With all of the pipe-tobacco that I have cellared, not nearly enough!
The thing is... When do you guys have the time to smoke so many bowls?
Take me a minimum 30/40min to get through a bowl and that's feeling a little rushed. I can't imagine having the time for more than 1-2 bowls a day.

Most days, 0-2. If time and circumstances permitted, I'd have 2 per day. Rarely I have 3 in a day, but I usually end up thinking that 2 would have been enough.
So far in 2025, I've averaged 0.68 bowls per day; however, I often have more than one bowl per session, for an average of 1.67 per session.

I'm retired. So, it's 12-16 bowls per day depending on the pipe. Also, it's only my magnums that take me upwards of 30 minutes to finish a bowl.
I'm like a lot of the people here that say how many bowls they smoke depends on the day. I basically smoke whenever I can and that changes a lot. On average I would say 8 bowls a day. I didn't start smoking until I was 62 years of age so I don't try to cut back at all. My tongue will occasionally make me quit for a while; yeah the tongue screams ya gotta listen.
A bowl a day maybe two on some days with a few days break every now and then. I smoke slow i guess takes me about an hour to finish a medium sized pipe and I like to just sit and relax when a smoke and dont have hours upon hours in my day to sit with my pipe.
3-4 bowls a week. work and youngsters keep me real busy!! when retired, i could easily see 1-2 bowl day guy
I dunno. Two or three sessions a week. Those numbers will creep up as the crisp evening weather improves.
I quit cigarettes 18 years ago, 1 1/2 to 2 packs per day. Am I ever happy I made that commitment. I now smoke 3 to 4 bowls per day. No desire to smoke a cigarette. Hope the OP can do the same.
While my pallet isn’t the greatest, the tastes and aromas are discernible to me. I usually have something to drink during and between smokes. Could be water, scotch, or beer depending on my mood.
I think that “cleansing” your pallet between bowls helps. What beverages work is left as an exercise to the student!
Just an example: Early in the morning with coffee before the day begins, while driving between activities, at any outdoor activity where I can, late afternoon work breaks, early evening before or after dinner. You don't HAVE TO sit and smoke for 40 minutes straight (which is nice if you have the time), you can smoke for a few minutes and come back to the pipe when able. It should complement your needs not you complementing smoking. Just 2 cents. Do what's best for you.
That's exactly what I do. The pipe cap is a simple but great invention after all. Great for a loaded or half smoked pipe outdoors.
