Aah! I begin to see now.... so it appears I have a jimmy pipe of my own. (Please don't laugh - I made it on the cheap from an old chunk of mesquite for the smoker...now it appears that I'm the smoker!)
I encountered a bit of that with the first bowl or two, then I tried that trick I'd heard of - mix some fine tobacco ash into honey, coat the inside of the bowl and let dry. Seemed to help considerably, but the experiment is ongoing and the data still being collected!

Trigger warning: early tobacco ads are racist..........

That is NICE😬.
Looks like it will burn some baccy though.
Who said they didn't have a wide variety of pipe tobacco back in the "older than us" days.
I wonder how many of today's blends are basically the same recipe as some of those old blends?
It would seem to me that mesquite would severely “flavor” the smoke, like making every tobacco taste like a “Latakia”? Yes/No?
