Cigar and a cocktail. Enjoying the ritual of crafting something that is completely optional, unproductive, and personal. And slowing down to enjoy. Deep breaths. Concentrating on something rather analog.

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. In fact, a good cup of tea can get a lot of the same results: ritual, pleasure, creation, and concentration.

I second this.

Have an organic grower locally that sends me artisan cigars and tobacco.

Then I light a cigar or smoke a pipe.

Never inhale, only puff and play with the smoke.

I take 500mg of theanine[0] instead of tea, which I never liked. Too much water in it, and leaves me bladderless if I drink too much of it
