I understand it has more to do with moisture then heat building up.
Having said that I have read on these pages from Frenchy that he smokes
one of his LJ pipes all day for weeks at a time. dopealope wrote:
It seems to be pretty accepted pipe lore that one should "rest" a briar
pipe between smokings, although the times for this "rest period" seem
to vary widely. And although I've followed this technique for years,
I've lately begun to wonder about the reasons for this ritual. And,
being bored over the last few evenings, I've started measuring my pipes
temperatures before, during, and after using a my trusty laser
thermometer (more on the results later). Besides "cooling down", I'd
like to hear the other reasons, posters feel they must "rest" pipes
between smokes. Further, does anybody know of any quantitative study of
the reasons for this ritual ?
