Shame on me, but I have to admit, when a pipe is relit the next day, I love the experience of getting a nice if partial bowl of blend without having to pack a pipe. And I don't have to decide on which blend or which pipe. There's a lazy old dog in there with the border collie (that is, in my psyche). Dottle wouldn't make a good smoke I don't think, because it is all at the bottom of the bowl with moisture and filtered smoke.
