[QUOTE="briar friar, post: 596820, member: 6220"] "Not trying to smoke the bowl down to the bottom in one sitting" After many years, I still wrestle with this one. I find that if I allow a bowl to grow cold, and then relight, the taste is bad. So, I always smoke to the bottom of the bowl, especially on newer pipes, because otherwise the bowl will not be fully broken-in (charred), and I consider this important. Also, gooey aromatics are impossible to smoke 'all the way'. These aromatics, I smoke in cobs or meerschaum. Nevertheless, my rule is "the pipe serves me, I do not serve the pipe". So, if it is prudent to smoke less than 'all the way', then so be it. Regarding, "Assigning my pipes to certain tobaccos, or types of tobacco." -- I used to do this, but now I don't care 😎 [/QUOTE]
