pipesmoke

Curling briar vapor

Pipesmoke is the smoke produced by burning tobacco in a pipe, often associated with a distinctive sweet or aromatic quality different from cigarette smoke.

The word evokes old-fashioned domesticity or contemplation: The room smelled of pipesmoke and leather.

As a verb, to pipesmoke is to engage in lengthy, unfocused deliberation—talking through possibilities without reaching decisions: We pipesmoked the idea for months but never acted on it.
