Smoking multiple bowls back to back

[NeverBend]

So as some of you know, my wife just bought me my first briar pipe. I finally got to try it out on Sunday, I loved it and then i finished the bowl and got to thinking "WOW! that was amazing" and wanted to pack another bowl. But then I got to thinking This thing is kind of warm. So my dumb noobie question: Is it bad to smoke multiple bowls back to back in a pipe? especially a new briar pipe?

Hi Jonathan,

Good question. You can smoke any pipe as many times as you like but I give my briars time off between smokes for best results. Letting a pipe cool completely is a good practice to minimize stress on the bowl, especially in a new pipe that has yet to develop any appreciable cake (bowl carbon).

I think that other guys can offer insight into cobs, meers and clays (etc.) and repeated smokes.
