Thanks! It’s been kid of difficult for me to start with, because after COVID my smell and taste never done back the same. So, I know I’m not tasting what I should. But I’m trying to find things that I think taste good!Welcome from the Pacific NW!
I smoke my bowl based on flavor and performance. It will burn on until either it develops an ashy flavor or it naturally goes out and will not easily relight. At this point sometimes there's still a small bit of mostly uncharred baccy in the very bottom, but most of the time it's just ash.
BTW: You're off to a nice start with some solid brands of pipes. Enjoy the journey...and, by all means, share it!
Good advice. I do planning meeting up with a buddy of mine I haven’t seen in a long time who smokes pipes often.You really need to concentrate on learning how to smoke a pipe. Either get a mentor or go to a few good places on the internet to learn,
Right now I’m really enjoying Peterson Night Cap and Peterson Sherlock Holmes. Also G.L. Pease Quiet Nights.
