Same Pipe Twice in a Day?

[weezell]

Cleaned the pipe after each use, let it rest for some minutes, then it ready to used again. At least for me

Yep! But for me its mostly meers and cobs...

I often smoke the same pipe multiple times per day, as I usually take only one with me when I go ouit.

I smoked my huck finn at daily basis. Always wipe the chamber right after usage. Is it okay to do that?

Adam Davidson told a friend of mine that he smokes the same pipe everyday, all day long.

I think you can smoke a pipe pretty much all day, however many bowls you smoke. Many old pipe men would smoke their one pipe every day, all day, until it burnt out, but that's a different tribe of smokers from Forums members mostly. However, good reasons for switching pipes is to have a fresh dry pipe when you are changing blends. Another compelling reason to change pipes is when you have so many pipes you have to keep them in rotation so each pipe doesn't wait months to be smoked at all. If you just have a few pipes, go ahead and smoke one all day, then give it a rest for a few days until it's dry and smoke it again.

Absolutely.

All of the above answers have 0.4% probability of being correct, and 100% possibility of being correct.

I think it also depends on how experienced the smoker is.

A briar will take at least a few bowls in a day before smoking wetter. A cob will smoke all day, probably a few days, before smoking wetter. Pipe cleaners would extend all this obviously.

:rofl: the 0.4 is going to be a running joke on here now.

All you need to do is grab an old pipe off ebay and you’ll learn all you need to know about pipes. Namely, that thing that you were planning to fetishize was smoked 10 times a day for 40 years by some ol’ geezer with denture of steel and no conception of pipe “maintenance”, or what one might rather consider hygiene.These old bastards (the pipe, not the geezer but probably equally true) can handle a lot more abuse than an one might expect.
Don’t be a pipe dandy. Unless that’s your thing. I don’t want to be that guy that craps all over your thing. So yeah man, have fun with it.
Here’s my little test. If I pick up a pipe off the “rack” and take a puff...if it tastes wet, or you know, unpleasant, I put it back and grab another. I’ve got a bit of the princess and pea thing going on though...you may not.
There was a dude here a while back that used to smoke a little system Pete...I think it was a 317, something like 14+ times a day. He mentioned gurgle but he emptied the trap and soldiered on.

>>"going to be a running joke on here now. " -- I could use the notoriety.

I have done it. I let pipe cool down and run a pipe cleaner down the stem and bend it in half and wipe inside a little then repack and relight. Then I let it rest longer at the end of that day then if I just smoked it once.

As long as it's giving you an enjoyable smoke, keep puffing! :: Your pipe will tell you when it's tired when the smoke is hot and wet.

I only have three pipes and smoke three to four bowls a day. Truth be told my Pietenpauw gets the most work as it is my favorite. It is not the prettiest but it is the work horse of the trio and usually get two to three bowls of work a day almost every day. Heck, this morning I used it for PS LNF and then just now I used it again for ODF. I love this stinking (my wife means this literally) pipe!

Most of us suffer from Pipe Acquisition Disorder, so after a few years (or months) we have so many pipes we smoke a different one for every bowl just to get the good out of them.

At last count, I was at over 150 and still smoke the same one continuously for a week before changing out.

I am a tad bit anal in that I run alcohol soaked cleaners after every bowl. Well, I wait until I have a weeks worth and then clean them all at once. That does not stop me from enjoying several pipe bowls one after the other though. As long as you give the pipe some air time to evaporate moisture build up, you will be fine. I guess I am considered a pipe dandy but Bigpond is right. You will know by taste that a pipe needs rest.
