How do you know when your bowl is finished?

We need an equivalent term for driving while smoking. My smoking is about 55% lunting, and 30% happing (see what I did there? patent pending :nana: )

Taste is everything. When I lose that, it's time to dump.

Sums it up for me...

When it’s no longer pleasurable, I’m done. Life’s too short and pipe tobacco too affordable here in the USA to do otherwise.
Don’t fall victim to the oft-mentioned idea that you need to smoke to the bottom of the bowl for the benefit of the pipe. Hogwash, IMHO.

Can't give a definitive answer. Bedtime is one indicator. Taste another. You just know when it' time to swap a pipe out for another or ... go to bed. If the last pipe isn't finished, it'll be there to accompany that first cup in the morning. Or, maybe after the first cigarette.
