I finally got a pipe to stay lit for a while with only having to relight every 5 minutes or so (previously I couldn't keep it lit for even 20 seconds). I smoked some Escudo Navy De Luxe and really loved the aroma and flavor, I think it was the most enjoyment I've gotten from tobacco so far.
I put two coins' worth in and smoked for over an hour; when I stopped and cleaned out my pipe I saw that I had only smoked about half of the tobacco that I had put in it, maybe even less. Is this normal? I am still pretty inexperienced and know no pipe smokers in real life. While smoking cigars you usually end up only smoking about 2/3rds of the whole thing, is it about the same for pipes? For some reason I was under the impression that you're supposed to smoke the whole bowl down to white ash
