I know that some blends stop being nice after half the bowl...
HOWEVER...
It does seem that it's maybe mostly my fault.
I've been learning to enjoy lots of new blends recently, but somehow, regardless of the great flavours I get in the beginning and how awesome the blend is in the beginning of the bowl, after 15-20 minutes, let's say half the bowl, it's doesn't taste good anymore.
It feels hotter, it feels ashy, it doesn't taste good. And that's it for the rest of the bowl.
I've tried to let it sit for a while and get back at it an hour later but although it's a little better, it doesn't last longer than a few puffs.
The question is: is it possible that I am ruining all my bowls by my sipping speed?
I'm gonna be honest, I've been working on sipping extremely slow for months, I don't think I can sipping slower. However, when one walk or talks, one might not always be conscious of ones breathing and sipping rhythm.
I've noted that the circumstances when I smoke a biowl strongly influence the result:
1) alone, on a bench, no phone, maybe just music. Bowl can be really good all through, regardless of the rampant boredom.
2) same but walking, almost same result. Great bowl, mind is focused on the smoke.
3) same, with a phone, reading stuff walking or sitting, mind busy, I wont enjoy it as much.
4) working, talking with friends, being actually busy doing something else. Great beginning, but after some time, not good anymore.
As anyone felt the same? Being busy kind of spoils the fun and actually ruins the bowl.
