Pipe Rest and Collection

[AroEnglish]

It depends on whether you smoke wet and leave a lot of dottle or you're a dry smoker leaving mainly ash

If you smoke wet, then despite the advice "you can smoke multiple bowls for a whole month......" you will be left with a sour pipe.
When I started smoking pipes years ago as an impoverished undergraduate I could afford just the one pipe and smoked mainly goopy aromatics.
You can guess the results.

I learnt that having a few pipes and letting them rest and dry out completely before smoking them again made a HUGE difference to my enjoyment.

If you are a dry smoker, there shouldn't be a problem smoking several bowls end-to-end in the same pipe

Sidetrack: How does one get a drier smoke besides smoking more slowly?

You mean in addition to drying the tobacco before loading the pipe?? Making sure the pipe itself is dry. Hard call.

Drying the tobacco well.
if I don’t have sufficient time to do that, I use some meerschaum chips or Nording Keystones at the bottom of the bowl.
