A discussion: What do you do with the unburned tobacco (dottle) left over when you've finished smoking your pipe? http://snuffhouse.com/discussion/5644/ot-dottle (Holmes' disgusting habit is cited)
I just noticed my garage “ashtray” for pipe and cigar. It is not exactly a “Persian slipper”, more like a repurposed and “upgraded” herring can....lots of dottle......I ain’t smoking it😖
As an aromatic smoker I get more than my share of wet dottle in the bottom of the pipe. And even though I hate wasting tobacco, I can't imagine trying to dry out that soggy clump and re-smoke it at late. I guess if or when the zombie apocalypse comes around and tobacco becomes much more precious I'll be forced to resort to something like that. But for the time being dottle goes in the ash tray - then into the garbage.
Some aromatics are very moist and will leave a lot of dottle. Some burley tobaccos will smoke right to the bottom of the bowl and leave only white ash.
