What Is Your Pipe To You?

[irishsmoker]

In one of the great Sherlock Holmes stories Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote that Sherlocks pipe was like a counsel to him. A friend he could go to, to help sort out his troubles. I have much the same regard for my pipes. When I am in deep thought, or when I am frustrated, or when I just need to relax. I head straight for my cabinet or rack witch ever the case maybe and I know that I will find peace in the fact that my pipes are there for my comfort.

Mine are much like that as well. I always have a pipe after work. It helps me unwind after a long day.

My pipes are dear to me for the distraction from pain they afford me. The calming affect they have on me reduces my stress which in turn decreases my pain levels.

Like an arm or a leg, I don't use it much, but try to take it away and watch what happends :twisted:

Although being a cigarette smoker far longer that a pipe smoker, I find the pipe brings solace cigarettes never could...like a good and faithful canine buddy.

I'm afraid I'm not as introspective as some... my pipes are my pipes. No more, no less.

Pretty much the same thing as Hobie. The world is going crazy and insanity's contagious.

My pipes are my cushion when I'm between a rock and a hard place.

 

[mrenglish]

My pipes are my link to sanity, keeping what little I have left in check.

 

[nightmarejones]

My pipes are a little of all the above...relaxing,escape,deep thought and/or they look pretty and taste great.

Mine is my Relaxation

Pipes to me are contemplation, relaxation, calming. I can start a smoke upset but rarely am when I'm done. They are also a thing of beauty and function following form. I sometimes think of my pipe rack and tobacco stash as being like a fine restaurant where I'm handed a menu - I get to chose what I want to eat but also the knife and fork I am going to use.
