    BTW, the zippo fuel does smell nice, enhances smoking experience :) Ronsonol kind of stank.

    How Long does a Smoke Last?

    As understand it, the burning period of the pipe I have (20x30mm) is 10-13 min. If you take breaks and relight it afterwords you can say it lasted for 40 min or an hour. So it's a matter of choice if you smoke it all at once or prolong the process. I did go on youtube after I started this...

    Does Everyone Use Pipe Filters?

    Title edited for caps. And the answer is no. I'm using 9mm filters with my pipe and looking at them after just two smokes I feel like everyone should :)

    How Long does a Smoke Last?

    When you smoke a pipe for 40 min, how many times do you re-light it? Or is it a continuous glowing for 40 min?

    How Long does a Smoke Last?

    No that isn't for me. I judge tobacco by the throat hit, that's what e-sig smokers were looking for, back in days. My leaves have a tremendous hit, a bit too much :) Don't see a point in "puffing".

    How Long does a Smoke Last?

    I suspect my tobacco is too dry. I've put it in the box to humidify it a bit. Trial and error, isn't it? I tend to inhale, otherwise what's the point of smoking? Nice notion on the cut, I'll think about it. Thanks bro.

    How Long does a Smoke Last?

    Mine is 2cm wide 3cm deep (0.75 by 1.18 inches). Yes, probably I smoke it fast, but if I leave it unattended for a minute I have to light it again, which I hate.

    How Long does a Smoke Last?

    Mine does 10-13 minutes. Are there bigger pipes that you can smoke for a half an hour or more? There must be some metrics to figure this out. Sorry if this is a stupid question :) Cheers.

    Is a Zippo Suitable for Pipes?

    Thanks, maybe one day when I get bored :) For now a regular zippo is good enough, I'm getting a grip of it. And the secret is to tilt you head and don't let the flame touch the bowl, just the tobacco in the middle of it. That's my newbie experience :) And well, I'm more into minimalism.
