Can any of ya'll smoke 10 bowls a day without trouble?

[RichieR]

I guess this is sort of a mission that I'm on. When I get to the 4th-5th bowl, I start to feel the damage, and then wake up the next morning with my tongue feeling not so good.

I've begun to take all sorts of things into consideration in order to achieve this feat. I'm even employing medico filters on my cobs, and those fancy maple filters on my 2 Brighams. I also have some 7 Reserve coming in the mail, which boldly claims that it is one of those "all day smokes", so we will see how that goes.

If I can comfortably manage 10 bowls a day, then maybe I won't have to smoke so many cigarettes.

I'd like to hear any tips you guys might have for all day smoking without having to put up with Achy Morning Tongue.

Cheers.

I know someone who can cure you of cigarettes. Anne Pennman 1-800-nosmoke.

Pipe smoking is not that type of Nick fix thing IMO. My answer is that if you are enjoying all 10 bowls then why not but if you are smoking through tongue bite and all other sorts of things to get your fix then you are missing the point of the experience.

Not sure that this is about getting my nicotine fix, but rather, trying to figure out how to successfully become an "all day" pipe smoker. I know this breed is out there, and I'm pretty sure they would not bother smoking so much if they were constantly having to deal with a sore tongue and what not.

I do not consider myself a crazy puffer, all though, I'm sure that I can improve my smoking technique. 4 bowls or less a day of smoking whatever I feel like, gives me no trouble, really. I don't see why I cannot manage 10 bowls.

Prince Albert, which has a noticeable amount of nicotene is something I could puff on hard, bowl after bowl, and suffer no bite.

If you're just looking to become a regular 10 bowl a day pipe smoker, give it time. Graduallly puff yourself into it sort of.

I've been doing my experiment for the past 5 days or so, and I am having some success. The past few days I'm been managing 6-7 bowls/day with not so bad morning discomfort to the tongue and back of throat.

I've been smoking: Annie Kake, Hal o the Wynd, Captain Black Gold, and some rather harsh bulk cigar leaf mixing tobacco.

Most of the daily smoking is done with filtered pipes and 1 or 2 bowls/day using unfiltered pipes. The filters seem to be helping quite a bit, and I do not notice much of a difference in flavour. I've also been trying not to clench and smoke so much, and I think that is making a difference, too.

Tongue bite is usually caused by smoking too fast - there are other factors as well that are written about in this forum. Ten bowls a day, well often I smoke that much. However, if I am not careful about what I smoke and how I smoke it, I will get tongue bite. The suggestion about smoking Prince Albert is a good one. Stay away from aromatics. If you got a big cod sack try ten bowls of 1792—it never bites.

And slow it down! Its OK if a bowl lasts 90 minutes or two hours, sip and savor it. If you rush through a bowl a huffin' and a puffin' just to get to the next bowl, its gonna sting yer tongue. Try different filling techniques, find one (for each blend) that burns cool and slow. If all else fails, try an IV on yer arm

[dinoa2]

you are talking about pipe tobacco,right ?? just wanted to make sure

Interesting question; pipe smoking was my escape from nicotine addiction as far as I can tell so your question is like the opposite of my spin on the thing. I have smoked as many as five or six bowls in a day and began to feel like I was being poisoned - 10 should definitely put you in the nic-fix range. I go with SmokinJohnny and AcworthAl if you wanna be graceful about it. Load up on Prince Albert. Carter Hall, Butternut Burley and Esoterica Stonehaven should turn the trick, too.

If you still find yourself itchy, AcworthAl has if nailed - bulk 1792 and puff on. That failing, there is always the real heroin of pipe tobak for a man's man. Just lean harder into Samual Gawith's line when all else fails. BlackXX and Brown #4.

It usually takes me a good hour and a half to two hours to get through a bowl. 10 bowls a day I would have to figure out how to smoke while I sleep.

10 bowls in a day of the stuff Moo recommends and you wouldn't sleep anyway! It'd be like a cocaine IV.

My advice would be not to use the pipe as a "cure" for cigarette/nicotine addiction. A pipe is to be savored, as the saying goes, rather than as a crutch. But if you have to do this, just light up the pipe as you would a cigarette and smoke for 10 minutes. Then put the pipe out and repeat as necessary. In other words, smoke your pipe as you do cigarettes, minus the inhaling.

Today is my dayoff. I got up at 6:30CDT,it is now 12:08 pm CDT and I'm on my 5th bowl. During this time I've had breakfast(4 poached eggs,8 slices of bacon,4 pieces of toast,coffee,OJ) and vaccumed the swimming pool. No I didn't smoke while having breakfast,however I did while vaccuming the pool. I ve also washed 3 loads of laundry,fed the dogs(4 Schaunzers). Yeah I usually smoke 10+ bowls on my dayoff. On days I work its usually about 4 bowls.

I'd be willing to bet that no one, these days, could survive 10 bowls of Five Brothers a day, or Black XX/XXX or BT#4 ...........
