I smoke a very limited number of aromatics. Some of my favorite weed, in no particular order; Nightcap, EMP, HH ODF, Dan BBBB, SPC offerings, GL Pease English offerings (Gaslight is awesome), Margate, Larry's Blend, AJ's VaPer... there's not many aros on the list but I do like Dan aros, FM Cellar and a couple others. 'Bout the only gooper I enjoy occasionally is PS Cherry BonBon and I usually mix that with a coin of rubbed out GH Cherry Twist and let it dry for the better part of a day.
The heel of every pipe I smoke is swampy looking, even smoking very slowly and starting with very dry tobacco. I'm starting to think 'smoking to ash' is just a mythI have a hard time believing I'm smoking too fast. Yesterday I got over 2 hours out of 2 coins of bullseye flake and there was still some left in the bottom of the pipe when I got back to the shop and had to abandon it to get some work done. I shook it out and it was starting to get pretty wet tho.
