First Bowl of the Day

[bearwolf56]

I'm curious when do you smoke your first bowl of the day especially those of you who smoke multiple bowls a day? My first bowl is first thing in the morning with my coffee which is usually within 15mins. after I get out of bed. I switched to pipe smoking when I quit cigarettes, so I just kept the same routine when I smoked them.

Pretty much like yourself. Soon as I roll out of bed, I grab a cup of coffee and a pipe.

I absolutely love a morning pipe with black coffee but that’s a weekend luxury for me. I usually enjoy a pipe after dinner on weekdays and if at all possible both on the deck watching the birds in my back garden but not opposed to having my evening pipe from my chair in the library or living room when it’s cold out. Normally I can enjoy several pipes each weekend day but my schedule rarely allows for two on work days.

I like to make my cup of coffee and go into our side yard to watch the sun come up and our little town awaken for a new day. The pipe smoke mixed with the dark roast coffee is a true treat to me and is the highlight of my day. My Lab/mix dog and I enjoy watching the birds say good morning to us. There is just something comforting about a good cup of coffee and a good pipe (usually with a Codger blend) to start a day.

I top up my nicotine level upon rising with a bowl or a cigarette during my morning ablutions. I continue smoking throughout my day.

EMP as soon as the poor over coffee is ready. 2-3 bowls before I switch to something with a lil more Nic after lunch

Smoking a pipe I almost experience it like, if I was constantly eating the same thing, or always stuffing something in my mouth, so I don’t always smoke, because I’m not always eating, or eating the same thing everyday.

I certainly don’t start eating 15 minutes after awakening, so I’ve never smoked like this.

Just like eating, I eat when hungry, as most, not a habit.

‘Eat to live, don’t live to Eat.

So when it comes to smoking, I smoke whenever the urge strikes, but, it’s usually later in the day, and not always every day.

Sometimes my mouth is just worn out constantly smoking, and like trying to eat chicken non stop and everyday, it’s not enjoyable.

Have you ever eaten so much of the same thing, it just made you sick, to even think of that food? Not that I feel that way with tabac and my pipe, but sometimes I just need to give it a rest, and sometimes my mouth does get irritated, if I smoke to much.

But I bet there are some who have gotten tired of smoking the same blend a lot.

So to answer, I might of had occasionally a bowl at Noon time, I don’t smoke in the morning.

I rarely start my day off like this, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis it will always be a weekend day, after breakfast, and usually a burley based blend. For me, C&D Eight State Burley is the winner so far for such an endeavor, paired with either a cup of coffee or a hot tea. But VAs are nice for this too. I will rarely reach for an English blend this early, however; ditto aromatics. I work from home, so most workday smokes will be around late afternoon/early evening, though I only smoke a couple of bowls per week in most instances.

I always smoke 2 cigarettes with my morning cup of coffee to start my heart and then switch to a pipe.

 

[AppalachianPipe92]

About an hour after being awake. At least a cup of coffee before while I wake. Then usually once I'm dressed and up and at em, I smoke my first bowl and continue working on the pot of coffee.
Sometimes it's earlier, sometimes later.

I'm mostly an evening smoker, though mid day on weekends and other days off is not uncommon.

Currently recovering from a foot surgery, so more free time than usual and more pipes.

 

[TexJake]

During the week, if I manage to get to sleep early enough that I feel good about getting up “early,” then I’ll have a pipe before I head out for the day. My commute is about 50 minutes, so every once in a while I’ll smoke on the way to work. Otherwise, it’s often evening time before I can have a pipe, and it’s not possible every day. The exceptions are weekends, when I usually start my day with one.

In either case, it’s usually something stronger in flavor and nicotine to get me going.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Earl Gray and a pipe full of sweet Virginia Flake immediately after breakfast. The best time of the day.

 

[judcole]

Burley in a cob in the mornings.

 

[Python 357]

I have a bowl or two of a strong English before I even get out of bed as I`m reading the Daily Mail...

 

[paulfg]

my routine pipes seem to be at 11 am with my morning coffee and 7.30 pm after my evening meal daily.
Other bowls may come before,between or after this times but rarely before 9am

 

[UncleRasta]

With my morning coffee most days. Within a half hour of waking.

 

[makhorkasmoker]

I smoke half a bowl or so of strong burley first thing, before even coffee. At this time of year, this is at dawn, so I get the watch the sky lighting up.

 

[El Capitán]

I usually smoke what's available. Since I was sent a sampler, my mornings have been experiencing the new blends. I wake up, brush my teeth, drink a bottle of water, take care of my pets, and eat. I then settle down to smoke after I clean my pipe.

 

[Steddy]

First bowl is either morning or early afternoon if I don’t have time. I love a C&D Burley blend with black coffee for my first smoke.
