Are you a morning or an evening smoker?

With the old job it was evenings only during the week and on weekends a morning and evening pipe with an occasional afternoon pipe. With the new job my schedule is so erratic I normally smoke when I can. If left to my own devices I love an early morning pipe. After dinner is also a favorite time. I just love to smoke a pipe anytime really. So many pipes and tobaccos and so little time.

I smoke all day
In the mornings usually a pipe and black coffee as I watch the sun come up

At night in the quiet just before bed with a cool drink and listen to the night sounds it makes for a good nights sleep

Great thread... I smoke in the morning, sometimes in the car on the way up to Crested Butte, and often in the evenings. By far, I have hit "pipe nirvana" most often in the mornings, with coffee and NPR. Something about that "early morning pipe," to be sure!

I am mostly an evening smoker in the warmer weather, but now that the cold is upon us I take what I can get. That means more afternoon smokes. I do enjoy a morning smoke with my coffee on a Saturday in the summer out in the screen room, however... there is just something about getting the day started that way that is marvelous.

Depends on the weather & temps! Warmer times of the year, I start in the morning (love that a.m. pipe and coffee!!) & smoke anytime I go outside. This time of year, I work my bowls around the temps; lately we have had absolutely gorgeous weather & temps for so late into November! Later on, and into early next year, the bowls will be fewer and farther apart!

I wish I could be up early enough (or actually had time in the morning) to have a pipe before work. My seven year old is up way before me each morning (he was up at 5 today) and if his mom or I are awake, there is no such thing as quiet time.

I usually only get to smoke late at night when everyone is asleep, otherwise I am self conscious of the smoke even though the boy has only commented on the smoke one time and it was from a heavy VA. I try not to smoke around him much anyway unless we are out for a walk or I can open a door or window in the house.

How do others deal with pipe smoking and having younger children around? I'd rather educate mine on pipe smoking rather than have him think that it is a dirty habit and try to hide it from him.

My kids are both grown but when they were younger I did smoke around them except when they were pre-toddlers. I don't create a large volume of smoke. I'm basically a smolder smoker. My wife is very allergic to cigarette smoke but the pipe does not bother her at all except for heavy latakia. I smoke only VA's now and have for fifteen plus years. I get to smoke in the house. cheers

I seldom smoke in the car when my wife is present but on occasion I will with the window open being mindful not to blow smoke her way. My daughter is a non-smoker but loves the smell of MC #1 in the tin. When I would open a tin she used to take a big whiff and say Ah!! She is not as fond of the tin aroma of the Rattray's VA's I smoke now and didn't hesitate to tell me latakia stunk when I did smoke it. As far as the VA's, she doth not protest either. I'm a lucky man and my pipe runneth over king

I would say when i have a day-off i'm usually an afternoon smoker. I grab a rich(in price and taste) coffee and head down to our trendy hangout strip and sit on a park bench and watch the shoppers and families and pets that constantly walk by.

If i couldn't enjoy people watching i'd have to move back home to the sticks. Rolling Eyes

I bought a bag of some type of tobacconist honey blend recently and after it sat in the car overnight the fragrance permeated the interior of the car. In the morning when the kids got in they said "wow dad your tobacco smells good!". I just smiled and said "it does doesent it".

Another all day smoker here. I usually start with a burley blend in the morning and often in the evening, too, since I am primarily a burley smoker. English blends are usually smoked in the evening.
