[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 106308, member: 509"] Okay... a few things. First, what the hell is a Bobojaan??? :D "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." I suspect that this is indeed exactly the case. Link this to LL's budding theory that the very best smokers all share this hard, thin, glassy cake, and a guy starts to think that some pipes lean toward this type of burn inherently, or at the very least, smoked normally, will produce such a cake. I know if you burn real slow in a wood stove, far more creosote develops in the chimney than if you burn hot and fast. So I think it stands to reason that slow burn in a pipe would do the same, and put a nice even coating on the walls to boot. [/QUOTE]
