[QUOTE="AJ, post: 463323, member: 2363"] Can someone please tell me why one I suppose to break a new pipe in by beginning with a quarter filled bowl followed by a half filled and then a three quarter filled bowl before finally smoking a fully filled bowl? Early in my smoking career I followed the procedure with the first two pipes I bought. Not understanding why I was supposed to do this I gave up the practice. From then to now whenever I get a new pipe I fill it up with either a straight Virginia or a Burley blend and smoke it as though it had been smoked many times. I have over a hundred pipes in my collection that I bought new and except for the first two all got this treatment. I've never had one to crack, have a burn through, or have any other damage that I can detect. Maybe for a new Meer it would make since to start slowly and I'm not so sure about that. So somebody please tell me why starting with a partially filled bowl is the way to go. :) AJ [/QUOTE]
