[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 106282, member: 509"] No offense, but smooth, cool smoking, and stopping if the pipe gets warm is just "regular pipe smoking". And the thin, hard, almost glasslike cake you are talking about is good cake. Nothing more, and nothing less. Other built up, leftover junk is just that - built up leftover junk, rather than proper cake. I really hate to come on like a prick here, and I really try to follow the "if it works for you it's right" sort of scenario in pipe smoking in general, but if you guys are burning briars regularly, you are smoking too hot. Not only does this harm pipes, but it totally changes the way any blend will taste. You can control the burn temperature by probably a couple hundred degrees, and the resulting flavors at either end of the spectrum are completely different. I'm off my soapbox now. [/QUOTE]
