My loving wife, who has previously been adverse to smoking in any form, has accepted my occasional use of the pipe. Previously, I have only smoked by myself outside, provoking various degrees of disapproval. That certainly diminished the degree of relaxation and pleasure derived from my pipe smoking. This past Friday,to my great joy and amazement, as we were enjoying "happy hour" on the terrace during a warm spell, my wife actually suggested that I should smoke my pipe! I took this momentous occasion to open my tin of McClelland's 2013 Christmas Cheer and also christened a previously unsmoked Savinelli Churchwarden pipe. Sweet Ecstasy!!! She did position herself so that she was not down wind of my smoke and admitted that it wasn't "too bad". Thank the Good Lord that I had something to smoke with a pleasing "room note". I even got her to smell the delicious tin note, though she was very hesitant to do so. I doubt that this will become a frequent occurrence, nor likely to ever occur indoors, but this is a major milestone indeed, at least for me!
