The fact that I’m soon going to be smoking a pipe at a football match, for the first time, got me thinking. I’ll bet some of you have smoked a pipe in some pretty interesting places!
So, where is/are the best place(s) you’ve smoked a pipe? Prizes probably won’t be given for the most interesting answer, but at least you’ll have entertained readers! 😄
Clenching while riding my motorcycle during the 4th of July at a festival. Behind a windshield of course!
Coolest place (no photo ☹) is on top of Mt Elbert- the highest point in Colorado 14,433 ft or 4,399 meters. Before I quite drinking we would have a champagne toast at the top of mountains. I switched to having a pipe or a cigar some years ago. Mt. Elbert was a long climb but not technical at all and I had a small pipe of something cheep and vanilla if I recall correctly- though it has been 7ish years. I have been too busy with family and work to climb since, but I am hopeful to go again soon and will make sure to get a photo next time.
I’ve been very fortunate to smoke in many really cool places, but what instantly popped into my mind was a hay field on a beautiful afternoon here in Michigan many years ago when I and a girl who became my first wife pulled off on the side of the road and went into the hay field for a quickie. Perfect moment, I definitely thought it was a cool smoking location that day.
Second coolest was also many years ago, the top railing of the cupola on top of the dome of St. Paul’s cathedral in London. Not my photo but that’s the spot.
I’ve been keeping a pipe in my flight bag.
When the plane is hangared, I enjoy a pipe under the hangar door to celebrate another success at keeping the take offs and landings in equal proportion and the landing gear more or less intact.
I really enjoy the smoke while watching other planes come and go. 😊
“Best” could mean anything, I know.
It could mean somewhere interesting, I suppose. Best memory, etc..
