[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 496937, member: 1690"] Here's a poser for ya': I've never been able to smoke anything before lunch, even in my heaviest smoking days of yore. Gives me headaches and assorted ailments. Weird. After lunch and all the way to 2 a.m., anything goes. I mention this because I understand that the first pipe right after breakfast is ecstasy for many pipe smokers here and elsewhere. As far as number of bowls, I vary widely, but nowadays it's a matter of constraints imposed by both time and current social restrictions. One thing I have noticed, when given free rein, is that I can smoke a lot more bowls if I pack the pipes properly. I tend to pack too tightly, apparently thinking this will make the smoke last longer by "getting more in," one might say. Every time I slow down and pack the pipe properly, I amaze myself by how little effort it takes to keep the thing going, and how easy it is on your tongue and palate. Been amazing myself like this for 50 years or so, like some kind of moron! My point is that sucking on an even slightly overpacked pipe will take its toll on your tongue after three or four bowls. Just thought I'd mention it in case it's applicable, Rande, and you aspire to legendary status. [/QUOTE]
