Frequency and quantity

Subtilis87

How often do you pick up the pipe, and when you do how much do you smoke?

I would probably consider myself a hobbiest. I first picked up pipe smoking about a decade ago, and over the years my frequency of smoking has been very variable. At my most when I started a pipe club in college I would smoke a couple bowls once a week, but sometimes I will go months between bowls.

I average a bowl about every week or two but sometimes go longer. Recently, I've been getting 2-3 bowls a week. This is a major increase but I've also been smoking cigars a lot less now that I'm smoking my pipes more.

Not all that much but I have a group of pipes at hand and they get puffed off and on whenever I sit down. I also enjoy a large hand rolled cigar daily when I commute to work.

It depends on the time of the year since I smoke either outside or in my garage, as well as how much stuff I have going on at any given time. Lot's of variables, but always an enjoying smoke!

Most the time its once a day maybe twice on the weekend there have been days out fishing where it has been all day 

PappyBadger

Typically a bowl in the morning before work and another bowl before I head to bed. Sometimes one more after dinner...

judandhispipe

Every day, 3 to 5 bowls.

Corey562

Same here about 3 to 5 a day.

mhajec

2 times a day, everyday for the last few years. Before that, only about once a week.

I can't say as my smoking varies greatly however, I'm surprised when I realize that sometimes I've gone through 48 Oz of a specific tobacco and a few tins in a year.

idbowman

Summer time, 1-3 bowls per week (I tend to switch to cigars in the hotter weather).  The rest of the year, 1-4 bowls per day, depending on whatever else I have going on that day.

thesubcon

typically one pipe/bowl a week

pipeman83

At least 2 bowls a day when I'm able, I shoot for 3, but I don't smoke everyday because of other things I'm doing I don't get a chance to so when I can relax and enjoy a pipe it's 2-3.

woofstick

I have 1 or2 bowls a day when the notion strikes me. Then I can sometimes go for months between bowls.

DarkAngel

2-5 bowls a day, every day

Briarpipe

Wild Atlantic 

SuppressedRage

About 4-5 bowls per week.

pipesith

At least once a day. Every morning and the days I'm not working about 3 to 4 bowls.

tim12string

Every day. 3-6 bowls. And an occasional hand rolled cigar.

Selmerzs356

Usually twice a day.

PappyJoe

Usually one bowl a day during the week and 2 - 3 bowls a day on weekends.

ghostsofpompeii

I'm an everyday smoker, somewhere between two and three bowls a day. And always have a pipe and tobacco with me no matter where I go - even if I don't get an opportunity to smoke it.

Wolf41035

When ever I can but on good days that it is not cold outside I tend to smoke more.  I would say at times one or two a week and at other times five or six a day.....I also do the same with Cigars so I switch it up a lot.  lol

BigSkyPiping

Usually, I smoke my pipe 1 to 2 times a week.  If I get to smoke it during the week, I only smoke 1 bowl, but when I am enjoying it on the weekend, I almost always smoke at least 2 bowls.  If I could, I would smoke at least 1 bowl a day just to relax, but between work and the family getting to sit down during the week to enjoy my pipe does not happen that often.

Woodsman

1 bowl most days, sometimes 2, rarely 3.

thebadgerpiper

I'll have a few bowls a day, usually while I'm writing. I won't smoke every day, but at least a few times a week.

When-ever I'm trying to lose a little weight I find myself smoking more often to curb my appetite, get out of the house and away from temptation - and it usually works. My biggest problem is not that I crave sweets (and the majority of my blends are sweet aromatics), so smoking does nothing for the cravings ... my food craving tend to be for something on the salty side ... and tobacco doesn't hit that spot. So I usually pour a little apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, drink  it down, and that kills that helps.

@ghostsofpompeii -- I empathize: I've been described as vertically challenged but horizontally gifted....

I, too, am more salty driven (partly because of a low sodium diet for high blood pressure) than sweet driven, so I'm gonna try your apple cider trick.
BTW, How much is "a little"???

You have yet to mislead me......
