from my experience i have to say that hot boxing with either a pipe or a bowl is the greatest. however inexperienced smokers tend to torch bowls and bongs too (basically they torch everything for that matter).

if im just chillin with some close friends then i prefer a blunt but if its just me and a couple other people much rather have a bowl/pipe. if i am by myself (yes i do smoke by myself a lot, its a great way to clear shit up in your head) i prefer my cigarette oney

it really all depends on my mood and who im with
