Hi I'm New and Have a Question

[gamzultovah]

Welcome aboard from Florida. Good question. The answer is yes, you can continue to smoke after the pipe has gone out. Like many here have said, some of my best smokes were from pipes I found laying around days after I had set them down. This hobby is very forgiving and relaxing if you allow it to be...much like this forum.

A lot of people actually do it on purpose

Perfectly fine to do. All those rumors about hair loss and impotency are completely without merit.

Don't know about impotency, I have six kids, but the hair loss I can vouch for...lol.

 

[FurCoat]

Yup, DGT...delayed gratification technique. Widely practiced by many including myself.

And, there's another term that is relevant here. dottle. This is what you find in a pipe that isn't completely smoked.
I've experimented with saving the stuff, but that went away with a quickness. The DGT is very commonly employed. I've spent hours finishing up unsmoked dottle in several pipes.

I’ve gone a week or more before relighting a half smoked pipe. I just stirred the ashes a little and dumped them out, lit up and enjoyed! It’s not like a cigar where things get nasty if you let them go out.

Why they do that?

Just relit an unfinished bowl of Granger from yesterday to have with my black coffee : -)

@Grangerous there’s your Uncle!

Uncle Todd,
You Sir, are a man of refined tastes. Granger and a cup of Strong Black Coffee are the Truth. Welcome.

I think that's the kids. Probably lost a few strands per birth is my guess.

I find no problem with a few minutes. I think I maybe the only one that finds next day not so great.

A key to enjoying yesterday's pipe today, or tomorrow, or.... is to start with good quality tobacco that's sufficiently dry. Otherwise, you get soggy tobacco in the heel, and when you hit that, forget about it.

I am very particular and any thing longer than 4 minutes and 38 seconds completely ruins the smoke, don't believe me just try it.
