How many bowls do you smoke in a day or a week?

When I'm working I smoke about 4 a day. When I'm off only 1. I work only 2 weeks out of the month though. So I smoke a lot one week then I'm off the next.

five or six a day
If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.Posted 1 year ago # -
I average 2 a day, so 14 a week.
Some days I may have 3 - 4 in a day, but then sometimes only 1 a day, and I might miss a day or two completely if I am traveling.

It depends on the tobacco I chose throughout the day. If it's my black ropes, maybe 3. If it's Mick McQuaid plug, no more than two. Four to six if it's one of my English blends.

I would say an average of 1.5 a day. I say 1.5 because it's usually 2, but there are the odd days when I miss a morning or evening pipe or that I don't smoke at all. I don't ever have a NEED to smoke a pipe, so I am more of a wait till things are settled down and I am relaxed and can enjoy my 45 min to 2 hrs of blissful pipe smoking kind of guy. There is also the occasional day that I smoke 3, but it's rare enough that I will maintain a 1.5 bowl per day average.

Normally just 2 or 3 times a week. I got a package from Boswells Saturday, so I smoked 2 a day on Saturday and Sunday. My tongue complained, so Monday I didn't smoke any. I'll be back on the routine again, it's just that I really wanted to give the new tobaccos a try as soon as possible.

Two per week.
I would like more: so many tobaccos to try! Even at my Canadian-tax-impaired rate of accumulation, I'm stashing more than I'm smoking. I've got six blends in my stash and at least three more that I really want to try. It takes me three weeks just to rotate through! :'(

I have a pipe going nearly constantly. More likely than not, at any given moment I'm somewhere puffing away.
So it's hard to keep count, but I'll guess 7 to 9 bowls a day.
Two points though:
(1) I smoke a lot of P.A., which is so mild-flavored it doesn't wear me out;
(2) most of my pipes are group 3 sized (medium-to-small) because I seem to lack whatever skills it takes to nurse a large bowl of tobac to the bottom. I can't seem to get good re-lights on those deep bowls, but shallow bowls, even the large ones, work fine.
That's one of the reasons I'm almost always smoking bulldogs. (The other reasons are I'm in love with the looks and feel of the shape; and I think it compliments my appearance.)I find myself sitting idly on the line dividing past and future,
as if I could kill time without injuring eternity. -- ThoreauPosted 1 year ago # -
10 a week.

I'm like Cortez, I seem to have a bowl going all the time.
I count by the number of packings I do.
It all depends on my agenda for the day.
If I'm away from the house most of the day maybe 2-3 for the whole day.
If like today, I'm here... maybe 6-7 depending on the size of the bowl.Posted 1 year ago # -
Not enough but even though I'm just getting back in to I'd say on average about 8 a week.

On average, I smoke 2-3 bowls a day. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But, for the most part, I guess it averages out to about 2-3 a day.

Generally just one to two per evening on the back deck, just during the week when no one is around, it's my private retreat time.

I also smoke my pipe, day and night. I would say 8. That is why I have no money for pipe collecting.

On average, 4-6 bowls per day. The variable will be the Pipes I smoke, as
some of these Meerschaums have large bowls.Posted 1 year ago # -

Holy santa cachucha!!! you guys are serious pipe smokers!!! i guess 4 a week
Posted 1 year ago # -
I love smoking my pipes. They relax me, and allow me to find my Zen. I also smoke to relieve pain. Yeah. I smoke quite a bit.

There are likely a bunch of serious all day pipe guys who have never been on the internet or been to a forum in their life. I know of one like that.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I try to smoke one bowl after work on the back deck every day or at least every other day. However, when it's hot out, I just normally pass until it gets dark or maybe early morning before work. Now that cool weather is close by, I will probably be puffing more than usual. Due to kids in the house, I never smoke indoors at home. Always outside. I wish I was like some of you guys that have a dedicated smoking room, aka "Man Cave". Maybe one day......

5-6 a week, i usually smoke in the evening, but sometimes i am just too busy or it is nasty out. sometimes i make up for lost evenings by smoking twice a day on friday saturday.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I smoke about once every night to every other night depending on what is going on. Since I can only smoke at night if I have alot of work to do and don't get it done until late (usually around midnight or a little later) then I probably won't smoke that day. I look forward to it though. On days that I can't I feel that I am eagerly awaiting the next time I can sit down and relax smoking a bowl of my favorite tobacco.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I usually smoke 3-4 pipes a day, depending on how much free time I have.

