Have any of you guys ever had a "dry spell" where you didn't smoke for a while? I'll admit it's been over a month since I've picked up one of my pipes. Not sure why but just haven't felt the desire to puff lately. I really hope this is just a temporary thing!

A question for the long time pipers.

I went a few years without a pipe once.

Yep. I went a couple years without one right before I joined our former site.
When I got back into it, well, you may have seen me around...
Even now, I'll find that I've gone a week or two due to schedule, weather, etc.

I too hit a lot of dry spells. It drives me nuts actually. When I do pick up a pipe (or cigar for that matter), I really enjoy it and think why did I do that in the first place (stop). But then, I fall off the wagon again...and again.
WHY!!!???

I went from Nov 2010 to June 2014 without a cigar or pipe due to life priorities.I first found a great deal on a humi and sticks and about 6 months ago my wife asked me why I didn't smoke my pipes. I didn't have a good reason other than just being without pipe tobacco.So I tripped on down "Electric" avenue and got me some. I much prefer my pipes,more flavor and no stubs or butts to clean up.

Yes, I often go a month or two without smoking, then I'll smoke for a week straight. It's very hit or miss for me.

Nice to see it's not uncommon. I thought maybe something was wrong with me.

The important thing is to enjoy the smoke,not need it.So you sit out for a bit,that just makes the next smoke that much more relaxing and flavorfull .

Well I'm sure there's something wrong with you, this just isn't an accurate indicator...

I have had spells of not smoking a pipe, both short and long, since I first started. For instance, the last dry spell was from 2010 to 2014. I got into cigars there for a couple of years, then lost interest in both of them for a couple of years. The thing that got me back into it this time was a Groupon that came out for BnB Tobacco Co. (online) last summer (2014). I was well stocked on cigars but the Dunhill tins looked really good. So I bought one of the Groupons and got a bunch of tins with it (it turned out to be a great deal). That's when I got back into pipe smoking and refurbishing old pipes (still like my cigars).
