I would say 18-20 hours per day I've got a pipe lit. I have Kodiak in my jaw when sleeping.

Have you figured out a way to smoke in the shower yet, or do you just take baths as a simpler solution?
I do cold baths. The pressure and heat of shower water irritates my eczema so definitely smoking while bathing.
Baths call for a desk/table pipe. Those things need to come back!
Bowl size is the great unknown variable from my perspective. I like shag and flake tobaccos very high in Vitamin-N (e.g. Kendal Dark), which means I smoke in small bowls. 10 small bowls of such blends is probably reasonable.
If you are daily smoking 10 Peterson House Pipes loaded with with Gawith Hoggarth Brown Twist, then you are likely not long for this world. Alternatively, you may be doing just that and revealing that you are immortal.

If I'm awake there is usually a pipe/cig/coffee/food in my mouth between words/breaths. YMMV , no wrong way
I don't laugh out loud often, but this made me chuckle. I have both large and small chamber pipes for various reasons and situations.
The large for weekend mornings with a bottomless cup of coffee. The small for weeknight smokes when particularly stressed.
Working full time while raising a 4 year old makes it currently difficult to smoke as much as I'd like. Small pipes of a stout blend are ideal for this situation. If retired, it would be a whole different situation.
For me it varies.
At most I’ll smoke maybe 5-6 in a day. Usually one a day, or none.
If my sinuses are acting up, it’s kind of pointless to smoke a bowl.

Those house pipes are too small for my liking but I've not found Gawith blends to have much in the way of nicotine. I usually just chew them especially Black Twist XX.
I am glad I could give you a laugh. You and I are in similar situations. Our days to smoke large, leisurely bowls are years off. Here’s hoping we both get to enjoy them!
Amen brother. I'm hopeful to get past 58 as my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed at 58 with a great-great not even reaching that far.
Cheers.
My body will tell me when I’m smoking too much. Irritated tongue or throat is usually the message. Sometimes the smoke itself is irritating, it will be harsh or off tasting and I try to take that as a sign to take a break.
66 seems to be the expiration limit for my family. Just glad I live nowhere near where tobacco use is frowned upon.
@didimauw has a family expiration to beat too.
My uncle was sweating his 58th year (seriously), but made it. However, he wasn't the first son.
May we all get further than our parents, whether by age, money, or otherwise. Just don't resuscitate me. My affairs are set up so my daughter will be okay and I need the rest.
I'm okay with it. Decline of physical and mental faculties of advanced age worries me more than death.
Yup, both parents, 57, 3 years apart.
I got 24 years to see if I can make it!
You have eczema too? Mine showed up last year.... Ughhhh
Try plain Dawn dishwashing liquid for bathing and Hydrocortisone ointment, not the cream, for outbreaks.
