Ashes

[helm]

I went an entire day, smoked 4 bowls, and each and everyone burned down to ash. No dottle. I think I might finally be getting the hang of this pipe smoking thing, and I am loving it.

Congrats, whenever i finish a pipe I'm always sad because my smoke is over and if I want another I need to pack another bowl. When you are having a good smoke you just want it to last forever.

From what I understand Dottle is the white ash left after a smoke, shouldn't there be Dottle if you smoke a bowl completely?

Helm, Which tobacco did you smoke? ::

 

[hawk60ce]

Dottle is unsmoked tobacco left in the bottom of the pipe.

As hawk60ce said, dottle is the unsmoked tobacco left in the bowl. Some dictionaries have an incorrect definition of it.
Helm, what were you smoking?
I find that most ribbon cut English blends burn all the way down to an ash easily.

Congrats Helm, I long for the days when I can get to the bottom of the bowl with no effort.

Congrats helm, sounds like you have figured this thing out. Just be careful, now that you get to the bottom, there is the always fun, sucking in a mouthful of hot ash trying too get the last little bits of flavor. Wait till you do that one.

Was smoking erinmore mixture. I seem to really enjoy that tobacco, and still waiting for my small TAD order to arrive.
No hot ashes yet, but I may have been close to sucking them back since it was a very enjoyable day of smoking.
It sure does seem that no matter how long the bowl lasts, when its done it seems to be over too soon.
