I may have to prep some more Dark Plug, I only chopped half a bowl and I'm digging it already.

Probably a good think I only prepped half a bowl in this deep chambered pipe, I'm starting to feel the Vitamin N kick in in the pit of my stomach. Should have eaten lunch first, but still enjoying it.

Finishing that half bowl of Dark Plug as my roaster is cooling down to shut down, an hour an a half later. I'm glad I didn't load a full bowl of this good tobacco.

Could one of you guys direct me to a good link about pipe smoking? I am just looking into this but looks like a lot of work for such a small time of smoking.
Larry, you might want to check out the PipeSmokersDen forum for more info about pipes, but time isn't such a factor. I loaded half a bowl in my large Peterson XL-315 pipe of dark plug which smokes slower than normal ribbon tobacco and it was a one and a half hour smoke. I'm glad I didn't fill the bowl for this one. With pipes, you can pick up and lay down the pipe and smoke it the next day with no ill effects. In fact there's a technique called DGT (Delayed Gratification Technique) where you load and light a bowl and leave it for later, usually the next day, which allows the tobacco to dry out a bit for easier smoking. You can get smaller pipes and smoke ribbon or shag tobacco for shorter smokes or go for slow burning pressed tobacco (flake or plug rubbed out to smoke in your pipe) or use a larger pipe to get a longer smoke. You can smoke a pipe while you're working on something, like paracord pipe rests, and if it does go out don't worry, you can relight as often as you need. The basic advice goes something like this: pack looser, drier, and less tobacco than you think you need and smoke it slower than you think you can. The best flavor is when the tobacco is smoldering and just on the edge of going out.
