After about 10 months of part time pipe smoking I think you start to notice more of the details. The process of packing, lighting and puffing becomes pretty simple. In the last few weeks I have noticed a few bowls where they started off with a good draw and then in the last 1/3 of the bowl the draw really tightened up. I have used the spike of the Czech tool occasionally to probe down the side of the bowl to create more airways (heard about that on the radio show). However the last 2 times that happened I just decided to keep on going and after a few minutes of puffing the draw opens up again. I guess I am burning through a tight pack or tobacco that has expanded during the smoke.
Have others had this experience?
