What about half-smoked bowls?

[Briarcutter]

For scientific purposes, I smoked the same bowl for 10 minutes per day for four days. It was a straight Virginia blend.

Day one: glorious
Day two: equally glorious, no diminishing returns.
Day three: great but maybe not glorious. Could have been psychological as I was waiting for it to roughen up.
Day four: nearly unsmokable. Really rough. Not quite ashy, but tasted like charred tobacco. Quite unpleasant. When I dumped it, I’d say there was just under half a bowl remaining.

Interesting experiment, thanks!

Half smoked from last night.... no big deal, I just finish it off.
