I smoke anywhere from 0-3 pipes per day. I usually smoke 1-2 pipes, sometimes 3, and a significant amount of days 0.

Good Luck!!! God Bless!!! Happy Puffing!!!

Usually 5-6 Group 5 bowls per day. I try to smoke each pipe only once per week as advised by many, but the size of my collection doesn't usually allow this :-(

My credit card company is going to enjoy this more than I will

Ten, but then my normal day is 15 to 18 hours long and is spent behind the wheel of a truck with nothing but my pipes and radio to keep me company.

Are we talking about numbers of individual pipes smoked in a given day, or how many bowls ? Gosh,this is a little embarrassing, but I can't even count the number of bowls. I bring one pipe to work each day, but in the evening I may smoke 3 or 4 different pipes. I am never far from a pipe and a pouch.

on a workday no more than three or four. Weekends or if I take the day off, like today,too many too count. I can't read or internetize(word from Funn Dictionary) about pipes too long with out smoking one.

I normally smoke 2 or 3 pipes per day; maximum of 2 bowls per pipe on a given day. Most days it's just one bowl per pipe.

I carry 5 in the truck, but seldom smoke more than 3 per day.

Lately, I have been putting some of them to the "multiple smoke day after day" test. They are cobs, and they seem to be holding up. A little swelling near the bottom.

On work days, generally 2-3 bowls. On weekends that is usually doubled to as many as 6.

2 bowls per pipe? I thought it was "not good" for the briar? Because she should be rest for a couple of days. Good new for me.

I usually have two smokes a day, sometimes three on the weekend. I only smoke an individual pipe once a day, but up to three times before cleaning, then let it rest for at least two to three weeks, usually longer. Seems to work for me.

Truckerchuck,

If you smoke a number of times as you drive, what is your loading routine? The reason that I ask is that I recently had to drive 600+ miles on three seperate occasions (we moved); one time, and only one time, did I load while driving- a one-handed, poorly-loaded, often relit bowl. For the rest of that trip, I used gas stops for loading. And for the next two trips, I loaded 4 bowls, then covered them with aluminum foil.
What method do you use?

Gary

Gary, my guess would be: stop for a coffee and fill 10 pipes at once.

I've read somewhere that Georges Simenon (author of Inspector Maigret) used to fill all his pipes (a LOT of pipes) before starting to write and smoked them one after another. He hated interruptions of any kind.

Also Stubb from Moby Dick used to fill all his pipes every morning and smoke them throughout the day :-)

And not to be off topic, I smoke one a day, rarely two. I plan to increase this rhythm since my 6 open tins of tobbaco are getting dry.

I average six to ten a day. It sounds like alot but between commuting four hours a day plus the eight to ten hour days I sometimes smoke more. I pre-load four pipes in the morning and during breaks throughout the day.

Hello,

In my glory days I would smoke between ten and fifteen bowls per day. With a baby in the house and my wife and I both full-time students, though, I am lucky if I can get in five smokes any given day.

Although I don't know how Truckerchuck does it, I would personally load them all up at once, although if the baccy being smoked was dry, I would only pack 2-3 at a time. Just my 2 cents worth.

Good Luck!!! God Bless!!! Happy Puffing!!!

An evening bowl on the weekdays and as many as I can squeeze into the weekend - usually 3 or 4 bowls. Truckerchuck is my hero!

Lately it's been more like 3-4 per week. It has been 1-3 per day.. sometimes more if I had to stay up for awhile. The only reason I'm up as late as I am right now is the lit pipe clenched in my teeth.

I smoke 3 or 4 bowels during the week in a different pipe for each bowel. I have many pipes dedicaded to different baccy's, I.E. A few for Black Mallory, one for Dark Birds Eye, a few for Hal for the Wynd, 2 for Penzance, a few for this Va or that etc... I may smoke up to and more than 7 pipes a day on the weekend if possible.

usually I puff 3-4 bowls a day. Usually I light up when I get into my car so it looks something like this

go to day job -smoke
go home from day job -smoke
go to night job -smoke
go home from night job -smoke

some days more, some less, depends on how often my tuchus is parked in the driver's seat!
