Duration of Smoke

[deathmetal]

For me, the point of pipe smoking is that it is something I can do while doing other things.
It enhances life. It is not a focus in itself.
And at this point, I get about an hour to an hour and a half out of each bowl.

I sometimes go a day or two without a smoke, which some may think a tad strange. As for endurance, I'm only at the 20 mnute mark, way behind some of the endurance pipe smokers !

FWIW, rh, my bowls last between maybe 45 minutes to a couple of hours. I smoke when the mood strikes me, not out of any habit, for me that might be anywhere from twice a day to once a week. But anytime I smoke, I make the smoking experience the centerpiece of my relaxation, if outside, I usually rock in a chair, if inside, while watching a good T V program or movie, and usually after eating.

About 35 minutes to an hour if I am smoking something like Dunhill Royal Yacht, and about 1-2 hours if I am smoking a flake (I find those very hard to keep lit).

I'm with Cosmic, if you are somehow living a life in which you don't have even an hour a day to sit down, relax, and unwind I think you're living way too stressful of a life, and need to make some major changes.
I started pipe smoking precisely because I was high strung, and it forced me to sit down and relax.
Don't treat your pipe as if it were a cigarette; it's meant to be slow smoked and enjoyed, not seen as a simple nicotine delivery device.

I sometimes will wake up an extra hour earlier to smoke before getting the rest of the household ready for the day.

I admire this dedication.
