Do You Recommend a 15 Minutes Pipe Smoking Session? :D

[lotharen]

Here's the thing. Most of my smokes are 15 - 30 minutes in length. This is simply because I was never told just how long a bowel lasts. Couple that with getting sick easily with nicotine and I'm to afraid to smoke longer.
I've often thought I'm at the end of the bowel to find out I'm dumping good tobacco into my jar of ashes.

Jrenko- Just how do you smoke a pipe for two hours, much less more than that??

I am going to assume that he smokes a few bowls over that time or that he uses a massive pipe or that he is competing to beat the slow smoke world record.

[dulgunz]

It doesn't matter if you are only smoking 15 minutes or up to an hour. Are you enjoying the smoke? If you answered yes, then time doesn't matter at all.

 

[nerdiceclipse]

Honestly, like others have said... It's your pipe and your tobacco, your time. The only way to do it wrong is to do it any way other than that which pleases you. What's right for some may not be right for you. What's wrong to others may suit you fine. It's an activity meant to be enjoyed. Do it how you feel most appropriate! There's no college of pipe smoking and no rulebook. Do what you do!

Good one. I might be able to coax two hours out of that one....

I agree with jpmcwjr, I sit my pipe down all the time and come back a few hours later. It always seems better when I light it up again. Who cares, there are no rules in pipe smoking (that I'm aware of)

 

[brightleaf]

One thing that has not been mentioned and is my main reason for recommending a short smoke. Money. Short smokes save you lots of it. I think buying expensive tobacco is very affordable, contrary to what I've heard about the hobby. I pack small amounts, ten minutes maybe, and inhale much of the smoke. I can usually get a strong buzz and get more than enough smoking pleasure. When smoking a pipe I don't like to be distracted with other chores, I like to sit back and contemplate. Ten to fifteen minutes is something I can expect to find, much more than that is asking for an interruption.

 

[crashthegrey]

Do what you have to do, and enjoy it. I would prefer to live in a world where I had an hour to sit down for every pipe I ever want. Maybe one day I will live in that world.

 

[mso489]

Pipes are pretty flexible, moreso than cigarettes or cigars to my mind. With a good big bowl packed with slow-burning ribbon or flake, you can smoke for an hour or more, or intermittently for two or three hours, if you are doing something that requires your full attention, away from the pipe. This is somewhat possible with a cigar, though the expense probably suggests you don't want to waste the stogy re-iighting a lot. And cigs really don't accommodate relights much, as in, why bother? Even a small pipe with flake can be smoked in installments. I think many pipe smokers enjoy longer smokes, to read or contemplate, or listen to music; but when this isn't possible, shorter stretches over time work fine.

 

[vokaa]

I have a small cob pipe I use in the morning. It's small enough where I have a quick smoke, which I prefer for a morning ritual. Can't spend all morning smoking sadly. But when I have the time to do it, I'd never rush it, not as enjoyable as a long few bowls.
