Smoking activity?

[harrumphicus]

I have never (so far) been a true pipe-smoker, though I used to keep a bag of drug-store 'baccy for when I ran out of sticks and couldn't afford to buy more. Other than those occurrences, I'd MAYBE have a bowl a week when I needed some relaxing to get to sleep. I know over my years of smoking cigarettes, I tend to associate smoking with certain activities; after I wake up, after a meal, when I complete a task at work, driving, etc.. I have two questions to pose.
Firstly, do you think you associate smoking with certain activities in your day-to-day? If so, what are your favorite "activity triggered" bowls?
Secondly, and I may be wrong, but it seems that having a pipe can be a pseudo-religious experience at times, i.e. so-and-so is in (insert happy or sad situation), light up your best pipe and 'baccy for him/her! What are your thoughts on this?

I tend to smoke after I eat, simply because I prefer smoking on a full stomach. I also am usually at the computer or reading when I do so, although I do smoke on long drives when I am alone in the car.

Smoking a pipe or a good cigar, however, can also be a wonderful contemplative activity. It's pleasant and relaxing. And any sort of activity that is relaxing is a good thing, in my book. ::

I also like to smoke after a big meal, or any meal that is. However, I really enjoy walking with my pipe. When I walk without it, I find I'm more into a fast past walk, but with it, I really enjoy what's around me, our local parks by the water, trails etc, I take it all in. For myself, I don't NEED to smoke, even though I think about it all day when I'm not. I just enjoy to smoke. I find it's a down time from my stressful work. There is a special nostalgia with it, that brings me back to days of old, everytime I light one up. Enjoy your pipe.
