It's official - I'm an expert pipe smoker.

[forest7]

I am a slow smoker. That's the key most enjoy for pipe smoking to me. Am I an expert pipe smoker?

You young whippersnappers and your fancy ways...

I am merely an expert in my own opinions, of which I find no limits. ::

Cosmic, +1, you're not alone :mrgreen:

 

[sablebrush52]

At least somebody around here is an expert in something.

 

[demetrakopoulos]

That's great to hear. Because every time I smoke, I realize how terrible I am at it.

I was able to get tnrough a bowl with no relights this morning - that is rare. I still couldn't finish the last bit in the bowl due to moisture. Maybe I smoke too fast? Maybe the tobacco is too wet? Maybe smoking outside in cold damp air?
I guess for now, the best bowl, will continue to be the next one.

For what it's worth, your use of "expert" resonated in me as entirely tounge and cheek...and you can see how new I am here.
:idea: But I'll be sure not to ever use that term...

All of the above contribute to dampness in the bowl. Pre-drying is the first step, slowing down the second, and moving to a warmer climate the third step!
