lol What Happened? 2/19/24

I was smoking some S. &. G 1792, when I ashed the bowl and with the ash the whole thing fell out in a coned piped shape still lit. I picked it up and dropped it back in the bowl continued my smoke. I didn't even dump it hard I just stirred the loose ash then lightly turned it upside down and wiggled the pipe. The draw was perfect, and was a great smoke the whole bowl I just never seen that before. Thought I would share. lol

A few minutes after I wrote this I was thinking and came back to edit it. I just finished a rustication on the pipe and I wonder if I got carnauba wax in the bowl and that's what happened.

So I mean, just to be clear, you turned the pipe upside down and stuff fell out?

Sometimes things just happen for no reason.

I'm not an ash dumper, I use the ash pancake to control the burn, so I really got nothing here.

Broken flake, fold and stuff, and cube cut blends are bad about that.

I agree with ya. I only dump if it gets a bit airy and it was.

I rubbed it out I cant keep fold and stuff lit. I wish I could though all those Gawith flakes take me forever.

I love when that happens ! Usually on my larger bowl pipes. To me its an indication you packed correctly. After awhile you will learn to tap lighter and the tobacco cone will move up just a bit in the bowl creating an air chamber beneath so it will smoke completely with no dottle and dump clean. Nice job ! Enjoy the moment !

Now that you mention it, for a while now I haven't had much if any dottle.

My first thought was I've never had that happen and I smoke a lot of broken flake. Second thought was that I don't dump ash out until I'm done with the smoke so I suppose it wouldn't.
