always do. After some maturity, authority, and rank, I started being the one administering the smokings. After yet more seasoning, I got to the point where I would direct others to administer the smokings. At that point, I could pop smoke, and not have to be part of the smoke sessions any more. There were times where we'd smoke those soldiers in a room called "the hot box", and it'd get so smokey the walls would sweat.
A great practical joke would be to make the new cats go take exhaust samples off the hmmwv tailpipe, or even worse, off a Bradley exhaust. If that was going down, the driver would certainly start up the smoke generator and asphyxiate the poor bastards, good times.
A real bummer was having to monitor the burn pit, or stir the burn ****ters. That's the kind of smoke you best not inhale, especially when you hear the bugs poppin'.

I like smoke and since I retro hale most of the time I create a decent amount of smoke that goes through my nose. If I want to blow smoke rings, that creates a pretty good amount of smoke. I don't breath smoke as I get little to no flavor that way.
You know the definition of a Virgin in Kentucky, right? That's a 13 year old girl that can outrun her brothers and 1st cousins.
best part of pipe smoking is.... smoking. I like many types of tobacco but honestly the best part isn't the nuances or the flavor but the act of smoking and it's little pluses are just that little pluses.
What if the champagne bubbles were filled with smoke?!
I thought it was someone from their neighboring state?
Puffing smoke is half my enjoyment. The other halves are room note, flavor, relaxation, and companions.
This is getting too philosophical. Or maybe it's emotional. I get them confused, but that doesn't matter. Let's get back to just being smokey. You're smokey. I'm smokey. Everybody is smokey.
