Every time I feel I should cut back on my pipe, I go have a smoke till it wears off.

Well, I love to smoke my pipe for sure, and as often as I can. I kind of have a control break on it though for a Friday. I really enjoy scotch with the pipe on Friday night so I can only smoke for so long because I will run out of scotch.
I'll chain smoke my pipes maybe 2 or 3 days a week. It all depends on my mood. Some days I'll just stay with dip and an occasional pipe. I don't finish a bowl and then light up another one right away. I'm lighting up the next bowl maybe 45 minutes later.
My father smoked his pipe all day every day.
It's 7:30am and I've been up since 5. I've smoked 4 bowls so far. So, what does that make me?
If I could at work I'd smoke all day long. Id get some nice coloring on my meerschaum in no time!
I work from home so I usually have a pipe in my mouth all day.
I must admit I take breaks from the pipes when I eat meals and use the restroom. Other than that whenever I can.
I was at my last job. New job has sort of gotten in the way of it, but when time permits I do smoke frequently. It's actually more enjoyable since I've cut back. Overall, I'm having a better experience each smoke as opposed to when I smoked all day every day. Still smoking about 5 bowls a day, but that's less than half of what I smoked for the past year or two
On a good pipe day I may get 4+ bowls in averaging 3. I don't smoke when I'm working in the yard or tending to another hobby (e.g., golf), finding that I end up paying attention either to smoking or the activity to the detriment of the other. Don''t do cigarettes, cigars (old habit) or chew.
No. Half dozen bowls a day, at most. Maybe a small cigar. Cigarettes, maybe one per annum, mooched.
I’m only at about two bowls per week, and that’s enough for me given my time constraints. I always want to take my time and enjoy something fine slowly.
This may be too much information, but I do enjoy a pipe during my morning time on the throne.
.... I now have this to add to the reasons I am hesitant about estate pipes.

Now that is funny......actually it is wicked pissa. From one Bostonian to another. I live in Florida now. Once I gave up snow skiing I had no reason to live up north.
I forgot the OP's post. I smoke a Camel Blue 99 with my first cup(30 oz. Yeti) of coffee. I drink two of those a day with my favorite Cafe DuMonde coffee and then switch too water or decafe iced tea. I usually get 4-6 bowls a day in depending on the size of the bowls. So yeah basically I am smoking something.
I then start smoking pipes till the end of the day or night whenever. I will usually smoke one more Camel before bed.

Just imagine the ones dropped in the commode.

Another "in moderation" guy here. I'll only smoke back to back pipes if on a fishing or sailing trip, and even then not usually. In everyday life, I never have more than one bowl a day, on average a few times a week. I can go weeks at a time without a pipe when schedules don't allow or just when I don't have an interest. I've always said that the day I experience an actual craving is the day I give it up entirely. Almost 30 years in, that's still working, but who knows...
