Hi, guys. My name is Dave, and I'm a Pipe-a-holic. (Hi, Dave!) I live in the Finger Lakes region of New York, which is the most beautiful region on earth. Period. That is without discussion - don't even try to argue with me about it. The down side is that if I buy tobacco at the store here, I pay a hefty 75% tax on it. Sigh.
Here's my question. I love big bowl billiards, but can't smoke a whole bowl at a time. I don't like just filling a quarter way or half way, since that doesn't give the even caking we all look for. What do you guys think of the technique of filling the bowl, smoking a bit, letting it go out, dumping the ashes, pipe cleaner the stem, and then let it sit for later. One bowl of a large billiard would last me all day - sometimes two days. Any down sides to this?
