Reading a good book. I tend to go for history of biography as truth is far stranger than fiction. Or maybe sipping my favorite adult beverage (too many to list here) while listening to jazz or classical music or even Prairie Home Companion.

I enjoy my pipe if I am sitting still, with strong, black coffee or tea. I was in Branson, Mo. this past weekend and decided to go walking Sunday night on the strip. I took my pipe and held it for a while before deciding to light it. I like the aroma even when not lit. After lighting, I took no pleasure in trying to smoke the pipe with sweat rolling off my nose and working up a good pant while walking in the heat. I would much rather find a quiet place, like my back deck, and sit while enjoying each puff. I am anxiously awaiting fall so I can really relax and enjoy those cool Arkansas evenings while adding some nice vanilla tobacco smoke in the air for my neighbors to enjoy. :)

i live on a little piece of land set back from the main road...my favorite thing to do is set up a coleman chair in the driveway, grab a hot or cold tea, turn on the radio or a good audiobook and watch the road/pond. so relaxing.

not right now, but give me a day or two and i'll try to snap one. have to see if the dogs will stay still long enough too - that always adds to the feeling.

I haven't been puffing a pipe for very long, but since I started the weather has been mild here in New England so I've been enjoying my pipe outside in the evenings. I listen to the crickets and the cicadas, I listen to the breeze and watch the trees sway and I look at the sky (clouds or stars - weather depending).
Last night I smoked a bowl before and after a session with my telescope. It really seemed to deepen the whole experience.
We have critters who sometimes visit me in the evening; hungry raccoons, friendly skunks. Last night it was a shy young possum.

I enjoy music, primarily from the '60s and early '70s. I have to admit though, that groups like the Moody Blues and Jefferson Airplane tend to bring back memories of times when the pipe wasn't briar and it didn't hold tobacco.

Conversation. I'm fortunate to have a brother who is also a pipe smoker. I moved recently to Florida and he's still back in Maine. I miss the great talks we had while having a bowl together.
I'm also blessed to have a wife who puts up with the smoke and will join me outside. It's always a good talk.

unclearthur has got the right picture, after I realized that carving while smoking made me forget I was even smoking, I switched to cleaning up some estate pipes I just bought! I have decided that I now love bulldogs, I picked up three this week! (I am going to gift two of them though)

This very pretty little Viprati arrived last week a day late for my birthday. Spent about 5 minutes cleaning the tar off the rim and polished up the stem and it was ready to go.

The few times that I do absolutely nothing while smoking my pipe can be the best of all.

You know... just letting the ol' brain housing group rest, as well the body and soul.

Fishing. Theres nothing like sitting in the sun smoking a bowlful of something mild and watching the ice melt in your rum and coke, all the while hoping that a fish doesnt actually bite.
