Smoking a pipe while you drive?...

[Hermit]

If I'm driving, I'm smokin'.
It's a lot easier to smoke a cigar than a pipe,
but I smoke both.

I will usually only smoke aromatics or cheaper OTC blends while I drive... nothing that requires too much attention or concentration to enjoy.

Better to smoke while driving than to read a book while driving.














No, I'm not kidding. Some asshat lady passed me on the interstate in the right lane (I was in the left lane doing 80 mph). I glanced over and she had a book open in her lap and her head was down - she was freakin' reading!

Sorry... I thought that "MB" stood for something else entirely!

Moocedes Benz? Goldwing, no. But I love a pipe in the firebreathing turbo Merc. Zoom zoom zoom.

That's the best time for pipe vs cigar! I smoke both in my car; usually a pipe unless going on a minimum 45min drive now when I'll light a cigar. Unfortunately, I do have a bad smell in my car often, but I don't have the time to clean it like I should. Do have cloth seats as well, don't care much for leather interior, but with the way you guys are talking, I may have to make leather the choice for the next car I get (whenever that'll be).

I love smoking while driving, mostly I'm alone so I can. The moonroof is a blessing, I keep it open and puff away. Most driving is in the city, and things don't move faster than 5 mph so my (remaining) hair doesn't get blown away. Pipes don't stink up the car, too much. Cigars however, require me to leave all windows and moonroof open when I park the vehicle - lest the better half get a whiff and flagellate my rear end with a frying pan.

I smoke my pipe all the time in my truck, i actually have pipes i keep in my truck that are a little smaller than the rest of the pipes i own. I really helps the time pass when i am driving up to my tobacconist or work.

I drive a 10 year old cheapie car that I really don't care about, so I COULD smoke in it. But 99% of my drives in the car are less than 5 miles so I've NEVER smoked in it.

I take that back - last time I had a long drive (2.5 hours) I tried firing up a small cigar. It was so distracting that I tossed it. I need some practice.

Anyhow, next long solo drive I'll give it a go again. Something that stays lit easy, maybe the prince or similar.

Just recently I went on a fishing trip and I drove to and from my destination smoking a full bent pipe with an aromatic so as not to stink my car as my wife drives it as well. It was a very pleasant 1.5 hour drive each way, very relaxing and contemplative. If at any time my pipe went out, I simply waited for a long straight stretch of road with no oncoming traffic and relit quickly. I had both driver and passenger windows just cracked

Oh if you interested, everybody caught fish except me, I got skunked again

Well I smoked my pipe on my way into work this morning. I figured, if I gotta be at work at 6:00 AM on a Saturday during hunting season, I owe it to myself to get a little crazy on the way in...too bad the interstate was closed b/c of a wreck and I had to get off at some shady exit and find my way to work a back way...needless to say I was not able to concentrate on the pipe as much as I probably needed too...I guess I'll just have to hit the pipe again on the way home.

"What smell honey? I don't smell anything (as I sniff and pretend to try and detect what she's complaining about)... Sorry baby but nothing comes to mind. Could it be your imagination maybe?"

OK seriously... Yes I smoke in the car or truck almost every time I go someplace. When I get there I put the pipe in a place where it's SAFE and out of any direct sunlight and wont be subjected to extreme heat (crack the windows in summer). When I get back into the car or truck I tamp and re-light!

Complaining wife? Tell her Boo-Hoo get over it babe, it's either the pipe or a girlfriend... Which do you prefer?
