***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***

[Tate]

Rough night of sleeplessness. Bayou morning Flake in a J Davis. I’m back to really working hard to sip my pipe and be conscious of my smoking technique. I’m prone to smoking way too fast and hot. I’d made progress on this initially but felt myself slipping back into old ways which could potentially damage my now very precious pipe collection. Just focusing on sipping seems to keep the smoke cool.

Don’t underestimate the damage smoking fast and hot can do to your pipes! It is worth working on if you are like me and care more about my pipe collection then most things.

Paradoxical in an Eltang. Trying to get motivated to do something other then sit here and smoke. I love this pipe.

Been reading the "Who has a job they love?" thread over my morning coffee and a bowl of Mark Twain in my Legend.


I'll catch up on Ways now, have a better one!

I often have to remind myself that I smoke a pipe to relax. I have ruined many pipes, I like the ones I have, so I often smoke "in the moment", with nothing distracting me from my pipe.

Definitely! What brought it to my attention was how slow I was going on the first smoke for a couple of refreshed Marxmans I got.

Thanks, one of my favs as well! Volcanos are a cool shape and who better to craft one then Jeff Gracik.

Yes, it takes a little consciousness and focusing on smoking rather then smoking and doom scrolling.
