Is there anything to DGT...

[hawk60ce]

Other than letting the bowl go out and re-lighting. Most of the time I loa up a bowl to smoke some in the morning and the rest after lunch but it never seems to taste good after lunch. Usually just taste like ash and stale tobacco. Aro's, VA's, VA/pers...

Hey Hawk,

I wouldn't call setting down a half smoked bowl DGT; but rather, something more along the lines of loading a bowl and setting it aside in anticipation of a truly gratifying smoke later on.
I will often pack a bowl of a tobacco that will improve with exposure to air e.g. Samuel Gawith Grousemoor. I like to pack one just prior to hitting the rack intended for its ritual incineration with a strong cup of Josephus Daniels the following morning. Sometimes I'll pack a bowl before having dinner with every intention of smoking it postprandial.
Simply the knowledge that a carefully packed bowl of fine tobacco awaits (without the effort to pack it) to be enjoyed after an activity, is the true actualization of anticipation. And, when it's time to fire that puppy up, the gratification delayed is gratification enhanced.

These can be very satisfying smokes.

Im with Lawrence with this. I always pack my morning pipe the night before. If it is a rainy Sunday and I know I am going to just veg out all day I will pack 2-3 with whatever tickles my fancy that day. Smoke them back to back or with a few hours in between whenever the mood strikes me. If it goes out and for whatever reason sits for over an hour (rough estimate) I just dump it out. Never tastes the same to me.

Some blends DGT better than others. I have heard that aromatics, in particular, do not DGT well.

I admit I am still a noob - but what the hell are you guys talkin' about?

Sorry Numbersix... DGT = Delayed Gratification Technique

Thank you Lawrence. Now I'm on board... ::

I do not like a bowl that has gone out and try smoking it the next day, to me it always tastes lousy. I will leave tobacco out to dry and then load it but I do not load bowls and then smoke them the next day. I am into instant gratification, not delayed. lol

I agree, same with cigars
