Think that pipe has gone out? Think again!

I don't get the upside down thing. I've heard of it, but never done it. How does the tobacco stay in the bowl?

Anti-gravity.

That explains it.

I call it combustion . I was told once its called something else Ive never heard of , to the point that i cant remember what the hell the word was . If there's a shred of life in the bowl , combustion can make it fire up if theres a chance at all . Uncle Jim knew what he was doing
My grandfather on my dads side was a wicked pipe smoker . It was the first time I ever saw someone smoke a billiard upside down in the rain and I thought that was bad ass and Ive been doing that ever since . I think Norman Rockwell did a portrait smoking a pipe upside down too [ ? ] Grandpa knew how to rip through a pound bag of black cavendish .. he was an animal

Fishing in the rain with my father, I witnessed the upside down pipe in action too.

So for the upside down pipe, what is the technique when packing so it all doesn’t fall out. Because I tell ya, cube cut doesnt work!

Ha - cube would not. With my father it would have been Half and Half, and he was a codger scoop man. I am claiming he did not do anything special. He also ONLY used matches.

For what it's worth, I just knocked loose ashes out of the Weber pot I am smoking and turned it upside down. It seemed to work pretty well that way and nothing fell out. Maybe I pack a little more firmly than some?

Yeah I did it wrong. The pipe was the same direction upward but I ended up upside down.

So, the idea is that one can smoke the pipe outside in the rain?

I’ll probably watch from under a roof somewhere
