[QUOTE="HCraven, post: 265792, member: 2843"] Nothing wrong with trying to salvage a little extra smoke, though when I get wet dottle at the bottom (which doesn't happen too often, mostly if I'm puffing too vigorously), I often find that it gets a little bitter tasting anyway and give up. Incidentally, there's always the Sherlock Holmes method of dealing with dottle: "Sherlock Holmes was, as I expected, lounging about his sitting-room in his dressing-gown, reading the agony column of The Times and smoking his before-breakfast pipe, which was composed of all the plugs and dottles left from his smokes of the day before, all carefully dried and collected on the corner of the mantlepiece." from [i]The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb[/i] [/QUOTE]
