That's actually about the size of my smaller pipes. An easy clencher due to my lack of teeth.

I have a pretty good Idea where you got that one!

@sean. The longest I've ever got out of a clay pipe is 54min with St Bruno Ready Rubbed...This little pipe can smoke a crumble cake for over an hour:

And this clay German tavern pipe can easily smoke anything for over two hours... It can be annoying actually.

Many pipes are normally between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. Ribbons will smoke faster and require less relights and crumble cakes will smoke slower and require more frequent relights.
The clay pipe in my picture has a pretty large bowl compared to most clay pipes. I also have to pack it pretty light due to the long and narrow draft hole.@sean. The longest I've ever got out of a clay pipe is 54min with St Bruno Ready Rubbed...
@sean. My longest stem clay pipe is the best one for lighting with an ember from the blacksmith's forge at Viking & Redcoat re-enactments. I've told Jason the blacksmith I'll have my clay ready when I see him again!The clay pipe in my picture has a pretty large bowl compared to most clay pipes.

That's really cool! It also helps that they require minimal relights (sometimes none) so you won't be bugging the blacksmith too much.@sean.

@sean. I'd like to find out how long I can make a clay pipe of baccy last without relighting next time I meet Jason the blacksmithThat's really cool! It also helps that they require minimal relights (sometimes none) so you won't be bugging the blacksmith too much.
Looks like Frank is no longer making pipes.I have a pretty good Idea where you got that one!

well they're sort of right. The whole it's all about the flavor thing is suspect to me. But one you don't inhale and you'll actually get more of everything going slower.As understand it, the burning period of the pipe I have (20x30mm) is 10-13 min. If you take breaks and relight it afterwords you can say it lasted for 40 min or an hour. So it's a matter of choice if you smoke it all at once or prolong the process.
I did go on youtube after I started this thread and saw people barely producing any smoke, not inhaling and claiming it was all about the taste. I certainly don't want to offend anyone and I respect each one's ways but this is just not for me. I want it all and now
I got a great deal of information from this thread, thanks!
Reminds me of this guy that just left his job at my work. He'd ask me stupid questions and get frustrated because I didn't tell him he was right. He was a spoiled brat anyways. Ever met someone and think they're in their 20s and get shocked to find out their are in their 30s because they're so immature it seems impossible?Yes, he left in a huff, but I am not closing this one now as others are benefitting from the posts ongoing.
Yes!How long does a pipe last? As long as the wife, kids, or dog let me have a moment of peace .
Me too. That’s why I usually get interrupted. Bought a MM general the other day. Haven’t smoked it. Looked at the size and asked myself who I’m kidding. I’ll never have the time to finish that.Most smoking sessions with one bowl holding 3-5 grams lasts one hour or more for me. Sometimes a corn cob pipe lasts a little less time.
Yeah I tend to like smaller bowls or with a larger bowl fill it half way.Me too. That’s why I usually get interrupted. Bought a MM general the other day. Haven’t smoked it. Looked at the size and asked myself who I’m kidding. I’ll never have the time to finish that.
I usually end up putting a wind cap on my pipes part way through and finish it whenever I can. Usually not for a couple days. Sometimes the saved part gets so dry before I get around to it that I have to toss it out. Waste of tobacco. At Canadian prices, it makes me shed a small tear.
