Is this burnout???

Well, I hate to tell you, but this is a sure sign that you're in love with your Castello. Like thinking your new girlfriend might die because she sneezed. Yup, you've got it bad. That's called the beginning of a carbon layer in there. It's not only okay but required. Try to relax and maybe make a homemade Valentine for your pipe. (Why do I always want to spell it Costello, like Abbot and .... That was one of my first goofy errors on Forums, the first of many.)

tobacco on fire and slowly burning it down to the bottom of the bowl. The wood on the inside of the chambers is still as light colored and smooth

Anthony, YOU are a DEBBIL, you old TX storyteller, you.... }
klp, pay no attention to Anthony. He likes to smoke cleaning fluid. Jay, where's 'at 'air yoonykorn at?!?
BTW, welcome; don't think I said howdy yet; welcome & glad to have you. Don't pay *too* much attention to some of the fruitcakier lunatics here; most of us are mostly harmless & even get let out on weekends.
*Most* of us. The Black Frigate crew are the primary exceptions.

I won't say pipe burnout doesn't happen (it surely has), the following old thread may put you a little at ease:

pipestud, ok you are off the hook.

" The interior chamber walls of that pipe darken when tobacco is burned in it! "

Is that the way of all pipes?
