[QUOTE="huffelpuff, post: 382363, member: 2140"] Good questions Thomas! Honestly the whole reason I did this was for the new guys. I ignored hot and wet as that is standard operating procedure for new guys. Hot and wet improves with better technique which they aren't going to get anytime soon only smoking 2-3 bowls a week. Yes resting helps with hot and wet too but I see technique as what's going to keep the new guys around. As far as what I was looking for....... I was looking for off flavors, bitter, acrid, sour, anything that shouldn't be there. Bad smells or even just something funky. The whole idea was to see how far I could push 1 briar. I personally don't like a dirty pipe but I've smoked long enough to know that sometimes you go with what you've got. I'm not trying to get anyone to clean less or more for that matter. I see it as personal preference. As for the post clean bowl after daily smoking for 2 months. No drastic changes in flavor or performance. Just a nice solid smoke. [/QUOTE]
