I doubt the total number of bowls I smoke daily in retirement is substantially different than when I worked. While the variables affecting time between bowls has changed significantly, the amount of tobacco smoked appears relatively constant. Smoking habits had to be more regimented when I worked and my bowl pattern was geared towards smaller bowls, even on weekends. In retirement I've almost completely shifted to larger bowls and my few remaining smaller pipes seldom see action in the daily rotation anymore; furthermore, I can savor more now so bowls don't go down as quickly as before. There's not as much premium on finishing a bowl as I can freely smoke the first half, set down a pipe and finish later as I please. When working, building my cellar and preparing for retirement, I always assumed I'd smoke more in the latter phase; however, that hasn't necessarily proven to be true. I wonder will that be my experience too. Mind you, my frequency is more weekly than daily. |

My frequency varies as well, but I'm always cheered, seeing my pipes in their racks and knowing they're there anytime I want/need them. |

After reading a lot of these I am definitely a light weight in this place. I normally smoke 3 pipes a day. One at lunch, one on my drive home from work, one right before I go to bed when I am reading a book. For some reason I can't mentally get myself to smoke in the mornings.

I'd be too busy getting ready to get out of the house. |

I typically smoke two bowls per day at work, once on my dispatch and another on my return.
On the weekends, I sometimes don't smoke at all since my wife cannot be around smoke....that really doesn't bother me though.
When I retire and downsize, we will sell our home and I will have an eye towards having an office with a separate air handling unit.
