I puff fairly quickly - once every couple of seconds - but I only take the tiniest of sips each time, so my pipe never gets hot and the tobacco never gets bitter. I take a couple of large pulls on the pipe after a tamp or a relight, and then I resume sipping. What about you?
For me, it depends on what tobacco I’m smoking at the time. Some blends need a slow paced cadence. Others I can smoke like a freight train without any tongue bite and billows of 💨 smoke 💨

I do just as Legend Lover said. Take big puffs, then rest, then repeat. Except sometimes I'll puff back to back for about 30 seconds straight. I usually do this to keep the pipe going, or when I'm really trying to get the nuances of the flavour. When I do this I don't take huge puffs, small to medium sized puffs. Just enough to continually experience the falvour.
Nothing is real; therefore, everything is permissible.

I started with cigs so I smoke kind of furiously. But my pipes thesedays always last at least 25 minutes so I mean I am not extremely fast, just a bit fast.
I tend to take 4-5 rapid draws and then let the pipe rest in my hand for 20-30 seconds and then go at it again. And the pipe still lasts at least 25 mins-hour if I'm really relaxed. I don't even think about it when I am doing it, unless I am on acid or something, lol.
Funny you just made me think about something I never think about ever.

I puff at a pace just below that which will make the bowl too hot. This pace seems to depend on the pipe and on the type of tobacco, but what I gauge is the temperature of the bowl in hand.
Tobacco will get you through times of no money much better than money will get you through times of no tobacco.

Depends on what I'm smoking and what I'm doing, but I think I wind up kinda average, small bowls take me 30 to 50 minutes usually, large bowls sometimes well over an hour.

Depends , I usually don't clench so a few puffs and then stop and start again..

Low and slow baby, low and slow... It's become quite the meditation for me. Breath method, (thanks mutton chop!) pulling and blowing back into the pipe in small sips then a good puff every so often while fully breathing through the nose. If the flavor is right, I will blow out a little through my nose on the end of an exhale to get that little extra depth of flavor. No heat, no bite, just right. Thanking you!

Lately I have been doing the same thing. Quick but small sips.
For me, it depends on what tobacco I’m smoking at the time. Some blends need a slow paced cadence. Others I can smoke like a freight train without any tongue bite and billows of 💨 smoke 💨

The above describes my smoking cadence and style to the very life.
It depends on what I'm smoking; I sip on straight Virginia or other blends that have a tendency to bite, but with other tobaccos I take several moderate puffs and take a break, then repeat.

This^^^^^for me.
This nails for me.

Realizing one’s own ignorance is the beginning of wisdom.
As I mentioned above, I kinda slide between sipping and billowing, but I find that while I can smoke all my ribbon or coarse cut lat blends whichever way I please at the moment, HH ODF ready rubbed essentially requires heavy pulls and billows of smoke to stay lit at all. Fortunately, it tastes fine that way and no bite.
