+1. Only reason I don’t is if my kids are in the car.

I never leave home without at least a packed pipe when we go into town. If we leave on a longer ride, it's at least 2 pipes and tobacco. If we leave all day or longer, well, you get it. ;)
Smoking my pipe behind the wheel helps me being patient. :D

Don't know how you guys do it! I'm barely coordinated enough to walk across the floor of the den with a pipe in my mouth.

No kidding. When I’m smoking, I actually drive the speed limit

Nope . . .

I want to be comfortable sitting in a chair where I can focus on enjoying the pipe. I am also a holder not a clencher.

I hold and clench. Lotta highway miles. Plus, bonus air freshener in the truck.

I prepack my pipes, for driving, also. I've been pipe smoking for more than 30 years so I lite up without really thinking about it.

I used to drive and smoke in my previous incarnation, but it was not satisfying. I seem to be acquiring technique in the current, i feel certain that it would dissipate given the concentration needed to drive. If I'm going to smoke a pipe, I want to be able to give it at least most of my attention. There's so much to remember, for me technique and tasting.
