How many bowls do you smoke in a row or in one sitting?

[clanobucklin]

I am begining to lose my desire to have 1 bowl after another. Ie 2 bowls in one sitting. Seems the 2nd bowl is lost in the shuffle. If I knock this off - I will be averaging 3 bowls a day instead 4-5.
My reasoning is 1. time. 2. Since I am always switching blends - the 2nd bowl of different tobacco gets ghosted or doesn't smoke as well as the first. 3. Harder on my mouth.
However, I know some Folks out there just are ChooChoo's when it comes to smoking their favorite blends and their favorite pipes. So give me a shout - would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this? P.S. my Dad was a pipe chainsmoking fiend and I rarely saw him without his pipe in his mouth except for sleeping and eating. I am sure he took his pipe out of his mouth during other activities (hence my conception) but his smoking tenacity was something to be marvelled at. He was a pilot for United back in the day when he could promenade up and down the plane ailes during a break in flying the United 727s.'

Well I'm sure everyone has their different habits.
I usually don't go through a whole bowl in one sitting. Occasionally, yeah I do, but since I have to go outside, I tend to smoke a pipe in two sittings.

Normally, I load two pipes, and switch back and forth as they go out.

usually after one bowl of Penzance, I don't want anything else. :wink:

 

[judcole]

I smoke one bowl. That's it.

I normally smoke 1 bowl every day if I have time. If you're having ghosting problems then that can be solved with just changing the pipe. If you're doing back to back blends off a fresh pipe and a different tobacco I would change pipes.
But after 45min to an hour I think my mouth has had enough. If I go to a party and we start drinking I am constantly loading up pipe after pipe. I think the most I have smoked back to back is 4 bowls. And my mouth is paying for it the next morning. ::

One. Sometimes as it goes out I have a tinge of regret that I don't have time for another.

one bowl for me.

Most I smoke at once is when I get together at Uptown's here in Nashville and go through a Hearth and Home sample binge. Wonderful evenings, but I can only manage that a couple times a month. Other than that it's just a couple bowls a day at most for me and rarely, if ever, back to back.

One .. then at least an hour break, or dinner, or stuff in between.

Continuously... especially in the winter. As I type this I have read 150 pages of a book since 5:30, and smoked one large meer, and my Wiley which could hold 3-4 times as much tobacco as the meer. Both were HOTW which is a good hour smoke in the meer and a 2-3 hour smoke in the Wiley. When I am in my den, I am smoking.

I smoke an average of one bowl a day, but there are days that I load 2.
Exam studies usually more than that, sometimes up to 4 in a row,
1 a day is about my average, sometime less

 

[nmbigfoot02]

One the weekends, three at the most, possibly 4 if they're all small bowls. Typically it would be one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one at night. Anymore than that and I can't taste the blends as well and my mouth gets raw.

 

[zanthal]

I have put my pipe aside for a couple of days because I've got a nasty cough.
I miss it.

Always the worst isnt it?
I feel a sore throat coming on......I am still in denial

 

[majilton]

smoke one bowl in one but recently getting new pipes i have gone to two because i just have to try the new pipe out

 

[lordofthepiperings]

Pretty much just one bowl. There is a very rare occassion where I'll have enough time and it's a nice enough day out that I'll just load the bowl again with whatever I'm smoking and enjoy another hour or so with a second bowl, but as I said that's very rare.

 

[juvat270]

About 90% of the time I smoke two bowls back to back but with different pipes. I'll generally smoke a bowl of English and then smoke a bowl of whatever aromatic or non-english I'm currently enjoying.
I average about 6 bowls a day and if I could, I'd probably smoke more than that. I'm guilty of being a chimney.

 

[igloo]

Two or three most evenings . Sometimes less .

 

[sherlock]

Normally one bowel in a sitting and I only smoke once a day. Every ince in a while I will smoke two bowels in a row, usually the same blend. The main reason for this is that I smoke outside in a shed. It is fairly warm, but after a bowel I am ready to go inside. If I could smoke inside I would probably smoke a couple of bowels a day, but not is a row.
