In general, a bowl a day. I take a few days off If I have a bug, and occasionally in a serious pipe mood I smoke several. For me, it's not an all-day habit, more of a centering activity to relax and regroup.

I do a lot of intermittent smoking. For example, I am just now finishing up my St. Patrick's Day pipe, the day after. I don't buy a lot of tobacco, but because I don't smoke a lot, I have quite a cellar relative to my smoking habit. I buy a few tins and/or baggies of bulk every few months, and some of my blends go back years.

I don't think I have much of a nicotine habit. When I lay off for some days, I get no cravings. I never pick out a blend for a nicotine fix, but usually choose the stronger blends for flavor. My dad was an all-day pipe smoker, but my mom never bought a pack of cigarettes that didn't go stale, She liked to gesture and dramatize with a cigarette, but I don't think she got hooked on nicotine at all, just didn't have those nic receptors. I think I got her genes on that score.

I am very similar in my smoking frequency, usually one, sometimes several, occasionally none.

I very rarely smoke a pipe all the way through in one go, it often gets put down and picked up minutes, hours, or even days later. Sometimes on Saturday morning (like now) when I'm tidying my desk and smoking area I'll find three or four partially smoked pipes, which I then finish and get a solid nic buzz and need a nap, a snack, or a walk, depending on my mood.
