Delayed Gratification

[wvloony]

this may have been asked before, but is it a bad idea to let a bowl rest during a session, say after a set of coals maybe 20 min, then start new coals and continue.

[CrimsonLycan]

it would depend on the bowl and tobacco being used. in my case i think its fine if using a small tangiers phunnel and tangiers tobacco.

well, i have been using a chinese funnel bowl, and smoking some af chocolate, it lasted me for about 4 hours, and i did just what i said, didnt really loose flavor during the session

[dizzbizz]

Well I think you answered your own question.

A rest is also a great way to cool down a bowl that's overheating (say, on Turkish pipes without a purge, but even on pipes with a purge, it's often more effective to take the coals off for a while)

I've smoked a bowl that was left over from the previous day and it still holds good flavor :)

I dont see any problems at all with leaving the bowl for like 20-30 minutes i do it sometimes, becuase i have kids that wake up at night. come back put new coals on and good to go.

yeah, nothing wrong with it! Some tobaccos (nakhla) doesn't re-light very well. other than that i've never had any issues

[Bawhee]

nak usually doesnt, but sometimes it does, like nak peach, relights great for me!
