The following is an exert from an article on The Art of Manliness written by Bryan Schatz. I really enjoyed the article and feel that he has put into words how I truly feel about pipe smoking and how the Pipe community has become. I will be posting a video soon expressing my feelings on the subject, but for now enjoy.
"Pipe smoking is the oldest form of smoking tobacco, developed during an era in which men would make time to sit at the end of a hard day’s toil, to rock back and forth in their favorite chair and observe the rotation of life. They had an understanding that prolonged satisfaction is greater than the immediate and fleeting gratification we have a tendency to seek today. A pipe is a man’s companion, his smoky warmth on a crisp winter day and the friend with which he watches the passing of time. A pipe requires patience. It instills calmness, observation, and contemplation.
A pipe is best enjoyed from the stoop thrones of rocking chairs, beneath the shade of patio roofs and in the absence of unnecessary noise."
