I enjoy smoking my pipe, but to me, like drinking coffee, it’s not something that’s very conducive to San Diego’s climate. I can only drink coffee if it’s dark, cold, overcast, raining, or some combination of them. I just can’t bring myself to drink a nice warm cuppa on a sunny 72 degree San Diego afternoon. Same goes for smoking my pipe and drinking my whisky neat. It’s just not as enjoyable when it’s sunny/warm outside.
Bring on standard time, early darkness, and the cold(er) winter months, because I’m ready to dust off my pipe for the winter.
