Never Satisfied

[dctune]

I load.
I light.
I smoke.
I’m happy.
Tamps.
Maybe ash.
Couple relights.
No problem.

Then the end of the bowl comes & the dance begins. Well, it’s actually more of distrustful wrestling match.

It’s not that I want to smoke the dottle & take every bowl down to the dregs. It’s just that I always want more.

More satisfaction.
More smoothness.
More happiness.
More smoke.

The pipe is like, “All right. I’m clocking out. Going on break.”

And I’m like, “We’ll see about that, Buster. Because I just KNOW you’ve got some more goodness down there you’re not telling me about.”

I relight, often pleasantly. Then the bowl is really finished. But I still try the dance a couple more times before I finally set the pipe down, both happy and sad.

I just never want a bowl to end.

You are looking for more than me, brother man.

Yeah. I’m just kinda like that with too many things.

Like, I reeeeeally love Brussels Sprouts. And every time my wife makes them, I’ll just eat til they’re gone. I just can’t make myself stop. They’re soooo good. And EVERYBODY pays for it the next day. Lol. Roughage!

You’re trying to much, like me, damp that nasty thing and smoke one more. I do that

There is a quote from a movie that I remember, but not which movie it came from. But, the quote is, "I always expect so much more from sunsets."

I just enjoy smoking. I never expect something to sated in my smoking, just keeping a smoldering pipe in clench. There is no end to achieve, just smoke till it's all ash, and then light another. No end game. It's not that a I am not getting enough of something, just a desire to always keep it going.

It sounds like you would favor larger chamber pipes. This doesn't mean especially large pipes overall, or necessarily extra heavy pipes, but whatever pipes you choose, look for the versions that have bigger chambers up front, KS, XL, Hercules, Group 6, where you can sink your thumb in the chamber up past the thumb joint. And look at the specifications, not just the designations. If you don't have the time for that big a bowl, just smoke it down intermittently. That works fine for most people.

I love them as well, my good friend. I just steamed a few last Sunday.

Indeed, my friend. And I do this when time permits. But like this morning, the end of that bowl also represented another disappointing reality: I gotta log in and get my butt to work.

Now I’m craving Brussels Sprouts. I’m not even hungry at the moment.
Idk what’s wrong with me.

This is my favorite recipe for sprouts. Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Balsamic - https://therealfooddietitians.com/roasted-brussels-sprouts-with-bacon-and-balsamic/
We had this in a little bistro in Marshal, NC, and now it is a monthly thing to make. Love them.

Bruh. Done. We’re making this.

When I get down to the dottle and ash, and it will don’t stay lit, then I just dump and refill. I know some love to smoke the last speck of tobacco so as not to waste. I don’t care if I waste a little tobacco for a more flavorful and less tasking smoke.

Smoking until she refuses to relight stems from two of my worst traits: compulsiveness and laziness.

Buy bigger pipes.

modify that slightly and for me it would apply to the horizontal mambo

I’m careful not to ask too much from life…always satisfied. ??️

Brussel Sprouts!? How the hell did we end up talking about one the worst tasting veggies on the planet. It has a name that just may as well be "projectile vomiting".

They smell horrible too! Which is all part of the charm.

Yes!

one of the things i love about pipes is how genuinely it is satisfying like eating a good meal and not feeling an urge to have more. you could and it would still be enjoyable but if there is no more to have you still feel great.
