Short time smoker. I've noticed that if I tap out the ash half way through a bowl the second half smokes better. Is that usual to do?
Never tried it. Thought itd help keep things cool keeping the ash. Maybe I'll try.

I almost always have to do at least one ash dump either half way or 3/4 of the way through. Seems to always help staying lit and I sometimes see the draw improve as well.

I prefer to pack the tobacco tight, but keep the air flow open. I prefer the flavor that way. Usually empty the ash around 2/3 bowl along with running pipe cleaner through.

Tried it, to see if it helped anything. Didn’t, and was fiddly to do. So I don’t anymore. Unless I’m working on something and forgetfully tip the pipe over.
