    i feel like i load this forum up with questions that should not be asked but someone once told me that if you ever want to be successful in life, ask the question you have.

    relighting

    Like many pipe smokers, I have to relight during my smoke. It usually occurs when there is about half a bowl left. I always dump my ash out before I relight but I have noticed that I always get a really burnt taste after relighting. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal?

    suggestions on a small pipe
