Old pipe tobacco.

[Coreios]

I just got my pipes out to have a smoke, when I realized I didnt finish the bowl. I was going to dump it out and clean the pipe but instead I smoked it. I'm surprised it tasted great. I think from now on, instead of trying to finish the bowl to not waste it, I'm just going to put it down and smoke it when ever I feel like. Anyways, just thought I'd share.

Sometimes I'll come back to one over a week old and it's fine.

Wow I wouldn't have thought that long. Good to know though.

The term is Delayed Gratification Technique. Normally, I finish my smoke, but on occasions when I can't, will finish it next day. Some find it not to their liking. Fine by me.

The term is Delayed Gratification Technique.

Often a euphemism for geriatric pipe forgetfulness.

Very Delayed Gratification Technique - vDGT. Probably works better with some blends than others, LOL!

Yep same here!

where as I always find it nasty and terrible when I try that.

I've gone as long as a couple weeks. I'll set a pipe down on my workbench and it'll get covered up. When I find it I'll fire it up to try and figure out what it was.

PS... If it was Irish Flake, I almost gag

Virginias work the best for DGT.

I’m bad about not finishing bowls on the first go round. My New Years resolution is to stop that, and to get better at eyeballing how much I set out to smoke…I’m always over by .1 or .2 g. But as a result I notice these leftovers taste fine 85% of the time. Of course if they taste bad I will dump it though

I’ve had some that were fantastic after a wait. But there are few I had that tasted like death.

I frequently smoke part of pipe at night and then return to it the following afternoon without any ill effects.

Don't manufacturers call that stoved tobacco?

nope

 

[B.Fee]

nope

Just a joke .

 

[Grangerous]

Do it often. I have three pipes half full (or half empty) that I’ll get back to in the morning.

I often load Pegasus into the Peterson so I seldom have to guess. Alliteration. P-P

Almost always taste great when I get back to them. Why waste tobacco?

 

[Searock Fan]

Some times, late at night, I just get so sleepy I decide to go to bed and finish the pipe the next day. Doesn't bother me at all. More importantly. I rule the pipe, it doesn't rule me.

 

[Coreios]

Now that I know it won't taste awful I may load more than one pipe smoke it then grab the other and put it back for later like leftovers.

 

[Steddy]

Huh, I haven’t tried this. Trying to smoke a leftover partially smoked cigar has always been nasty to me. I just assumed pipe tobacco was similar.

I’m probably not going to try this. To each their own. Whatever floats your boat or finds the lost remote.
