Pipe Rotation

[rsshreck32]

Three questions and thanks in advance for the responses:

How many pipes are in your regular rotation?

How many pipes do you own?

Regardless of how many pipes you have, how many do you think is enough?

 

[kcghost]

1. 7
2. ~60
3. The number somewhere north of "can't be measure from here".

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

1. Random
2. Don’t honestly know but more than 24.
3. More than 24!

 

[Christos D. Tsatsaronis]

I have 64, smoke them all in turn and in "phases": Cobs, briars and other woods, Falcons, with a few clay and meerschaum in between.
For me 7 would be enough but the PAD thing is stronger...

 

[PA Piper Mike]

1. 15-20
2. 50-60
3.

 

[El Capitán]

1: It varies on the reason I'm smoking
2: I have 6 pipes
3: There is never enough.

- 5 MM cobs

- 6

- 2 to 3 is definitely enough for me. ️

I have 9 pipes that I rotate through. I’ve gotten rid of any that I didn’t like. I don’t have PAD, so I’m happy with my 9-pipe rotation.

1. All of 'em.
2. All of 'em. Not a lease or loaner in the bunch.
3. I could live with one, I believe. I suppose the number of pipes required to feel secure is, "enough." But, like money, you probably can't have too many depending on how you are "wired."

 

[WerewolfOfLondon]

1: 4 (One Dunhill, one Altinay, one Peterson, one artisan [Spitaletti])
2: 27
3: 7 (I need three more 'keepers', hoping to get a Northern Briars, a Castello, and in the distant future, a Werner Mummert)

 

[Chasing Embers]

1 No rotation. I usually smoke one for weeks before randomly switching to another.

2 Hundreds

3 One

 

[Tate]

1 2 right now. My Meerschaum and the clay.
2 16
3 1 is enough but 2 is better lol

 

[Briar Lee]

1 All of them, but I forget some for years

2 It’s embarrassing. Hundreds.

3 One, my last Algerian eBay find.

But seriously, a dozen in rotation would last a lifetime and then some.

 

[Servant King]

1) Five.
2) Well, that depends what you mean by "own." I possess nine, but I own zero. Allow me to explain...ownership is a hoax, really. The American Indians knew the land couldn't be owned; the best they could do was to possess it. A fundamental (perhaps the fundamental) principle of law is that you can only own what you create. Possession is nine-tenths of the law, though. Speaking of possession, I'm guessing I don't possess anyone's attention anymore, at this point. It would seem I also possess a keen awareness of the freaking tumbleweeds blowing through and the sounds of chirping crickets. Good backdrop for pipe smoking, though!
3) Four. One for aromatics, one for latakia, one for everything else, and a utility cob.

 

[Lees65GTO]

1- 12 to 15 per cycle

2- 50+

3- What was the question?

 

[Sobrbiker]

-7 to 10 regulars, no real “rotation”
-35 or so
-one briar, one cob, and one meer

 

[Coreios]

I own around 30ish. I smoke whatever I want, when ever I want, and haven't had a problem. And to answer gow many is enough; it's enough when you don't see anything you want. Which is never for me.

 

[alaskanpiper]

1. 125

2. 125

3. 126

 

[dog_park_piper]

1. 5-6
2. 30 +
3. 3 small, 3 large, 3 bent

 

[Sigmund]

You never have too many pipes!

PAD is good!
