The International Lunting Society

[mso489]

On principle, I really enjoy walking with a pipe, but I mostly smoke a pipe indoors. My walks usually last longer than a bowl of tobacco, and a bowl tends to burn faster when you are out walking because of the breeze or wind. A slow saunter is best of smoking a pipe, whereas a more brisk walk is better for exercise. I do enjoy the challenge of lighting or relighting a pipe in the wind, using trees, berms or other obstacles to block the wind. It is almost a sport to itself. Walking is even better for mind-tripping; you have creative ideas, remember things you have to do that you'd forgotten, and generally stimulate your mind. You get a slightly different mind trip when you smoke a pipe, which also demands attention.

I’ve tried it several ways, but also find that walking doesn’t exactly match with my pipe. I now tend to walk out to somewhere with a bench and a nice view of some water, sit and smoke, then walk back.

Is there a word for chewing gum while you're taking a stroll? Like Chunting? Or Gumting?

Or falling

 

[derhammer]

Yeah, I saw that. Don't think I'll be joining if I'm gonna have my address revealed. (Well, I live in a high-rise, but still...)

It is kinda strange that they ask for that. I refrained from joining for the same reason

 

[Bengel]

In all seriousness I have not tried the Lunt, respect you who have/do. I think the plip Pete would be idea. Not sure I am coordinated enough, don't drive and smoke either

 

[SpookedPiper]

Lunting, Really? I doesn't even make sense...better stroll + piping= striping!

Guys were going streaking!!!

 

[anotherbob]

There is already one in my city.... Who is this mystery person? I am also surprised to see one in Oxbow Saskatchewan

Big Foot.

Too private and too much of a solitary smoker for something like that.

Lunting society aside, I've tried lunting a few times, but the constant relights get in the way. When I go out for a walk (in the summer evenings, mind, now it's too chilly for that) I prefer a cigar.

On the public map, the only thing it shows is a member number and a zip code.

As above, too much data out there already.
Anywho, I have been “luntng” for years without knowing it had a name.
“Look Ma, I’m lunting”

 

[BROBS]

Ha.. I think it's a great idea and will most likely join.
They take your address so they can mark the zip code and if you join at a level where you receive swag, how else would they know where to send it?

A trench coat is perfect for that just tuck it over your head like a veil just have to be careful not to singe the coat. I miss my trench coat .

Walking and smoking a pipe sounds like literally the worst, to me. I’m impressed that others can do it effectively, and somehow enjoy it! The only time I walk with a pipe is if I’m at a hotel and they have a common area outside, and I have to get up and walk away from strangers who are annoying the hell out of me.

Probably more than 95% of my pipe smoking is done while walking/sauntering. Most often with the dogs. I'm walking but will stop and and sit to enjoy a nice spot or scenery. There is a pond where I particularly like to stop and smoke and contemplate. I really enjoy this part of my day. I don't have a smart phone so it is time for me to just observe and think in solitude.
That said I can not see myself joining a society for this. It is something I like to keep informal and simple. The simplicity of the activity is what I enjoy.

Well said. Thank you for painting the perfect picture of what smoking a pipe means to you.

Walking and smoking is a challenge I typically avoid. I prefer to be stationary but as Seldom said, stopping every so often to break it up sounds appealing
