I would probably chain-smoke them all, all the time if my mouth etc tissues would stand it. A couple-hour smoke every other day turns out to be optimal. If I smoke every day, my body becomes annoyed with me and I don't enjoy it as much as with a little break to every other day. With all the truly great tobaccos out there and all the fine pipes, I wish I was less of a wuss but it all just is as it is. So I alternate the frustration by collecting pictures of magnificent pipes here and on several other sites, participating in this forum, and constantly creating and revising TAD and PAD lists! The fun is endless! I only wish my budget was as well! What is irksome to me is that I am, as several of our brethren are above, retired now... and actually have the time... I am terribly annoyed my body doesnt cooperate with these endeavors. Dmn thing! But at least I'm still upright!!
