For me, bowls to joints is about 10:1.

Joints are great and everything, but I really only roll them when I'm broke and can only afford shake. Other than that, I think I prefer my pipe or a nice bong to a joint anyday, because there's something nice and kinda personal about having your own piece that you regularly smoke out of. It's kinda like a little buddy, it'll accompany you wherever you go and be there for you when things aren't going quite right and you need something to relax with.

When you smoke a joint down, their gone and you just chuck 'em. With a pipe, it seems more personal and more intimate:4:.
