    Is a Zippo Pipe Insert Really Better?

    Coming Out of the Piper Closet!

    In my head I walk around with a pipe in my mouth when out and about. In reality on the few occasions I try I just feel embarrassed and keep checking if people see me and if they react :( Cigarettes on the other hand I give no thought to.

    How Many Bowls Do You Smoke?

    It depends on my cigarette intake that day On a 'bad' day: 30-50 cigarettes + 0 bowls On a 'good' day: 5-10 cigarettes + 10-15 bowls

    Pipe Rotation; Yes, No, Maybe So?

    I don't have a strict order and don't have a lot of pipes, only about 16. I just generally try to use one which is in 'the least recently used half'.
