How Often Do You Smoke a Pipe?

[dingdong]

10-12 bowls a day when idling. 5-6 when at work/office.

 

[StuporSpoopy]

Daily, 2-4 bowls a day during weekdays (very limited downtime after work) and 8-12 bowls a day on the weekend depending on how early I wake up and how late I stay up.

Option A. (for All day).

Usually smoke cigars while driving, pipes when home or on breaks while building/developing.

Finally, a test question I have utter confidence in having answered "correctly."

Newbie here. Smoking 4-6 bowls a day. Let pipe go out sometimes and come back to it. Might do that a couple times on a bowl.

Newbie here. I smoke two bowls during the work week. One bowl to and from work and another when I am at home relaxing, so three smoking sessions but only two full bowls. The weekends are a different story.

Up until my recent job change I could only manage a daily smoke if I got that so I feel your pain on wishing you could get more in. I am happily smoking 0-4 a day now. Walking around work rocking my cob is glorious.

I am an occasional pipe smoker as I'm limited by time (work full-time, two children) and a place (I can't smoke anywhere indoors, I have no shed). I normally will smoke in the summer in the garden or on a walk on our local common (Wimbledon) or when we go camping. I wish I had more opportunity but until I move somewhere I own or have a relaxing outbuilding to hang out in, I have to be content with what I have!

So just out of nosey interest how often do you get to smoke?

A: Daily
B: Weekly
C: Monthly
D: Occasionally

You and I have some similarities. I can’t smoke in the house and have no shed so porch smoking is my lot. I’m not complaining, it’s a wonderful way to wrap up a busy day. The only problem is that my smoking is limited to warm months. Typically that means March-October. I’m hoping a shed is in our future.

As I read several of the posts I find that many have a common thread of not having a place to smoke. Can't inside and not shed, barn, outbuilding, etc. I understand as my wife doesn't mind me smoking a pipe, just not in the house.
Anyway, it makes me think about how different things were "back in the day" when it was commonplace to smoke inside of homes, office buildings, public structures and even hospitals.... It is a bit hard to get my mind around after so many years of the "anti-smoking" efforts.

Weekly. I don’t consume other nicotine, so I am not concerned with that. I sometimes need the stress relief of the ritual.

Per day = Zero
Per week = Zero
Ever = Zero

Curious. Not trying to chase you away, but why are you here on a pipe smokers’ forum?

Every time I dry some tobacco, pack a pipe with it, and grab a tamper and lighter.

If that makes me peculiar, so be it.

biyearly?
Me two to three times a day and a break on most weekends.

I like the kind of person that commits to a mistake like that.

 

[krizzose]

About 4 bowls a week. If I’m camping or at the family cottage, I may have a couple bowls per day

 

[MidnightPuff]

Daily less or more. At most I get around ten bowls, at least I get one. I use smokeless products when at work or short on time. I love both forms of tobacco dearly and am still trying to figure out what I love more.

A heated shed please with a small bar and selection of drinks!

Where is SaltedPlug? He's another one who doesn't smoke, but was quite active on here.

I haven't smoked my pipes since January.

In that time, I've bought a new Scottie Piersel pencil shank brandy and a Werner Mummert bulldog with polymerized corn leaves.

Also a few pounds of pipe tobacco and about 30 cigars.

I just like pipes and occasionally, a good cigar. But if I go some months without smoking them, that's fine too. Just haven't felt like it for awhile, but I do like a nice pipe.

To me, it's a valid form of art. A wood sculpture.

Pretty neat that you can also smoke out of them if you want.

Easier to put how often I’m not smoking a pipe and that would be when I’m smoking a cigar.

I bought my first pipe about 1968 or 69 when there was a guy who smoked a pipe with Borkum Riff in the study hall of the student union at the University of Nebraska, and it just smelled so good... NO WAY NO MORE.
