[QUOTE="brianr, post: 340780, member: 3277"] I've been watching some of the pipe smoking competitions and confess to being impressed by the times people "squeeze" from 3g of tobacco. I don't pretend to be an expert on the competition rules so, if I have this incorrect be gentle, but it seems the basic idea is to see how long you can make 3g of tobacco last. A recent UK competition was won with a time of over an hour. I've just had a bowel which I weighed at 5g. I confess I had to "repack" it as I'd got it too 'tight' at first but on the second attempt it lasted about 50mins, with no dottle (all ash, which is my norm). If I'd packed more tightly, I doubt it would have smoked- that was why I had to repack. I don't think I 'puff' hard or quickly, the pipe generally is comfortable to hold. I only smoked 5g as I filled the pipe, a Peterson Sherlock Holmes. Any tips how these experienced smokers are achieving these times, please? Brian [/QUOTE]
