It doesn’t take most people very long to learn that I am an avid pipe smoker. My maternal grandfather smoked a pipe and I can remember the smell of him and his house. I did not get to spend very much time with him when I was a boy and so these are the memories I cling to. When I smoke my pipe, I feel like I am part of the world he knew and enjoyed.

Another hero of mine, CS Lewis, was a pipe smoker. I have some of these same feelings towards him as well.

Besides that, I just like it.  Keep thinking. More here
