How Often and Where Do You Smoke

[av8scuba]

I get in 2 or 3 bowls each day on the porch, even in cold weather. Then there are the occasional bowls in my truck on the way home from work.

Where do I smoke? Well, according to the nice lady at the park...in Hell.

I average around a bowl a day, generally outside on the covered deck but winter in Canada isnt conducive to smokung a pipe outdoors. I have a shed in the backyard that I smoked in last winter equipped with a space heater. This year I've renovated my bedroom and I occasionally smoke in there once the kids are in bed. Its just me so I dont have anyone to complain about the odour and I like the smell that lingers.

 

[nscoyote]

i smoke where ever i can legally smoke, as often as i feel the urge to. works out to 5-8 bowls a day

 

[tarak]

1-3 times/week. Smoke on my deck when its nice, in my garage when its not.

 

[shutterbugg]

1-2 bowls in the evening, sitting on a chair just outside the garage, or just inside the open door if it's raining or too breezy. Rarely ever gets below 65 here in the winter so that's not a problem. Wife wouldn't object if I smoked in the house but she and the doggies are nonsmokers and I don't want them inhaling second-hand smoke (or want to inhale it myself for that matter). I could smoke at my office or just outside the door, but I opt not to. Those 1-2 bowls per day are my chosen risk limit. And LOL smoking in the car would be quite a feat for me, it's a stick.

I smoke in my house, on my front porch, on my lanai. I smoke 4-5 bowls a day everyday.

 

[JimInks]

All day, every day, everywhere I can. I'd smoke in my sleep if I could! I guess maybe between 8-12 bowls a day? I never bother to count. I just enjoy.

Lately, at least once a day during the week barely on the weekend because the wife has me doing stuff, during the summer I was on the back deck now I moved upstairs to my 3 season room with a space heater

6-10 a week. Usually on the patio in the backyard or in my garage that I turned into a man-cave.

I guess I am the odd person out. I smoke a couple of bowls twice a month at my friend's place because we can smoke indoors.(his wife's grandfather was a long time pipe smoker and our smoking provides some nostalgia for her). My two bowls twice a week on the patio ended this week. Yesterday it was minus 24C (with windchill) where I live so my patio smoking is curtailed for the season. I would go out on warmer days in the winter to the patio but it is usually covered with 3 - 4feet of snow. I found that last winter I attempted on several occasions to smoke outside but I saw it as somewhat counter productive. In the frigid temperatures I was rushing to finish the pipe when everything about a pipe for me is taking time to settle and enjoy those special moments to contemplate life and practice 'ruminato'. When I meet with my friend to smoke I really appreciate it and savor the tobacco.

I smoke probably once a week at a buddies house, I was smoking everyday on my way to work. But I've gotten lazy and just roll out of bed and go to work. Working nights is a little draining after a while.

 

[bphilli75]

...five to seven bowls per week for me - garage and porch mostly. Sometime I go days or weeks without a pipe, just due to lack of convenience or opportunity. I'm happy this is something I can enjoy when I want, without the burden of addiction. I live among very anti tobacco people mostly, so I admit I avoid smoking at all in the presence of others.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Usually 3-4 times a day, but I've gotten lazy about the morning bowl too. As it gets colder in the mornings, I tend to opt for sleeping an extra 30 minutes as opposed to waking up and smoking a morning bowl with a cup of coffee. On the weekends, it can go either way. I could smoke more or less, depending on what I'm doing. But, in the car, outside for a walk, or inside, my limitations are only self-imposed.

 

[phred]

Since my work schedule has me done around noon on Fridays, it has become something of a ritual to either drop by the B&M on Friday afternoon, or to have a bowl or two out on the back patio. I'll often have another bowl at some point during the weekend, either while doing yardwork or while taking a break from other weekend chores, weather permitting.

 

[gtclark]

I'm lucky to have my own room in the house, so I generally have a bowl or three a few nights a week, and a few on the weekends as well. I used to smoke in the car while commuting from work, but I got tired of cleaning bits of tobacco and ash from the center console.

 

[politicalmonster]

Just recently began taking over the clubhouse I built for my daughters when they were younger. Now that they are teens, they don't use it, so I have a cozy little 8x8 man-cave in the making.

I smoke about once a day, sometimes twice on weekends.

 

[andrearoberts]

Usually in bed. Hard to get out of it on the weekends especially when you can curl up with a Peterson and a glass of something!

Mine is a somewhat fancied up shed inthat it not only has a space heater, it's finished inside and is large enough to contain my desk/workspace as well as a couple of comfy chairs and a TV ... it also houses my cigar humidors and all the pipes/tobaccos I own ...
I generally smoke 3 times, once after breakfast, after lunch and after dinner, but sometimes add a fourth bowl, depending on my moods and the demands of the day ... it's not all pipes, there are some cigars in that mix, probably about 90% pipes, 10% cigars ...

My wife (and to be honest, I) don't want full-on smoking in our house. But our kitchen is off to one side of the house, so I stick a fan in the window that's right next to the table and smoke there. The fan pulls the smoke out with no issues.
