Smoking Frequency

[bullet08]

Once a day at most if weather permits. Today was a good day.

 

[sablebrush52]

My consumption has definitely gone down from 5-6 bowls a day to 2 and occasionally 3. Some days I don't smoke at all.

 

[leonardbill1]

Around 8-10 small to medium sized bowls a day from morning though late evening.

 

[charf]

Usually just one on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, which is right now. ?

 

[deadidunn]

None for the 2 weeks I'm offshore. Then 1 or 2 a day the 14 days home.

 

[Flatfish]

If I have a long drive and work it’ll kick up to 14 or 16.

Are there enough hours in the day?
?

 

[WNCLEE28466]

You just smoke whenever you want. There are no general rules, just your rules... Enjoy the smoke. Best, LeRoy

 

[Sgetz]

I'm a one to two a week man. I don't smoke in a year what some smoke in a fortnight. I believe there are a few like me on here. But not many .

 

[eljimmy]

1-2 pipes every night.

 

[JOHN72]

I only work mornings or afternoons. So I take the opportunity to smoke before work. In the morning I only have time to smoke a small pipe, at five o'clock in the morning, since I get up with the first coffee. About four pipes after work. On my days off from work, I can smoke all day long, maybe 8 pipes in total, some cigars too. I hardly use small bowl, at the moment medium to large bowl. If I have a bad day, I don't smoke at all, I take a walk for an hour to get some air and relax my mind. Stress or bad mood, makes me not enjoy a good cigar or pipe. Cigars, but on my days off, I alternate pipe and cigar. In short, I don't think about how much I smoke or should smoke, if I am at peace, I just grab my tobacco.

 

[FurCoat]

On work days 1 and occasionally 2 bowls per day. On the weekends I smoke between 2 and 6 bowls.

 

[UncleRasta]

On workdays 3-4 per day. Weekends, probably 6.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I've cut down from 10-12 to no more than 6 a day. But, lately, I've even had a few 3 pipe days, but those tend to be days when I am also smoking cigars.

 

[CDubMoney]

I'm returning to the pipe smoking hobby, and am only smoking 1-2 pipefuls a day, 2-3 days a week. Frankly, I hope to increase that to maybe 1 every morning and evening, but with two small children (under 3), it's hard to find time and still get decent sleep.

 

[dctune]

I don't smoke my pipes when I'm sleeping, eating and taking a shower. Other then that the pipe is permanent fixture in my mouth.

If you don’t smoke in the shower, can you even call yourself a real pipe smoker?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

If you don’t smoke in the shower, can you even call yourself a real pipe smoker?

Yeh, that does sound sorta "casual" to just set your pipe down when you shower. Lacks conviction.

 

[dctune]

For me, I go through phases, honestly. Sometimes it’s driven by what I’m doing. But mostly it’s driven by what I want to taste on, if that makes any sense.

I.e., there are seasons when I open a jar of Virginias, take a whiff, and it’s the most enticing thing ever. So I smoke that a bunch, maybe 3-6 bowls a day. Then there’s times when I sniff and it’s just “meh.” So I sniff a different jar and see what hits, or I try to identify what flavor I’m craving.

There are also times when I sniff 7-8 different jars and nothing entices me. Rather than waste a good smoke when that happens, I use it as an opportunity to let my pipes “rest.” Then when I come back to them in a day or so, they taste amazing.

So on average, I’m 1-5 bowls per day. Lately, trending more towards 1-2 a day. But subject to change at any given time.

 

[anotherbob]

I've read a few studies and such about the health effects of pipe smoking and the one group that shows a notable i.e. somewhat provable or probable link to health problems smoke enough bowls that I seriously doubt they even stop smoking to eat or to do anything. Like it was a number of pipes fulls that even assuming 30 minutes per smoke that would have accounted for almost all waking moments. So the take away is don't worry too much about it.

 

[Mr_houston]

1 or 2 (usually 2) smokes, 5 to 7 days a week, late afternoon or evening.

 

[Ted Vig]

I'll have two before work and three to four every evening. Weekends it's anywhere from five to ten a day.
