You're on a forum where folks keep up the archaic tradition of smoking tobacco in a pipe. I think weird covers many of us.

The original post poses a question about reducing heat and moisture. The ember in a pipe is a delicate matter and you want to keep the heat even. You don't want to puff like a train and get it too hot, so stop doing that, but don't go to cooling down a good ember. Moisture I'd control by drying the tobacco sufficiently. The only time I blow into the airway is when I'm cleaning a pipe, once I've scooped and wiped out the bowl, to clear loose dottle (used tobacco) or ash, into an ash try or waste basket (if the pipe is totally out).
When I hear gurgles, I blow back in gently and no more gurgles. I dont know the mechanics but I like that it works.
Er, well, it probably gets reabsorbed in the tobacco in the heel of the chamber. Future dottle, as it were. Do you frequently have a soggy bottom? (Bad pun intended for amusement only).
breath smoke most of the time. exhale through the pipe only to check it's still burning. some time don't do that at all. occasionally puff on it for fun. bit of cloud is fun to see.
I also have trouble clenching, breath smoking, and swishing the smoke in my mouth all at the same time.
I don't need to say anything about what you said, it stands well on it's own. However that avatar of one of cinemas great foxes is totally awesome. I should show you my fox tat.
