How Many Bowls A Day?

[Branzig]

Well, how many bowls do you smoke a day on average?!

I have really crummy allergies and odd sensitivities, so how often I smoke is directly related too how I am feeling. Some days, there is no way I could smoke without my ears closing up on me the next day and my sinuses getting congested like crazy. Other times, I could smoke 5 bowls straight with 0 repercussion... Guess I just have a weird head :p

I would say I don't average even a bowl a day, but I easily smoke at least 5 a week.

[MrMotoyoshi]

I typically smoke at least 1 bowl a day and 3 at the most. If it's a special day/I go to the pub, it increases to about 5. I would like to be one of the 5 a week kind of people.

[Pugsley]

Typically 4 bowls a day when I'm at home. If I'm out running around or visiting my militant anti-tobacco-nazi children and grandchildren, it may be fewer.

[mooster]

I've really slowed down during the last year. Now it's rarely more than one bowl on a work day, one and a half to two on a day off. On the plus side, my cellar should last forever this way...

[LandonColby]

I'd say I average about 3 a day.

Jim "The Iron Tongue" (as I like to call him) Inks is definitely a 7+er.

[Emperor Zurg]

Less than 1. I have a sensitive tongue for some reason.

I was really hoping this was going to read "it may be more" :o

I'm in the couple bowls a day camp.

Sounds like a mechanical problem with tongue-fry as a symptom. Fixable.

Me? One to three a day. Some days none. Didnt pick up a pipe or cigar September - January (I think) while ill - never interested then and definitely no withdrawal like from cigs or Copenhagen back in the day...

[Horseshoe]

I have one or two bowls a week. They are partial bows on top of that. With this crazy cold weather, I haven't had time or ambition to freeze my arse off.

[Nature]

Varies. I could go several days or even a week+ between bowls, or daily for 4 days in a row, or 3 in a day. Still probably averages to about 3-4/week.

[Cool Breeze]

Varies. I could go several days or even a week+ between bowls, or daily for 4 days in a row, or 3 in a day.

This describes me as well.
I probably average 1 per day but they don't actually happen once each day. I may not smoke for 3 days, then sit on the balcony with a cob and smoke 3 bowls straight.

When it warms up it will probably decrease a little because cigars will come back into the mix. So then it will probably be a couple stogies a week and a couple bowls a week. I'm not prejudice. I love em both.

[tmoran]

10-12 a week. M, W, F I have a long commute, so I normally have a bowl each way. Typically none T, Th. 2-3 each day on Sat, Sun, sometimes supplemented with a cigar on weekends.

[izkeh]

I'm right about a bowl a day. Weekends can be 2-3 depending.

I wish this were an open poll so I could see who the slackers are! It's a rare day I smoke less than 7, but I will admit to smoking a lot of cobs that have smallish cargo space.

[PMR]

I'm at 2 a day right now. In the morning on my way to work and then right after lunch when I take a little time to read and relax. On the way home I still smoke a cigar. My cigars are starting to pile up since I'm not smoking 2 or 3 of them a day. When my season gets busier this spring though I will most likely have to drop the middle of the day smokes.

I've already admitted to being a slacker so DO YOUR WORST!! http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k553/Baggabonez/GIFs/Storm_zps2a8cb1c9.gif

Not everyone is a Legend such as you Jim :D

You sayin' Jim smokes great but he's only worth 4 bucks? What a cheap shot.
At the very least, he's a Forever Legend! :pipe:

I'm glad someone picked up on my lame pun :p

Ok, we'll throw a forever stem on Jim...I mean the guy does have staying power you must admit.

[Jonas]

Maybe 3-4 a week

[KungFumeta]

I average a little over one a day, perhaps nine or ten bowls a week tops. Most of them are small briars and cobs, and I smoke some half bowls so it's a small amount of tobacco when compared to the number of bowls. It takes me forever to go through an ounce.
I generally pack a pipe with coffee and light it before I leave for work. I have a short commute so there is about a quarter of a bowl left when I get there which I smoke on the trip back. Rarely will I smoke another pipe when I get home. Sometimes a tiny 15 minute MM short stop after dinner. Bigger pipes on the weekend, but never more than four. Some days I won't smoke a pipe at all.
I've cut way way back on the stogies since I got on the pipe and snuff.
So it's all pretty chaotic but there is a change in jobs coming up and with more opportunities to smoke comfortably in my own home I fully expect stogies to come back in full force and piping to stabilise.

[Demuths1770]

its not really a day number for me. i usually have 2-3 bowls a week and usually more if i make make it to a lounge

[cpmcdill]

When the weather's cold, I'll smoke 4-6 bowls a day, plus maybe a cigarillo or two, and sniff a lot of snuff. When I'm driving I use snus. These are the things I can get away with using indoors without stinking the place up too much. When the weather gets more agreeable I spend a lot more time outside, and that's when I am likely to go with bigger cigars, and the pipe smoking drops to 3-ish a day.

[Chris0673]

Lately, my smoking has been down to once or twice a week. I know that seems pretty low but consider I have a pretty heavy course load for school! Although, it does seem to help keep me focused on reading my text books if I'm smoking a bowl of something nice. So that may increase soon!

[LivingDeadGuy]

On a daily basis after work I pack two of my pipes then smoke them on the way home

[cbr310]

Usually 1 after work to relax, and maybe another while playing on the pc.

[JustTroItIn]

I almost always have a bowl during the morning commute. After work, 1-2 bowls on average. If I go out socially to a smoke friendly place I may smoke 3-4 bowls in a row. Pipe club is this Thursday. I'm sure I'll have quite a few.

[Bruck]

I usually smoke in the evenings, either a pipe or a cigar. On pipe nights it's usually 2 or 3 bowls. Varies with bowl size though - if I'm smoking my mini-meer, it might be 4 or 5.

A BOTL at work, who also goes both ways, lamented that when he smokes a pipe, he "overdoes it" by smoking 2 or 3 bowls. I reminded him that a cigar has enough tobacco for several bowls of pipe tobacco. He feels better now :)

[gigmaster]

I try to smoke in moderation. I almost never smoke more than 7 or 8 bowls a day. Almost.....:)

I like your definition of moderation sir :p
