Sitting on the Edge of Ruin
“The king and all his company sat silent on their horses, marveling, perceiving that the power of Saruman was overthrown; but how they could not guess. And now they turned their eyes towards the archway and the ruined gates. There they saw close beside them a great rubble-heap; and suddenly they were aware of two small figures lying on it at their ease, grey-clad, hardly to be seen among the stones. There were bottles and bowls and platters laid beside them, as if they had just eaten well, and now rested from their labour. One seemed asleep; the other, with crossed legs and arms behind his head, leaned back against a broken rock and sent from his mouth long wisps and little rings of thin blue smoke.”
'You do not know your danger, Theoden,' interrupted Gandalf. "These hobbits will sit on the edge of ruin and discuss the pleasures of the table, or the small doings of their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers, and remoter cousins to the ninth degree, if you encourage them with undue patience.” -The Road to Isengard in The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
May we never lose the art, ability and necessity to “discuss the pleasures of the table, or the small doings…”
You can hear a simply delightful, slightly extended reading of this passage by Malcolm Guite here: https://youtu.be/c0i_UnvaupQ

Pipe smoking is about more than the nicotine addiction.
Tumblr media
A pipe is a relationship with an intimate, warm friend wearing good cologne or perfume. It sits quietly with you, and you must pay attention, hold it, and tend to it; learn not to smoke too fast or slow so you don't burn out your pipe or allow the fire to die. It gives much the same comfort as a campfire or fireplace, a glass of good scotch or a woman who knows how to be with you quietly.
Cigarettes are about the nicotine high, and once lit, you never have to pay attention; they burn like a bad relationship.
That is why we really miss it. Only another pipe smoker would understand this.

A pipe is a fountain of contemplation, the source of pleasure, the companion of the wise; and the man who smokes, thinking like a philosopher and acts like a Samaritan.
- Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

The original caption of this photo, taken April 15, 1926, was:
Working on the theory that their grandmothers enjoyed their pipe and bowl, girls are forming a pipe smokers club and it is yet possible, following this line of thought, that the girls will soon be seen smoking cigars. Among the founders of the club, who met at Keens Chop House on West 44th Street to draft a constitution and bylaws, are Misses Irene Dunne, Irma Marwich, and Lane Blair of the "Sweetheart Time" Co.
Could "Irene Dunne" have been the actress? It's possible—she was appearing on Broadway at the time.

Trying something new and learning as I go.
Just been curious about pipe smoking for a while since my cigar buddy swears to that too.
But much to learn, cuz is more and different work from cigars. I'm definitely a n00b here.
But sure smells better than cigars in the aftermath.
