PIPE THAT STAYS LIT!!!
Jeremy Memme
This may seem like a strange question... But does anyone know of a pipe
that stays light through out the whole pipe.... I realize if you pack it
properly it will stay lit, but does anyone know of one that you can leave
on the table for 10min and come back to it still burning????
Thanks...

The tobacco not remaining burning is, as much as anything else, due to the
fact that you are burning relatively pure tobacco. Cigarettes are manufactured
with a number of chemicals, among them being oxidants that promote the
continuous, even burning of the "tobacco" that they are made of. If you search
through Deja News, I believe you'll find a rather extensive thread from some
time back that discussed this in excruciating detail.

No. Why would you want it to? Just curious.

I read a pipe book from the library that said that it was common for
people to use burning embers. It seems they packed the pipe as usual
but instead of lighting it, they placed a burning ember on it. The
ember slowly burned to the bottom thus keeping the pipe lit.
Anyone know any more about this. It would be interesting to try. But I
feel that I would need a little more information. Such as what kind of
wood to use, and will it harm the pipe in any way?

Hmmm... now this leads me to wonder. Could the group devise
a pipe that would stay lit? Mabey something with some little
butane canisters and a bunsen burner in the bottom of the bowl?
Just a weird thought. :)

I'd guess you could expect it would burn a hell of a hole in your pocket.
Some charcoal has been available in chunks, rather than ground and pressed
into briquettes.
A second guess would be that this practice may have been common in
Bavaria, very wood-oriented, with covered porcelain bowls.

Maybe you should try setting the table on fire and then placing your
pipe on it? It would definitely stay lit then. :)

tobacco, pipe, fire, and _the smoker_. Without that vital puff of air
that breathes life into the pipe as smoke is drawn into your mouth,
the process falls apart and becomes pointless.
Besides, why would you want to waste 10 minutes worth of tobacco by
having it burning when you're not smoking it?

Jeremy,
Find yourself a moderately large briar with thick walls. It should have
a vulcanite stem, since this material allows for a greater aperture at
the bit than lucite. Next, have a qualified pipe repair person open the
pipe's airhole to 4mm.
Be sure your tobacco is not too moist and, if possible, stick with the
more natural blends. Pack the bowl properly, don't forget the "charring
light," and keep the ash tamped during the smoke.
This might work, and if not, there's no penalty for using a few
additional matches *8^)

Well, if you leave your hot water running for several minutes, there's a
better chance *that* pipe will be burning in 10 minutes than any one you've
lit with a match. Tobacco left unattended in a pipe may smolder for as long
as a minute to two, depending on how it was burning when you put it down.
Now, you tell me why you'd want to pick up a pipe after putting it down for
10 minutes and expect it to still be lit. a cigar won't do it. Cigarettes
will, but that's a whole other story.

Try tamping the pipe while puffing, this allows the tobacco to burn while you
are tamping, this could help keep your pipe lit, all the ash that is left
above the burning point will begin to suffocate the cherry if you don't tamp
it down. I tamp mine down about once every 6-10 minutes, and I can usually set
my pipe down for about 2 minutes without it going out.

Plus, that's ten minutes of smoking pleasure that you are missing.
Better let the thing go out and then fire it up again with wild cries
of delight when you see the pipe sitting there with half a load in it,
ready to smoke.

No, the once-very-popular porcelaine-pipes were afaik smoked as usual
pipes.

You might consider me a strange pipe smoker, but I would like a pipe that I
could sit with a book and puff on frequently at some points, and leave it
for a few minutes at other points. It's very distracting when your
reading a book and you have to re light. I would like a pipe that you can
go to a restaurant with a friend and get into a convo and not have to stop
half way though your sentence to puff and keep it lit.
Many people have brought up the fact that pipe tobacco has no additives,
and that's why many of us smoke pipes; the pleasures far surpass
cigarettes.
I wonder if it is the nature of the tobacco to burn like this, or is it
another factor such as lack of Oxygen.
Other suggestions of placing burning objects into the pipe have its merit,
but I would hate to sacrifice a change in taste for keeping the pipe lit.
Maybe the price to pay for such enjoyment has the consequence of having to
keep babying the pipe.
As I go to the pipe shop and as I look at my pipe I notice how wonderfully
basic the design and mechanics most pipes are. I wonder if it's possible
to make some changes to better keep the pipe lit?
Maybe this has already been done, and if so I would love to try that pipe.
If not, I'm up for any crazy challenge that is put forth.
Although if it is the nature of the tobacco to go out, because of no added
preservatives ,and no matter how you designed the pipe you would still run
into this problem, let us know….
Thanks for your help….

**That's as far as my good English goes
so bear with me**
What I usually do is first, crumble the
tobacco methodically for a minute or so,
then I fill only half of the pipe and light
it, when it is satisfactorily lit, I fill the
other half. This way the tobacco burns
from the bottom to the top and the pipe
stays lit for a quite long time, so much
so, that I can put it on the table while
reading and pick it up minutes later and
it will be lit.
hope this helps,
peace

Yes, it is the nature of "unadulterated" tobacco to go out rather quickly
if you do not fan the embers by drawing a bit. This is true for quality
cigars, as well as for pipe tobaccos.
Now you know.

I'm very new to pipe smoking, and am surprised that I seem to have to puff
almost constantly to keep a pipe alive. One puff a minute easily keeps a cigar
going, but if I let the pipe go for a minute (even 30 seconds, sometimes) it's
dead. I certainly don't mind re-lighting occasionally, but with even with
different types of tobacco, and different amounts of tamping, I seems that
pipes require pretty constant attention.
I guess this is just a difference in how pipes are smoked, as compared to
cigars? With cigars, you take a puff, then set down or hold the cigar for a
while before taking another puff. With a pipe, it seems you really should keep
the pipe in your mouth, kind of puffing as you breath. Does this seem like a
fair assessment?
Thanks for the input.
