[QUOTE="Kapnismologist, post: 106302, member: 487"] Very good points indeed! I admit I do tend to be a hot smoker, but have rectified that over time (although not always - sometimes it is just too tough to do and I say screw it, I want to puff this baby, heat be damned!). The latter especially when I am intending to review a blend and need to put it through all conceivable paces of burn rate, temp, etc. to get a feel for its range. However, the larger question here is that of the idea that a very, very slow, controlled, low-temperature burn (way slower than what you rightly describe above as "regular pipe smoking") somehow allows for a greater amount of sticky tars/resins to collect on the chamber walls in a way they might normally otherwise do. The idea being that it is these byproducts of such combustion which are necessary for that smooth, glass-like cake which helps to ward off char later on. Or, if it is something else entirely? In any case, a very, very informative thread. I do not think your comment are 'soapbox' material one bit! [/QUOTE]
