How Many Bowls Do You Smoke A Day
Depends on the season. I don't smoke indoors, so I rely heavily on good weather. This means on average 2-3 per week during the summer and 1 a week or less in the colder months.- smoelf

Where to Go in Europe?
I can recommend Copenhagen. It doesn't have much of a pipe culture per say, but it does have the Danish Pipe Shop and a number of lovely places to smoke a pipe.- smoelf

The pipe - a thing of the past ?
I'm really happy my local webshop had a simple starter kit ready to be purchased when I started, as I would probably have been paralyzed with all the options. That time, all I had to choose was bent or straight. And it gave me the option to learn more about pipes and tobacco, while learning to...- smoelf

Newbie flailing on whether to smoke or not!
While I agree that it will be very difficult to enjoy pipe smoking if you worry about its negative effects while smoking, I don't think that there is anything wrong with your initial worry, as studies have indeed shown a correlation between pipe smoking and certain diseases.

Light to heavy - or other way around?
Absolutely. It'll probably be a good long while before I start buying in bulk, just to avoid that. When I got the last sampler I started with Nightcap, and while it wasn't unpleasant I definitely got more enjoyment out of the milder ones. I look forward to trying Nightcap again sometime in the...- smoelf

Light to heavy - or other way around?
Thanks for all the answers. It seems I had the right notion that I'm making it more complicated than it seemed, if the progression is most important if you smoke them back to back, which was never my intention (Though I can see I wasn't clear about that). I started with the medium Classic Burley...- smoelf

Light to heavy - or other way around?
I just ordered some burley samples, and are very much looking forward to them arriving, but I was wondering what the best progression might be when trying them out. The pack contains three tins of varying strengths. Last time I tried a sampler I started with the heavier ones. That was mostly...- smoelf

When Did You Start Smoking A Pipe?
In my case a question like this deserves two answers. The first: About a year ago, when I started trying out pipe smoking. I have always love the smell of pipe smoke and tobacco, and I knew that if I we ever going to smoke something, it would be pipe. So after being exposed to pipe smoking in...- smoelf

Free Pipe Project
This is amazing! I've been lurking the forum for about a year, since I started trying out pipe smoking, and I've noticed the friendly community, but this just blows me away. Really great project, and I wish you the best of luck with it. I don't really qualify for a care package, even though I'm...- smoelf
