I was smoking ten to twelve a day, and was trying to cut back to six. I was doing ok, but then since I've been sick for the last week and lost my voice, I have been lucky to get two in, and I haven't gotten any in today. I can't wait to recover, so that I can get back to smoking ten to twelve and trying to cut back to six. puffy

One a day plus a couple of cigarettes. If I can cut out the cigarettes, I might try and go to two a day, but I enjoy the one bowl so much I feel like smoking more might diminish the expereince.

In general, such a reply is not on. We just don't tell newcomers to effin' google it or similar.

A link to another discussion is fine, though.
with all due respect I didnt say feking google it.
I suggested using the search button as this stops repeating existing threads and yes maybe I should have also linked to the existing one.
I didnt think of it.

Surely keeping the same questions in one place helps keep the forum tidy?

As many as I want, ten. plus or minus one or two . I think you were asking a question. Correct?
Warren, lol. You crack me up so often. You really should be doing stand up. I smoke around 4-5 a day. My pipes normally last 2 plus hours each as I smoke folded and stuffed flakes in group 4-5 sized pipes.

I enjoy all the threads. Often we get different responses and with a memory like mine, every day is Saturday. —I’m retired and an early morning person, as in up before the sun. —No better way to start the day than a cup and a bowl. Maybe even second cup and a second bowl.

There are occasions when I grab an afternoon cup and I’ll want to load up too. But mostly mornings.

How many bowls do you have a day?


I hit the bowl twice a day when I'm regular. More if I've had pasta since I have some reaction to gluten though I am not willing to give up gluten since what they don't tell you is that it's what adds flavor to wheat. Ever had gluten free pasta or bread? It's not good. I'm not sure it qualifies as food.

If you mean pipe bowls, on the days I smoke then its 3 to 5.

I smoke
Are you smoking a little micro sized pipe? lol my average smoke time is around an hour and a half even with my smaller pipes. That would have me lighting up a pipe as soon as I open my eyes non stop all the way till when I sleep ?

I smoke medium sides bowls mostly, with a few smaller ones. I smoke about two bowls an hour, and start in the early evening and just keep puffing until my tongue gives out lol. I kick out the dottle fairly early, usually, so that factors in. I also don't smoke much flakes, and if I do I rub them out well I to ribbon.

If I am smoking in the wind, i will go through a bowl very quickly while actually smoking little.

if I am smoking a flake, a bowl lasts much longer than when I’m smoking shag

and then there is bowl size…a larger bowl might last much longer than a small

so I will answer: I spend about 40 minutes a day actually smoking, but that’s a guess. I have not timed myself
Yes the time spent smoking is probably a more accurate metric in this case, more useful than actual bowl numbers. I smoke for about 5-6 hours on my free days, 2 or so on my working days. I'm a massage and bodywork/manual therapist so I can't be smelling like smoke.
