Folks who only smoke one bowl on weekends or on special occasions are still real pipe smokers. No rules.
LMAO, bits and pieces - did you know about hair - http://www.keratin.com/ay/hair-did-you-know.shtml says, "Beards of men contain between 7,000 and 15,000 hairs.
That poor bastard with 6,999 hairs on his face is crying himself to sleep tonight.
What I want to know is in the name of all that is holy, who would count them in the first place? I can hear it now:
"Marcus, it is your first day on the job. Take this magnifying glass and count every hair in the security guard's beard. Um....Marcus, did you just make a rude hand gesture to me? And I assure you I most definitely did not ride in on a horse."
No rules to pipe smoking. If you have the time & inclination...light it up!

If you smoke a pipe you’re a pipe smoker. Except that one guy, he’s an asshole. But other than him, if you smoke a pipe you’re a pipe smoker.
What is this driving force compelling people to make rules, set standards and define everything precisely? Why try to freaking suck the joy out of things? Why don't we have Pipe Smoking Classes such as Elite Master if you smoke 10 or more bowls per day, Master for 7 to 10, Captain for 4 to 7, Sergeant for 1 to 4 and Dipshit for less than 1 per day? See how silly that sounds? What's wrong with "I enjoy smoking a pipe" and leave it at that?
Until recently I would have though you actually have to be a smoker. I've found though reading through these threads, you don't even have to condone smoking at all.. haha
I agree. It is almost as silly as having to rest a pipe for a day for every bowl one smokes. Sadly no one likes rules. Especially if they disagree with them.
Hell even once a year I suppose could be considered a pipe smoker ...
Does 85 1/2 bowls a month count?
A heated tent in a garage counts more.
A real pipe smoker has at least one piece of clothing with ember holes in it. Strangely shaped pipe cleaners that have been given to the cat to play with. A dog that has been forgiven for chewing on a briar block instead of a chew toy. A post man who hands you a package and inquires how much trouble you are in for this one. An exwife who used the seven day rotation of Dunghills as candle holders. A corn cob pipe he enjoys, but only smokes when he thinks no one is looking.
If you own a pipe and smoke it sometimes, you my friend, are a pipe smoker!
It's probably important to realize that, for some people, therein lies the joy.
Yep
Yep
Love my dog, but he would be finding another home after that one.
I'll never have that one happen.
That would make her a keeper, those things are useless as pipes.
I'll smoke a cob anywhere I would smoke a commissioned pipe.
A guy who smokes a pipe is a pipe smoker. Now, I do have a standard to determine the difference between a "true" smoker and a "dilettante" smoker. But, it's not open for discussion so I'll not state it.
Some people are not comfortable unless everyone is labeled and fits in a predetermined pigeon hole. The get antsy when they can't readily ID a person a (insert label.) Life must be neat and uncluttered for many.
