How Many Bowls Per Day? Yeah Yeah I Know It's Been Asked Before

[mso489]

The Dunhill Group sizes always make me smile. There may be actual standards for these somewhere, although I believe they might be pretty shaky with so many different chamber configurations. It would take someone adept at calculus to categorize every pipe to standards. I joke that the Group sizing system was designed to frustrate engineers and other technicians who like quantitative data that makes sense. Whereas, if you are a non-techie and just learn how various pipes are sized, after you own a few, you can somewhat get it right by intuition. I think it is or was Iwan Ries who noted Group size on their online inventory, and that gave me a pretty good feel for it after a while. And it was a "feel," and not a precise measure. For this survey, I say a bowl is a bowl. Whether it's Brad with his megapipes or members sipping flake in their Group Ones.

I smoke anywhere from 3-5 bowls per day.

Same here. 3-5 a day (depending on the blend strength) in medium bowls.

It is hard to work them in when I go to college and the pansies won't let me smoke there.

But they know better than you, and it's for your own good. Don't you realize that? :wink:

That's an old thread. Harris wanted up to date info.

So... anyone want to talk about men, and what manliness smells like, how much more manly so and so is, or go on about how they just looooove men... ha, and other un-manly things like that? I think Jesse was getting the MANLY itch earlier in the thread.

I smoke around 5 a day but most are in a small cob. Been thinking I should get it down to one or two even skip a day here or there, bring it back to leisure enjoyment rather than a need, if I'm being honest. I think the whole inhaling thing is what got me, haha there's a whole other cringing subject.

That's the joke, it's from the thread he started about people responding with links to old threads.

Right now 1 or 2 bowls a day. I do work from home so that gives me a lot of flexibility but I've also been really busy as of late.

It varies for me but it seems to be never less than 3 and hardly ever more than 6 these days. I can't help but notice what Harris did and that is that if I smoke 6 a day it seems as though I never take the pipe out of my mouth. Those squeezing upwards of 10 throughout the day are impressive and I wonder how you do it. I do tend to smoke flakes almost to the point of exclusivity though and I do smoke pretty slowly I think.

2-4 per day........

Anywhere from 6-12 a day. I strive for 12 but I don’t always reach that goal cause life gets in the way. You’ve got to remember, I always smoke my pipes in tandem so if I smoke 6 times in one day I’ve smoked 12 bowls.
