Funny how in even reading on the topic of pipe smoking it feels like a meditative jaunt. Something to be said of your writing too, ha! Enjoyed the personality you brought to this article from what you've experienced. Would enjoy to see more of that with you and Pig Iron. I much liked the idea of ritual companionship. You do nicely to put a finger on it - but it's something a little hard to pin down. You're not just doing a thing, you're doing something which has been practiced for hundreds or thousands of years, whatever it is. There's some serious gravity to that.
Thank you Vaughn! Your words mean a good deal. I do think the ritual companionship is one of my favorite parts of the pipe. I feel a part of something much larger than myself while I do something so small. And yes - Mr Guite's channel is a treasure! I highly encourage readers to explore his content

Also, hearing Guite himself give that last swell poem a read is enjoyable! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui6fq8pR_sM&t=931s
