So I read on smokingpipes.com's briar maintenance instructions that after smoking, it's good to coat the boat with a layer of ash from the bottom of the bowl (by plugging the chamber opening and giving it a shake).
I'm not sure what it is with my pipes but it seems like the cake layer is always thicker towards the chamber opening, and gets thinner or unnoticeable about halfway in.
Anyone else noticed something like this happening with their pipes?
