Nice Job brother!

How does piping off the rest affect the flavor? Never tried that before. Does it smoke well all the way to the end or is there a limit to how far down you would want to smoke it. i.e. only as far as you see in the pic above. Roger

Roger,

I'm a smoking junkie first off. When I'm sitting here, and I don't want a really nice cigar to end, I put it in the pipe, just to keep smoking, basically.

To answer your question directly, It does affect the taste, as you get down to the bowl. Plus, I haven't really cleaned my pipe out ever, so there's all kinds of tar & resin in there affecting the flavor.

Its still enjoyable, for me, down until it starts to "gurgle" in the pipe, and then I get whacked with a super bitter, nasty tar taste everytime.

Again, I'm just a smoking junkie.

As always, good informative review. I have a quick question, which I think I know the answer to; I just want confirmation. When you say nose exhale, you are referring to sort of shifting the smoke into the back of your mouth and blowing out your nose? Cause I really can't imagine the alternative.

As a cigarette smoker, I will very rarely take a full drag from my cigar, forget what I'm doing and inhale... then spend the next few minutes coughing uncontrollably with tears streaming from my eyes. Talk about ruining a good smoke. Fortunately, that's only happened a couple times.

Yep. That's what I'm talking about. I find I am probably doing it more than I should, but I enjoy it.

Thanks,

Try these next time - gets rid of the "super bitter, nasty tar taste"

Thanks for that. I used to smoke pipe many years ago. Everything you said made perfect sense. DUH on me! LOL. Would using a hemostat, pic above really work? How would you clip it without destroying the draw? Just nip the wrapper a bit and hope you don't burn your nose off? LOL. Just a thought. Roger.
