Fine White Ash

Nuthin' But Fine White Ash, A Memoir by Peck

As I mentioned recently on another thread, I have experienced the fine white ash thing several times but only when smoking a Falcon (or variant of) pipe. Perhaps it is the unique design of these pipes that encourages it, I really don't know but it does indeed happen.
Needless to say I was scorned at by some members for making that claim but I would wager they have never smoked that type of pipe.
Regards,
Jay.

I still blame that Faulkner biography that romanticized the "smoking down to a fine white ash" trope.
But, I accidentally had it yesterday, with a bowl of Irish Flake (sounds like a summary of Irish history at certain periods).
I was concentrating on something, drawing low 'n' slow, and after a while needed a relight. Looked in the bowl, nothing but very light grey, clumpless ash.
Weird.
