1. Up to you
2. 1-6 not really a set number, what I have time to enjoy and only that, never rush
3. Nothing set, I do smoke back to back rarely
To not over do it, you would have to over do it to know your threshold, I’ve been fortunate to not had ill effects from smoking. The advice I see a lot and give is just sloooooooow down, if you think you’re going slow enough you’re not. I smoke what I have time for, it’s made to enjoy, learn that and everything else seems to fall in place.

Please don't. I don't think our poor forum could handle it.

As you have probably noticed there is no right answer here. The forum has everyone from hobbyist to hard core. The great thing is, we all respect each others choices as to "how much is enough."

I'm not far removed from being a newbie. As a hobbyist, I only smoke a bowl or two a week. I began late in life, but in the 2-3 years I have been at this, I have tried well over 100 blends and have only scratched the surface. Exploration and discovery are part of the joy of the journey. I would advise against nicotine addiction, but if you really enjoy it, there are far worse things to be addicted to (like gambling or God-awful Hallmark Movies).

Be wise, have fun and enjoy the journey.

Since I am new on smoking a pipe, and I want to try different tobaccos , sometimes I found myself kind overdoing it , and , feeling sick , stomach , headaches , tong bite , and such .
So the question is
1 how many bows should you smoke on a single day ?
2 how many do you smoke in a day ?
3 how many hours should be in between sessions? or how many session in a hour if that is your case 😀

any tips on how not over do it , and how to extend the enjoyment and avoid the side effects ?

Its the same as eating food.
When and what is right for you.

Me i probably average at least 10 bowls a day. My days tend to be 16 to 18 hour days.

I am not driven to smoke nor do i feel as if i have to go smoke at any given time other then after a big meal. Lol.

Find your nitch and enjoy

I am happy to discover this thread, as I was just thinking recently about how much do others smoke a day. I find many others smoke a significant amount, such as 6 to 10 bowls daily. I began the journey in 1972 and mostly smoked Walgreens over the counter bagged blends like Borkum Riff and Black Cherry etc. In those days a bag was a couple of bucks and I probably consumed about 1-1/2 to 2-bags a week or so. Now I am fully retired and probably average about 6-bowls a day. I really do so much enjoy all the various tins of different blends which are readily available to me at this time in my life. It's funny how I live in an over 55 retirement golf cart complex/community and nobody complains about my smoke and its actually just the opposite and mostly everyone here remembers the clouds of cigar and pipe smoke from their youth. They actually tell me often how it reminds them of someone dear in their past, such as a father uncle etc. Although I only smoke about 4-cigars a week these days; most of the residents here don't compliment me on them as much as my pipes, unless I'm burning an English blend in the pipe and then most here will say stinks! My children are grown in their early 40's now with children of their own and none of them would recognize me without a pipe in hand I guess. Life is grand!

Welcome!

I'm more of a lurker than poster but smoking on and off, more on than off, for the last 3 decades.

1) only as many as you want and can tolerate with no ill effects.

2) I usually smoke 2-3 bowls a day, sometimes more and occasionally none. Just depends on the day and how busy things get.

3) I tend to get 45 to 75 mins to a bowl depending on bowl size and particular tobacco. If I'm outdoors or driving I'm usually smoking but on office days it's before work, lunch, and again in the evening. I don't smoke indoors. Let your body and taste buds guide you but don't try to keep up with the Jones. That way lies ruin.

Find a few tobaccos you like and concentrate on learning how they smoke and then expand. It's a lot easier to learn how to smoke a pipe with just a few tobaccos, you get to know what each should smoke like and your technique will improve faster.
