Don’t You Hate It When…

[crawdad]

…the best flavor you get with a smoke is from the relight(s)?

 

[anotherbob]

nope never had that happen. What I hate is when the best flavor is the signal that the pipe is nearing the point of unsmokeable dottle. I get that. Kind of like making love. The best part is also the saddest part because it means it's almost over.

Nope.
For me the worst flavour is when you're lighting up and with relights.
Much higher temperature, so the tobacco tastes nuked.

It is after you really get your pipe going.

I only relight if interrupted by something going on at work and have to put the pipe down but the heat of a relight makes the smoke flavorless.

I only get that problem with bics. Anything else matches/zippo/soft flame doesn't seem to have that issue. But that's why I stopped using bics with pipes unless all other options are unavailable.

I've not experienced that either.

Sounds like you need to strengthen your pelvic floor bro

I tend not to worry about relights to be honest. If the pipe is hot, I put it down and get back at it in a few minutes and since i puff fast i'm always putting the pipe down and relighting haha.

No shame in a man doing kegels, I’m doing my regimen right now!

DGT has worked for me a few times.
I suspect it tastes good because the moisture from the dottle re-hydrates the rest of the bowl after a few hours.

No shame at all. Helps with your cadence too

 

[captpat]

For me the best flavor comes with the charring light.

So, that's what all this talk in the forum has been about with clenching. Next thing you know, someone will tell me "pipe" is code for something.

That’s about the best analogy ever.

And as Embers said, relights are far too hot, it takes a couple of puffs to settle down again and taste the blend.

Every source of flame can be softened through time and distance.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Don't hate it at all!

 

[ahouston]

Relights are perfectly fine for me, but the char lights, if I'm not careful, can really be a nasty. It's usually when I'm too eager to get lit for the lovely tobacco taste :D

even if you live 400 years you eventually die. You know what I am saying. And if you're die five seconds after birth or after centuries you're still going to be just as dead. Also no one lives in there so why would they install a floor? If you start seeing windows there, then that's a really bad sign that something has taken up residency there.

 

[anotherbob]

here is one thing I do hate. How does the weather know when you're trying a new blend you're super excited to try. Somehow it either gets so windy you are afraid the pipe is going to blow away if you don't hold on tight. Or you get the kind of rains that make you wonder who made God mad and when is the plague of locusts coming. That's one pipe thing I freaking hate.
