Turkey hunting forum for turkey hunting tips

Today's world is too fast pace and full of distractions. To me a pipe is a way to slow down and tune out for a little while. Sometimes I'll go out on my back porch at night and read my Bible while I smoke my pipe. I only smoke it every now and then. This morning I'm sitting here listening for gobbles. Pipes and patience go hand in hand.  Pipe or not make sure you take some time to slow down and reflect on life a little bit.  Hope y'all all have a blessed 24' season.

I couldn't agree more, I don't smoke but i have enjoyed a lot of morning in the turkey woods with a snack and bottle of water while just relaxing under a tree..

Amen brother, couldn't agree more. Used to be cigars, but nothing better smelling than an old pipe in the quite woods.

Back when I was a smoker I really enjoyed a chill session with a pipe. I actually kind of miss that activity.

I've since replaced that with sitting in my BBQ shack in the backyard and running an outdoor cooker of one type or another.

Enjoy your time in the woods this spring

Love a relaxing smoke with my pipe, plan on getting out in the morning to listen for gobbles while enjoying my coffee and a bowl of Dunhill.

That sounds good right now. I've got a smaller rec tec I cook a Boston butt every so often. I need to do some ribs. It's been a while. We could start a whole new thread for BBQ!

I am not a pipe guy, but I do like the smell of some of the pipe tobbaco when someone else is smoking it.

Sounds like a good plan. I was smoking a little Petetson's 965 in my Savinelli this morning. Hope you hear some birds.

Absolutely...now by no means do I (nor do want to) feel like Gandalf, but it does give a different feeling. A feeling of nostalgia, simpler and as the author stated, a slower time. It's great to hear gobblers, of course! But at times, it's nice to hear those tobacco leaves sizzle as well. Best of luck to everyone!!

 I love a pipe, when someone else is smoking it!

I've got a rotation of them. Usually smoke once a day. Sometimes I'll go weeks without and when I pick one back up it reminds me all over how good it is.

Absolutely, I enjoy a tobacco pipe as well. I discovered it a few years ago, starting out with a corn cob and working up to a nice briar wood one. I am the exact same, it is just every now and then I'll have a session with it, but it is almost a ritual where I will only enjoy it when I'm not rushed and can read something or listen to vintage music.

Cigarettes reek in my opinion and are not pleasant. Cigars are better but still have a harsh smell. But a tobacco pipe with a good blend? Smells amazing and is a joy to experience.

This is my Briarwood in the image, was made local to me in Fort Smith, Arkansas

Back in the day I did, but I don't think we were smoking the same thing.

Cigars were my preference,  used to smoke the original Backwoods cigars.

Used to smoke two packs of cigarettes a day too, man I am glad I quit, now I don't even want to be around somebody that lights up wether it be a pipe with whatever in it, cigars or cigarettes. I am that awful ex-smoker you hear about.

My GF has quit smoking since she has been out of the hospital and now I don't have to smell it anymore.

My Uncle smoked a pipe religiously for as long as I can remember.  His oldest son does as well. I liked the smell, but I have never smoked anything at all. No cigars, cigarettes, or a pipe.

I occasionally smoke a pipe. I've got a few different pipes in different styles. They're great for keeping the mosquitoes away in the woods or while fishing.

My grandpa was the lst man to take me in the spring woods .
He was a great man . He's been in heaven for over 20 years , but I still get a whiff of his ole pipe smoke in the spring air every now and then ...

I think smells are some of the most powerful triggers. They can take you back to a moment or a place that you haven't been in years.

I know Val Espinoza makes some pipes. There was another maker recently I saw with a pipe in his mouth while turning a call.  Seems like there are several call makers who make pipes.

Who wants a cheap cigar when you can sit back and enjoy a pipe while trying to remember and relive all the details!

Pipe smoke is so much smoother and pleasant than cigars. I just got my nording pipe out and plan to go get some tobacco this week for IL southern 2nd season this weekend!

Good luck in Illinois. I only have a handful of pipes. A few Savinellis and cobs. I bet your Nording is sweet!

I smoked cigarettes, chewed tobacco (Red Man), dipped snuff (Copenhagen) and smoked a pipe at one time.  I gave it all up years ago.  I must say smoking a pipe was enjoyable though.

I use a lot of my same turkey gear for deer season, so never in the woods, to keep the smell off the clothes. Pouches only so I can still use my mouth call and have shotgun ready.

I smoke the 420 love pipe.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it !
