No, MM, seriously!! A pipe! You were out on a canoe trip smokin'a pipe! I can't even remember the last time I saw a guy doing the pipe-smoker thang.
One of my current companions is a pipe smoker, and my early tripping companion was as well.

He mixed his own, an Abbey-esque homage blend of Bull Durham for bulk and Sir Walter Raleigh for aromatic taste.

BTW, do not use a corn cob pipe if it is excessively windy; I had one “Ow, ow, ow, why is my hand so hot?” burn through in bellows-like high winds.
Although not as much pipe smoking anymore; pipe tobacco is becoming harder and harder to find. Every convenience store sells cigarettes, not so much anymore with mild Burly & Bright.
