I began using this technique years ago and some of our newer members might not know about it, When you think your pipe may be going out, cover the top of the pipe with a couple of fingers and puff real quickly taking your fingers on and off the pipe. It takes some time to get the rhythm but it works great

Good golfer, that Ken Venturi! Some time ago, there were several names given for the effect, in addition to Venturi, but I can't remember what. I know one was not the Carbonara Effect.

I admit the title of this tread had me doing a double take, hmmm, i guess I’m not the only one...

I saw one of the characters in LOTR doing it, the actual smoking technique I mean:), and I’ve used it for years... I certainly works
