It is the ritual of it isn't it, including the aroma and flavor, the sensuousness of the smoke, the flame, the ash...the whole damn ritual of it that I simply love...and the pipe? Another ritual...see what Catholic school does to a person...smiling.
Agree totally my friend, it is an art.

So I had tried one a few years back and greatly enjoyed it myself, even finding the blend my grandfather enjoyed. It's still something of an art that I'm learning how to smoke it so I get no bite or the pipe doesn't get too hot (I have to remember it's a slow enjoyment like sipping a wine or whiskey).
