Maybe I overfilled the clay pipe and tamped the baccy down too much so it wasn't getting the oxygen it needed to burn...

Quite possibly. Also that black rope is oilier than elvis’ hairdo.
@Ahi Ka I really would like to keep my clay pipe burning as long as this guy:
If you think of putting fire to telephone book. That’s almost impossible. If you rip of the pages and wrinkle them it’s easier. Also in tobacco fibres, there has to be certain space between the fibres for oxygen flow in between. And glowing ember has to keep in touch to the next layer.
once you master black rope you’ll be able to smoke anything else in your sleep.
What kind of tobacco are they smoking here? In briar slow contests it’s usually a flake, three grams of flake. The rub it out.
Also, Dan if you prefer to smoke brown twist I can spot you some. I actually enjoy mixing the brown and black twists together
@UB 40 I once made a clay pipe of Condor Ready Rubbed last 45 minutes but I thought 25-30 minutes was good going. When I first started smoking a clay pipe I thought 5-10 minutes was usual as I was worried about the pipe going out...
Many thanks, I was a bit disappointed that my pipe went out, especially after drying the tobacco out. Smoked all my twist now and out of baccy until I can get some more...
I would be interested in some of the Gawith twist.
@UB 40 Many thanks! I'd like to keep practicing but can't keep smoking dragonweed until it kills me!
Hold up. You smoked through 25g of black twist in a couple of days. You sir, are definitely the clay king
@Ahi Ka I like how you put my picture holding a sword. Man that black twist went down well!!!
@Ahi Ka I'd still like to see how long I can make a clay pipe of baccy last without relighting. Do you think I should go with some brown twist or find something easier to smoke???
Now I know how much baccy my clays hold it will be easier to know how much I'm smoking!
@Ahi Ka I bet Gandalf could teach me how to smoke a clay
Which Lord of the Rings character would you most like a pint and a clay with?
For me it would be Gandalf or Gimli, maybe Aragorn.
Orc #3.
I definitely think having a go with the brown twist. It’s great tobacco. In fact, I think you should make the most of having access to what comes out of Kendall and slowly work your way through the entire range, from shags to plugs. Even buying them in 10g samples from GQ

@Ahi Ka Should I still keep going for the longest smoking times?
Smokingpipes from the USA are cheap but they don't often have the Gawith range and they tend to use Evri in the UK which are a bit of a pain as I'm not often at home and they don't offer collection like Royal Mail, DPD etc.
Yes you should definitely keep going for a longer smoke time.
Bro, tobacco prices in UK are cheap. Especially if you are only smoking clay sized bowls and infrequently

You must be real fun at parties…
