That is called dottle and it goes in the ashtray. ?
. Any thoughts?
I did for about a week into this new adventure. I started asking myself why does it get nasty and bitter near the bottom of the bowl. After dumping what very little was left I noticed the moisture in the tobacco, so I picked it up and smelled it (yes I really did) it was disgusting. So I decided to not smoke the last part with much better results.Not Joking with this question--do some folks smoke down to the bottom of the bowl? I ask 'cause I think I may have read one or more tobacco reviews (don't recall what or where?) and it/they said something about the flavor coming out more or changing as they smoked to the bottom of the bowl. I don't usually smoke down the to bottom--exception being when I slowly smoke a small clay bowl of some kinds of Esoterica (and I figure it's so darn expensive I gotta try and get every last bit out of it
just wondering-

I smoke most bowls to the end. It's lovely; no wet nor bitter dregs if it stays dry enough, which is a function of how dry the tobacco and pipe are, as well as speed of smoking, compactness of packing.Like the others say, dump it. Don't smoke it unless you like a wet bitter nasty smoke. I learned the hard way.
Yeah, wet dottle is nasty. Dry more and you can continue in bliss.
I thought that was if the match didn’t go out before it burned your fingers?
I went to Catholic school. I remember my 5th grade Nun, Sister Mary Tarzan. (Lights pipe). This Nun had a stained-glass eye. That’s like a tattoo in nundom. Anyway, I sat in the row by the windows and we had to sit ramrod straight, eyes forward. (Puff puff). If the conditions were juuuust right, on the sunniest of days, that glassed eye of hers would cast a prism! (Puff Puff) As long as the light kept moving, you were fine. But if the prism stopped on your desk, you knew Sister Tarzan was up on ya. But I digress. What was this post about?
