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.
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.

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'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.

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.
About two a day . and about 6 a day on weekends . more if Iam stressed , less if Iam asleep , more if Iam drinking , not when Iam eating , Heck it is whole lot .
