Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I’m now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest…

    I’m an academic who no longer smokes (thanks grad school…) You meet a huge variety of folks in smoker’s pits. The folks a university relies on a hell of a lot more than at least half of faculty. I’m thankful for the daily, sometimes hourly, rituals that taught me that.

      I knew a very smart manager who quit smoking but still used to go hang out in the smoking area just to stay in touch with everything. I’ve learn more in 10 minute conversations while smoking with coworkers than entire week long seminars.

      I quit smoking years ago but smoked for a long time. If I ever go back to smoking I think it would be a pipe. I did it once or twice and it was extremely relaxing.

        I recently picked up a pipe. It has all the rituals and escapism of a cigar, without the hour-long commitment.

        That being said, sometimes being”occupied” for an hour is part of the appeal. Each has their place ime.
