How not to burn your pipe
How not to burn your pipe? How to cool down a hot tobacco pipe?
The most widely accepted solution is to take slow puffs and slow down further if the pipe gets too hot. The bowl of a lit pipe is always hot, and to establish exactly what temperature "too hot" is without appropriate instruments is somewhat difficult. We resolved the problem in the following way.
When a pipe is being broken in, clasp it firmly with your hand from time to time and count slowly up to six. if you can do this, then carry on smoking in peace. If not, then stop until the pipe cools down sufficiently for you to continue.
This is not a long operation. Five to ten seconds usually suffice, and you wont' even have to relight your pipe. And even if the pipe does go out, there is no harm done. Light it again.
Many pipes burns are caused by smokers who, fearing that their pipe might go out, draw too often and too hard.
