Resting a Pipe

[C.S. Smoke]

How true is it that you can’t smoke a pipe multiple times a day? At this point I’ve just got the one briar and one cob. I don’t smoke much. Usually only on the weekends or if I’m with some friends maybe but on those days I might like to smoke multiple bowls, especially if camping

A cob can be smoked a few times a day without much ill effect. A properly caked briar can be smoked a few times a day if you wipe it out, the cake will absorb most of the moisture. A briar with no cake has nothing to absorb the moisture and needs to wiped out if you want to smoke it more than once in a day. The problem with this is that you will never build cake if you're constantly wiping out your pipe. This is of course just my opinion and there will be people with other opinions on the matter. Some people don't like to build cake in their pipes, I am not one of those people, but to each their own.

I often smoke the same pipe multiple times per day for weeks at a time before switching to another one with no issue. I do clean the pipe thoroughly between smokes though.

Marketing gimmick. Commie propaganda. Buddhist prayer..

one pipe is all you need

Hm. I guess it may just be that you old codgers need an excuse to tell the wives after coming home with a new pipe!

Why would we need an excuse or have to explain our purchases?

You may not, I was just poking fun

Just genuinely curious as to who or why such a thing would even come into play. I couldn't live like that.

 

[C.S. Smoke]

At the risk of being too practical, I think it’s more a matter of how you budget. I don’t have pipes or smoking in the budget right now so just as I’d expect my wife not to spend money on something not in the budget I think it’s right for me to stay accountable as well.

And I don’t mean at all to insist you meant otherwise, just explaining since you seemed curious.

You have to understand. @Chasing Embers is the king of his domains. The Lord of his castle. I'm just a humble husband to my lovely wife. To not offend her sensibility, I usually keep my pipes away from her beautiful eyes. Packages, tobacco and all. What she doesn't see can't hurt her.

I can only dream of reaching your level of meekness and humility @bullet08 thank you for your teachings

To each their own. I rest mine, but mostly because I have enough to rotate every smoke. I've smoked the same one multiple times in a day, and I've picked 3 or 4 and only smoked from those for a week or so before rotating. But usually I try to smoke one and let it rest for at least a day before reaching for it again.
I will say, I'm not conscious of these decisions. I just reach for whatever I feel like smoking and sometimes I feel like smoking a certain pipe more than usual.

When mommy isn't happy, no one is. Very important lesson.

Not true at all. Many folks over the years own one pipe and smoke it multiple times a day. It's your pipe and you can treat it as you wish. Some folks smoke a pipe and never clean it. They throw it away when it becomes too foul to smoke and attain another. Others at the other end of the spectrum are OCD and fastidiously clean after every bowl. Most of us are somewhere on that line.

Why the interest then? Just curious.

Nah, we just treat each other as equals.

I have a constant daily smoker and an occasional smoker along with a few others that I smoke rarely.

Thanks!

Im interested in pipe smoking because I really enjoy it, what I meant above is that I don’t have a pipe smoking budget where I feel I can drop the money on a rotation of pipes and a cellar of tobacco. But I have enough to indulge here and there.
