[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 44454, member: 36"] I don't think that with a bowl entirely reduced to ash it matters when you dump it out. More commonly there is dottle, in which case I remove it entirely and quickly. The wood has absorbed all the moisture that burning the tobacco in the bowl produces, and adding to it by leaving the dottle in for whatever length only increases the amount of time that the pipe will need to rest. This undoubtedly is a small amount, I think, but I wouldn't add to to that time. [/QUOTE]
