Very relaxing. Also a bit more time consuming. Scrape out the screens, clean the nozzle and pipe, load the pipe carefully and don't pack too hard. Yes, we smokers love those rituals.

Even under a best case scenario, you're still inhaling carbon monoxide and various toxic chemicals. People choose to pretend like the burden of proof is on the people who oppose pot, but the burden of proof is always on the people who are advocating for ingesting unknown substances.

and studies
and evidence to support (lots of pot-only smokers of 40+ years with no lung issues, etc.)
with my 18 years experience and having smoked joints, blunts, pipes, bongs of many varieties, vaporizers of many varieties, I can tell you there is an absolute difference on lung-impact depending on how you smoke (and the quality of the herb, too)

I don't get addicted to anything. Excellent genes (of course).
Well, I got bored of it, frankly. And since I'm not a fanatic smoker, I put it away. Then I couldn't find it. Then I couldn't care enough to get a new one. Eight years later, I had too much time in my hands, and there you go. :)

*I also find it amusing that you can't even have a friendly chat about pipes on a message forum any more without it turning into a political fight over smoking. Internet, you sure know how to buzzkill a party.*

I've been smoking pipe since I was 18 years old with big breaks (weeks, months, years) in between.
I only do this when I got some time to really relax and read a book in the park or make a big break in the workshop.
I got a custom combination of a cheap head made from a nice bruyère with strawberry shaped bottom and a long Stanwell mouthpiece for reading that did fit the shape quite well, my seller widened the plug area of the head for me so that it fits perfectly:

And an expensive one from Vauen for three people at once (shisha style but not shisha) which sadly is never used:
http://postimg.org/image/7ribcqmcv/
Tried all kinds of tobaccos, began with Rattrays's Marlin Flake, really liked Larssen 1864, some others and mostly went back to Dannemann Sweet Mango time and again.
I'm using active coal filters and pipe cleaners from Vauen since all the others I tried weren't very good.
My colleagues say that I'm the perfect traditional artisan when sitting in the workshop with my beard between my creations and smoking a pipe while reading Jules Verne although all those things didn't start at the same time by far, I just like this stuff. Having studied philosophy doesn't do much against this stereotype...

I smoked from time to time, but I stopped after I had a pneumothorax, my right lung collapsed. :/
I´m even getting paranoid if someone is smoking near me. :P
