How far down do you smoke your bowl? Tell us why, too.

All the way if it's good.

I can usually smoke 90% of the bowl with one final relight. My larger bowled pipes can be deceptive though. Sometimes when I think that it's right near the end I'll dump the the bowl out only to discover about a fourth left.

My intention is always a complete burn. However, some blends/tobaccos/pipes never seem to want to fully cooperate with me on that.

All the way if it's good. Yep, and if it is not, there is no dishonor in dumping it out. No medals given for heroically smoking to the bottom. There are a few guys (or used to be) at the other forum that always smoked every bowl to a fine white ash, but I doubt they were honest. |

I’ll smoke it as far as it remains a good smoke.

All the way, if possible. Like Russ said, big bowls can be deceiving.

I follow the “keep smoking while it’s enjoyable” rule, as it seems most of us do. I used to try to finish all tobacco in the bowl, but after a number of scorched tongues, I don’t sweat dumping the remains once it becomes futile. Wasn’t it Sherlock Holmes who saved his dottle and smoked it once he had a full bowl? I imagine in older days that may have been a common practice.

A bowl full of saved dottle would probably have some serious nicotine content 😃 I wouldn’t expect much in the way of satisfying flavor though. |

Strong flavor, but it could have been worse. Not noticeably more nicotine. But I only did it twice. Just not worth the trouble. |

I used to have a weed pipe that had a chamber to pack weed into to filter the wacky tobaccy… you were then suppose to pull the chambered smoke to get an ethereal experience.
As you smoke a bowl of tobacco down, that filtering experience is not an ethereal one.
