Keep posting and only once got answers! Based in Dublin, Ireland. New to pipe smoking. Have smoked a few of my pipes to the point of them being very hot. Have then put them down to cool for fear of destroying my investment. Wondering firstly, if because they've gotten so hot are they ruined or should I just be be more careful in future? Secondly, have smoked tens of bowls in my peterson pipes and only gotten a great flavour (sweet, nutty) a couple of times - does this mean they are just taking time to break in and will eventually season?
