What's the best part of smoking a pipe?
The relaxing time that usually accompanies the smoke. For a parent of small children, any time spent in quiet is a blessing, and with a pipe added, it’s damn near heavenly.
What's manly about smoking a pipe?
All that is manly in other activities is contained within pipe smoking.
How did you start smoking a pipe?
As a child, I always wanted to be Sherlock Holmes. While that didn’t happen, I did manage to get around to the pipe smoking part. I purposely skipped the deerstalker headgear.
What was your most interesting/funniest/compelling/whatever moment as a pipe smoker?
My time as a pipe smoker has been filled with interesting, funny, and compelling moments. The camaraderie that exists among pipe smokers is unbelievable. Smoking a pipe has put me in touch with many like minded individuals; those who do not smoke a pipe would not believe that a small chunk of carved briar could be the cause of such bond building and merry making.
