As I sit here smoking bowl after bowl, I was wondering ... is there such a thing as a pipe chain-smoker? Are you one? We obviously can't light a new bowl off the lit bowl but still... I was just wondering.

Dump the old one, clean it, fill it, light it, and smoke.We obviously can't light a new bowl off the lit bowl
Perhaps a bit of a rhetorical question…. when is a pipe unreasonable? I guess I mean…. for when a cigar or cigarette substitutes.I do, along with the rest of the nicotine addicted. Well, I do cigarettes and cigars when appropriate or the pipe is unreasonable.
When a fine cigar is called for. Between the car and the store. (I find a lit pipe in the shirt pocket to be distracting as I push the shopping cart.) A cigar tasting at your friendly tobacconist. Between the car and the terminal. Between the taxi and the theater, closing in on opening time. From the grocery store to the car. Anytime a cigarette is preferred over a pipe or cigar. Behind the chutes where smoking is prohibited so a chaw is required. On the flight line where smoking is prohibited so a chaw or snuss is substituted. Ad infinitum.when is a pipe unreasonable?

For me it would be when I have my hands free. If I'm working it's a pipe, if not like now, it's cigarettes or chew.Perhaps a bit of a rhetorical question…. when is a pipe unreasonable? I guess I mean…. for when a cigar or cigarette substitutes.![]()

Waza, have you ever smoked a cigarette while emptying the dottle from a pipe and loading it up for its next voyage?
I actually admire your restraint.Not to ruin the fun but no, not for me. I get more enjoyment from the "everything in moderation" lane. Don't get me wrong, tobacco is all sorts of fun. Could do it all day long. But, I dislike the downside so I make the pipe a periodic rather than regular thing.
I've been known to do that from time to time.I may not always be smoking a bowl but more often than not I have a pipe in my mouth.
I know of no "downside" for me but, I also admire your restraint.I dislike the downside
