[QUOTE="huffelpuff, post: 515261, member: 2140"] The cold can play all kinds of havoc with pipe smoking. If you exhale any at all through the stem the moisture in your breath will condense in the bowl. On deeper bowled pipes even if you tamp regularly you really need to turn the pipe upside down and dump the loose ash from the top at about the halfway point. Reason....even tamped you end up with too much ash on top and the flame won't reach the tobacco. My guess though is that your tobacco is fairly moist to start with and when you combine that with the natural tendency to try and rush in the cold....you end up frustrated trying to relight. Have you considered going inside at that point and let the pipe sit for an hour or two and then going out to finish the bowl. Some tobaccos do very very well with DGT. Just some thoughts from another cold weather smoker for you. Jim [/QUOTE]
