Not weird, just a preference. I pretty much only like to smoke when I’m doing something.I may be weird, but I don't like smoking the pipe while doing other activities. Guess I just don't multi-task very well. I don't even like smoking it while I'm out for a walk. My preference for pipe smoking is sitting on the patio and puffing on it while I contemplate life. I might have some music going in the background, but that's about the only distraction I can handle while smoking.
