Social or Anti-Social Pipe Smoker?

[jewman22]

Pipes are anti-social for me.
Only social smoking I do is shooting Skeet or Sporting Clays, and it's always a Cigar.

I' m both but I smoke alone mostly with the occasional group smoke.

Definitely a reflective solitary smoker - both pipes and cigars. Though that is my default preference I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the occasional social smoke with friends in the yard.

Pipes are fine with very very close friends.

What I don't expect to hear from pipe smokers but will hear from cigar smokers is that uppity talk meant to show off supposed knowledge. "I'm an expert about cigars. This brand is better than that brand, ...."

When pipe smokers are with each other they just smoke.

This. %100. I love pipe smokers.

I probably prefer to smoke solo in order to focus on all the fun and quirky aspects of the tobacco and lighters and pipe etc. But I also love smoking with others, especially if they have McClellands to share... which they never do.

I am introverted and prefer to smoke by myself. I wouldn't mind sharing with some friends, but most don't smoke or smoke nasty cigarettes. I mostly enjoy a nice MM corn cob driving to work or if I have time during the day a Peterson briar. Currently rotate smoking Boswell Courtryside, Macbaren Latakia Rolls, and Escudo.

I wouldn't mind smoking with others, but the reality is that I mostly smoke by myself. I find cigars more conducive to social smoking somehow.

The versatility of the pipe is that it can serve as a bridge to social interaction AND to meditative reflection.
This may also help to preserve its lifespan. It has mine!

I absolutely enjoy smoking with the brothers but don't enjoy the flavor nearly as much as alone and have to relight about 20 times as often.

Well said. +1
