    Get out of debt
    Smoke cigars and pipes
    Drink whiskey
    Sit on the porch
    Ponder frequently
    This is what I do at least once a week, usually on Friday afternoons. Having a ritual is paramount to balance

    I always find it interesting when a child says ‘I’m bored’ and the parent responds by treating that as a problem that must be solved…. We have created a generation that expects to be perpetually entertained…. Good video.

    I hear you man…even tho most folks see me enjoying a pipe on screen, most all of my smokes are just spent unplugged, enjoying nature and being quiet, contemplating alone. It’s really therapeutic and relaxing for me!

  • @rpdeao
    @rpdeao 2 роки тому +47

    Totally agree. Slow down, take a walk / hike, sit on the porch, focus on nothing for the time a pipe will allow, and amazing clarity and or calmness can happen. I’ve made it a rule that if I’m enjoying a pipe on the back porch there’s no phones or chatter about stressful current events (myself included). Always regret when I break my own rules during “unwind time”.

    As a member of the young generation, I have felt incredibly overwhelmed by the fast paced and unnatural nature of modern life. The chaos and panic inducing movement compels me to be chaotic and in a state of panic and distress. It's incredibly difficult to slow the mind and body down and the pipe is a beautiful way to achieve it if you take to it well.

    You are right about slowing down and getting away from it all. Too many people today think that the cure for burnout and anxiety is to attack the problems even harder next time. People never seem to notice that their efforts are not more fruitful when they do this. "Sometimes the bucket just can not hold any more water". Highly intelligent people have trouble coming to terms with this simple truth.

    I told my wife I wouldn't smoke a pipe, but I have one in my mouth frequently. I started at 18 after joining the navy (pre-insanity) when we could still grow a beard and they gave us beer rations. I had a chief who would smoke a pipe, then spin it upside down and run on the beach, so I did too. Sir Ralph Richardson, my favorite actor smoked a pipe. Great video even for the insane!

    My dad smoked a pipe. In fact, he smoked a pipe, cigars and cigarettes but he had a pipe lit most of the time. He loved Amphora tobaccos most i think. I guess he was like his father a Yorkshireman who i could never understand as a kid but they both enjoyed their pipes. Well, i'm 57 now and i think i might take up pipe smoking now. Partly to remind me of my dad but partly to make me stop, slow down and unwind. Yeah.....its time. See you at the tobacco shop !

I’ve ordered a nice leather pouch, to keep 2 favourite pipes in. I haven’t bought any baccy yet but I will! My late dad used to smoke a pipe through all of my youth, and I loved the smell and have fond memories of him smoking his pipe. I’m definitely taking this up!

    Tonight I smoked a pipe for the first time. I smoked cigarettes for a bunch of years but haven’t touched one in half a decade, however a few weeks ago I bought a pipe kit and some tobacco thinking that it might be something I want to do from time to time. Tonight I decided to try it out, and I really enjoyed it. The experience reminded me of the difference between listening to a Spotify playlist shuffling in the background while at work vs sitting in front of a record player listening to an album front to back through headphones... Smoking cigs or vaping is like this mindless extra task that you layer over the list of other things you’re doing at the same time, but the pipe took some effort and thought to get going and once it was going I didn’t want to set it down and look at my phone or anything, I just felt content doing nothing.

A pack of 30-40 grams lasts me months, not an everyday smoker. I also have a pipe but it's maybe a bit burnt and I should take better care of it and try to find some light tobacco for it.

    A neuroscientist who goes by doctor huberman what was recently talking about the benefits of nicotine for your brain. If you get untreated tobacco that doesn't have additional chemicals it's not as carcinogenic. As a pipe smoker it's not necessarily about getting a tobacco fix versus cigarette users. I've been contemplating taking it up again.

    Hey man do you have any tips for smoking a pipe in a windy environment? I insisted on smoking on the beach one time. It was a pleasant experience overall. the salty air accented the cult blood red moon nicely, except half my tobacco flew out the bowl, and it obviously burned hot.

    I love this melody... It somehow reminds me of Gravity Falls
