Having smoked a pipe for 2 years now, I understand why so many great thinkers smoked one. It allows me to focus like nothing else I’ve tried. It’s completely meditative. The relaxing aroma/flavor acts as a sort of incense, while the cadence of your puffing acts like a breathing exercise would. These aspects put you into a calm, focused, meditative, trancelike state where you can really explore your mind, thoughts, and feelings. Screw a therapist, everybody should just try smoking a pipe!
