[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 38264"] Some pipes just seem to have soggy heels :evil: Others can wind up withthem from accidents or carelessness in packing/tamping. Let it sit for anywhere from half an hour to the next day and it will dry out enough to finish. The flavor and strength won't be objectionable. The point of finishing it is to hasten drying out the heel area. (Damp hydrocarbons plus environmental yeast/mildew = eventual yuckitude). Letting damp gunk accumulate in there without drying will sour your pipe. (If you're resting it for a week or ten days in between smokings, this is probably academic). Ash removal : normal. :face: [/QUOTE]
