.....how some of us here can smoke multiple bowls/day......day after day.
Jim, Ted, AJ, and others seem to go through a dozen bowls/day on a regular basis. This frankly is beyond my ken.
My average during the week is 2 bowls/day. One after coming home from work, and one after supper. Don't want/can't handle more than that. During my work week I have enough time to rise, throw a couple cups strong black coffee down my throat and push off for the day. And there is no chance of a bowl during the day.
On the weekend when I don't have to work this can rise to 3/day. But after that my palate gets beat up and I don't enjoy it like I should. I know now not to push it as I can get burned out the next day. And then nothing tastes of anything.
My late Pap smoked a pipe, and he was a one brand man - Uhles 255 and no other. But he didn't constantly have a pipe in his mouth either.
All to say, it amazes me that some of us can burn multiple bowls/day. I see Jim usually lists his beverage, and perhaps that keeps to keep his palate cool and neutral. And maybe he smokes smaller bowls than I do.
In any event there's no way I can go beyond say 3 bowls/day without suffering palate fatigue, even on my days off. Guess it's just in our biological makeup!
And hey, I'm not complaining here. :!:
Cheers,
RR
