I've noticed that when the outside temperature is hot, my pipe stays lit better. I suppose it's basic physics. I'm not fighting against frigid temperatures.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Obviously, the moisture content of the tobacco plays a role, but I have wondered about the humidity level of the climate when smoking.
Having said that, It is really arid here in the southwest, I smoked a bowl of 1792 Flake a few days ago, and had quite a pile of matches that I sacrificed in the effort. I had dried it a bit in the microwave, thought that I had it just right... it was a warm 85 degree day but not hot.

Yes, I have noticed how it is a little harder to keep a pipe lit when winter camping!

I only smoke outside. I've noticed that on humid or rainy days its harder to get my pipe to smoke "right." Same with getting build up in the bottom of the bowl. In the south, as the temp climbs, so does the humidity. Hot and dry doesnt happen here very often.

That's interesting. I wonder if those who smoke at home don't experience much variation.

Being one of the Lucky Few,I get to
enjoy my pipes indoors with heating
and air conditioning.Both of which
tend to lower the ambient humidity.
So,in my case,I've not noticed any
issue from one season to the next.

With 4 distinct seasons up here, each one has a humidity shift and an effect on burn rate. Now through summer I use a fan, so no problem keeping a burn going. More a problem of burning too fast and I sometimes use a windcap indoors to counter it.

The temperature of that ember must be in the hundreds of degrees, and yet a shift in the outside temperature of about 10-15 degrees has such an impact. Others have mentioned %Relative Humidity, and to be fair, I didn't take that into account. I've not been measuring that, but it's always between about 70% and 80% here. |
