I don't really have any daily set routine when it comes to smoking the pipe. In the morning after I've been up for a while and had breakfast I'll make more coffee and either light up what I hadn't finished the night before or have a fresh bowl of Virginia/Burley usually in my small Wimbledon pot.
As for the rest of the day it really depends on what I'm doing. I don't take a pipe when out in the sreets and only take one to the countryside place if I'm not planning on doing much when there.

Long story short, some days I'll smoke more than other days.

Up every day at 6. Coffee on at 6:10am. Never smoke immediately. Pipe is something I look forward to with my second cup. If the weather is nice, I’ll take a drive.

I look forward to this hour. I smoke 1-2 bowls per day. Always back to back. Most always early morning.

I smoke about one bowl a day at the moment. My days are fairly regimented since I work primarily from home and help my kiddos with their remote schooling. Mainly in the afternoon. While I could smoke more in the evening, the garage is damn cold and makes the experience.....less pleasant.

Two to four times a week. Always in the evening. And usually Thursday through Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday just don’t seem to work for me.

During the work week I have one on my lunch break in my car while listening to an audiobook and then one in the evening after the kids get to bed. The one in the evening usually accompanies a tv show or movie.

Weekends I just have the one in the evening. So that's about 12 a week.

I never really counted.

I am "a smoker"; who rides the nicotine roller-coaster throughout the day and night.

When we first get up, it takes me about 20 minutes to get myself together, load my 1st pipe, get the dog's food set up, make my tea, and get them outside to do their morning-business and eat.

They eat, I smoke.

As I drink my morning tea, I continue to smoke as I watch them run around like two mentally deranged escaped convicts. Then, they finally calm down and while sitting on either side of me, they watch me smoke my 2nd bowl of the morning; apparently guarding me from any OTHER mentally deranged escaped convict dogs, deer, fox, squirrels, or people, who might come on the property with the intent of taking their dog toys or my pipe - at least I guess that's what they are on-guard against.

Then, I pretty much just smoke throughout the day and evening as I prefer, and always one bowl just before a meal, and, immediately after a meal; until bed-time, when I usually 'load-up' for the last bowl of the night with something nic-heavy to get me through my sleep till the morning - with the each dog on either side of me; totally passed-out.

So, if I had to guess, I'd say somewhere just North of 10.

Wake-up; repeat. - Sherm Natman

After two coffees but before breakfast, I have my first bowl. Then another when I walk the dog after breakfast. And often 5-6 more bowls throughout the day and evening.
But since I vowed to smoke far less in my TV room, (or anywhere inside) I am cutting back on the overall number of bowls. And far less second hand smoke.

On workdays, I smoke between 5 & 7 bowls. Two before, and the rest after. On days off I go a bit crazy and smoke for most of the day. Perhaps between 7 & 9 bowls. When I have three consecutive days off, that level proves too high and I end up with a somewhat scorched tongue. My aim now is to keep the maximum to 7 or below.
