Never, but never: Lean your head back while smoking a system pipe.

Hope you didn't burn yourself terribly but for sure you got some cinders and ash over the shirt.

 

[BingBong]

Never, but never
Lean your head back while smoking a system pipe.

Completely safe with a Falcon though, trust me.

No, don't.

Or any other pipe. The condensate is a bit vile, right?

 

[jpmcwjr]

If it was the sudden rush of liquid into your mouth, it can happen with any pipe.

He like-a-the juice! I’m an unconscious ash dumper so I often get juice in the stem with well pipes. I put a little bit of cotton in the well now to prevent such eventualities.

 

[Sgetz]

That's a terrible thing. My sympathy

 

[jpmcwjr]

Or any other pipe. The condensate is a bit vile, right?

Extremely! I did it once decades ago, and the result was so vile, I have not repeated the mistake. Smoking humid tobacco is more likely to create a horrible reservoir of liquid.

Could you please explain? Harder to do that with a cob?

"Laughs in ***" is a meme format. In other words, not going to have this problem with a cob.

When it gurgles just tip it up and hold the mouthpiece against your pants leg. This is the main reason I wear pants now.

 

[captainsousie]

I've done the nasty moisture slork. Never again. Can't imagine how bad it was with a system pipe.

What doesn’t kill you…

Extra dose of nicotine. It's good fer ya.

It happened to me really hard once when I was just learning. Back then, not only did I smoke too fast, I produced lots and lots of saliva when I smoked. Not realizing that there was a collection of goop at the bottom of my bent pipe. Ugg! And, it was an estate pipe that I had probably only haphazardly prepared for smoking. I thought, 'oh damn! I just swallowed someone else's spit!'

 

[AroEnglish]

If you have the condenser I'd imagine it would actually prevent, if not stop, the juice going into your mouth. But I don't want to do the empirical testing to prove my hypothesis.

 

[tobakenist]

Your obviously a wet smoker like me, I learnt that lesson in the late 60's, I also taught myself to smoke non system pipes, just make sure that the bottom of the bowl is higher than the tip of the stem, I love my Peterson Systems but also all of my Peterson non Systems, I also collect Freehands and enjoy smoking them, well enjoy smoking all of my collection of all different types of pipes.

It's not necessarily saliva, it could also just be the moisture from the tobacco condensing. It depends on whether you keep the pipe in your mouth constantly or not.

When I get tobacco juice in a pipe it ain't slobber.
