[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 262830, member: 1387"] That is a possibility. With some experience, you will learn at what point your tobacco has turned to dottle. If you continue to try to light the dottle, it will be difficult, but it can be done. In the meantime, you will probably scorch your tongue a bit, but until you have been smoking a pipe for awhile, you will not be able to determine exactly when your tobacco is spent to your liking. Some guys claim that they can smoke a bowl until there is nothing left but a fine white ash, but I have yet to develop those skills. lol By leaving some dottle in your pipe unsmoked, you will minimize tongue bite, or steam bite, as well as preserve the bottom of your bowl. Some woods like ash or cherrywood are very easy to burnout, much easier than briar. [/QUOTE]
