Oh, I may have it wrong lol!
Not sure where I heard this, but my understanding was it’s that period when you’re smoking your pipe and you’re past the char, into the bowl, and everything is going just right. “Chuffing along like a steam engine.” But with less smoke of course
“In the chuff.” ?
Ah! Here’s ole Eddie Gray with “in the Chuff.” It’s entirely possible this is where I heard it...

”...hear the gentle sizzle of a pipe that's "in the chuff," smell the aroma of a fine tobacco blend...”
Why Smoke a Pipe?
I consider the things that make pipe smoking worthwhile to me, and why I became a pipe smoker! Discover for yourself the enjoyment pipe smoking provides!

A noisy smoker could be said to be "chuffing." A steam engine chuffs. I've never heard the term with reference to tobacco pipe smoking.
Thanks man! I was gettin’ picked on!
I thought it’d be cool to have a thread with random interesting items to watch or read while enjoying a bowl
This is good lesson in how important a thread title is. The thread will likely now be mostly about "the chuff".
I hadn't heard it before either, so I looked it up.
It does mean "puffing" more or less, but I came across a slang meaning as well...probably better not to elaborate on that, but let's just say "in the chuff" could mean something very different lol.
Yes, steam trains chuff all right, and I guess some smokers chuff away pipe wise.
But I went to the adjective, as used mainly in the UK- being very pleased about something. "She was chuffed that Jack always did something to please her"; "He was chuffed that his new pipe arrived and was even better than he expected."

Chuffing? I think that's what happened when I hit puberty and my parents taped sandpaper mittens on me.
"When she discovered how much he'd spent on pipes and tobacco recently, Jack got no chuff for several weeks."
So, Jack apparently was put out that she didn't put out? So, poor lad, he wasn't at all chuffed.
