Pipe Zen - A Thread Based in Appreciation

[Branzig]

My pipe Zen is all over the board.

It could have nothing to do with even smoking a pipe. I love restoring estates and preserving history...so just simply working on an old pipe, repairing it, hand sanding and buffing the stems....it is all very relaxing and rewarding to me. Doing it with a pipe in mouth is just an added bonus.

During the spring/summer, often times a pipe can be found in my mouth while out gardening. Another relaxing hobby.

There is of course hanging out with my brother and enjoying some fine brews or bourbons while working our way through many bowls...usually well into the early early hours of the morning.

Then of course there are the quiet moments when I can be alone, usually either writing or reading a book. Nothing beats the tranquility and relaxation of a man lost in his own thoughts with a pipe firmly clenched in his jaw.

I guess this is what I meant, I titled the thread "Pipe Zen" because this is the pipe side of the forum and I often reminisce while smoking.
if getting your hands a little dirty, or just shootin the shit with your buddies is what you like (no smoking required) I'd still like to hear about it.

You reminded me of a night about a year or so ago that my big brother, an avid beer brewer and hobbyist had his first pipe with me. It was so refreshing to talk about nuance and technique whether it be dedicating pipes for certain blends or different mashing styles for brewing/distilling. That was a really cool night..for me at least...to just sit around the fire and spend time drinking brews with my brother. Good stuff.

That is what it is all about my brother. Relaxing and spending time with others. Nothing beats it.

And if you don't have craft brews to share with your buds, always remember, cobs and 40's are the most Zen-ful thing on this Earth.

We should all get together for a forum meet n greet but play that! To mix it up we have to clench a pipe the whole time.
...after 80 ounces of beer and a bowl of tobacco I think we'd all make friends rather quickly.