I usually get 2 bowls in a normal week. This week though, I had a friends 21st party and I had a cigar, and about 5 bowls over the course of several hours (tounge still feels like sandpaper) So I'm limited out for a couple weeks

2-3 per day is the norm.

2-3 a day depends one on the way to work, one after work on the back patio, and if I go to the legion one there

I've moved up to 16 a week ( 2 bowls M-F and 3 on Sat & Sun). I love the weekends.

2-3 per day. About 15 on an average week.

I have committed to once a month, outside and wash clothes immediately. My wife and daughter have serious breathing issues. But I really look forward to the smoke.

Wow,...very enlightening. I just assumed that all members here smoked much more than I, quite the contrary!
I also smoke 2 or 3 bowls a day.
Three yesterday at the fire station, and two today at home, it's nice to feel normal!
Posted 1 year ago # -
4 bowls per day.More on weekends when I'm not working.
Posted 1 year ago # -
It varies for me.
Most days 3-4.
Today, I had a pipe stoked all day.Posted 1 year ago # -
I used to smoke maybe twice a week...if I thought about it. Now, two days a week I have five or so hours where I have to just sit outside. So I smoke four bowls or so on those days, with another couple few days other days.
So ten or so bowls a week, I would guess.

3 bowls a day and 3-4 cigars a day. I have the time. That's what retirement is about; watching the world go by in a haze of blue smoke.
Posted 1 year ago # -
1 a day after supper in my mancave/garage, on the weekends 2 or 3 if I have time.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I try to smoke everyday but it seems to be getting harder since its freezing outside but I would say i smoke 10 bowls a week
Posted 1 year ago # -
As many as I can, being retired have plenty of time. I usually can get in about 8 to 10 daily, something stoked all day most of the time.

Man, I thought the majority of the folks here smoked more than that, when I read the variety of tabacco you all have and smoke. I light about 6-7 a day and on a good day more than that. And every one is pure enjoyment.
Posted 1 year ago # -
This thread is really enlightening....Makes me wonder about that pipe maker ( I do not remember the name) who smokes a pipe continually all day...including during meals and while in the shower (?)....
But...for me it's usually 3 times per day with an occasional 4th or 5th time on rare occasion....

on avg only about 2 or 3/4 bowls a week, I can easily do that in one sitting on some weekends. I usually do a midweek bowl, and smoke 2 or 3 on the weekends. I have to watch it due to my sinuses, anything more and I'm doing myself a diservice.

It depends on what tobaccos I smoke. With high nocotine content tobaccos I will smoke only 4 or 5 pipes a day. With other tobaccos, it may go as high a 8 pipes a day which is down from the 10 to 12 I smoked before retiring.

I smoke once in the morning before going to work - with 2 to maybe 3 when I get home. I definitely kick back and smoke 1 bowl before dinner and 1-2 after. So a total of 3-4 a day. If I am off on the weekend - I have pushed it to 5 and 6 - but I am pretty smoked out by then. I usually start my day with an Aromatic and build my way to a medium - full English blend.

About 1 to 2 bowls a day. Sometimes, I go a day or two without smoking. It averages out to still about 1 a day, LOL.

pretty well describes my experience also--as mentioned by another poster earlier; my family has breathing problems, so smoking inside is not even a consideration--

Probably one and 1/2 a day, although when I'm on the road I almost never smoke. I'm a pick-up smoker. I'll smoke a pipe I left from the night before, sometimes even days before, no problem. But I never have more than one pipe "going" at a time. I'll finish what is left before re-loading with fresh tobacco or moving on to a different pipe or tobacco.

Two to five bowls a day, depending on what I am doing. If I am at home, five. If I am out and about two or three.

I usually smoke 1 a day, in the evenings, while watching the tube or chatting in the online pipe chat channels. Occasionally, I'll smoke a quick cob in the afternoons or a small pipe while on an hour drive. I don't smoke at home when I have company... only because pipe time is private time for me. I rarely smoke in public. Otherwise, if I'm not smoking, eating, drinking or sleeping, I'm Skoaling (40 cans a month). Retired batchelor.

10+ bowls/day. Gotta get that nicotine fix. I'm trying to cut it down to 8 or 9.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I smoke 1-2 per week. Usually it's more when the weather is nice, but lately it's been so cold that 1-2 per week is all I can get in.

LOL WOW I thought I was different for smoking usually 2 a day or 3 on the weekends but it is glad to know that there are others that smoke more because I would really like to do the same. I normally have an after-work-wind-down-smoke then an after-dinner-desert smoke.

for me 5 - 10 bowls per day, depending on what Im doing
