I’ve heard of and also tried this delayed gratification technique, but it’s not my jamb. Glad it works for you though!

That's actually impressive & makes me incredibly nervous.
You can see im leaning forward just in case! I did it for a minute but it isn’t comfortable and I burn my clothes enough as it is. Did I never mention how I caught my car on fire driving the freeway in the morning commute? LA traffic and not like I could just pull over real quick like! Napkins i keep between my seats igniting and filling the cab with smoke!
I have enough trouble with ashes getting out and burning holes in my clothes when I’m smoking a pipe the correct way… rain is not my issue, it’s wind and plenty of it.
Well, I had considered doing a pipe during the commute thing, but not anymore after hearing this…

Steam burns are no joke!
PSA: stop burning your cars and your clothes.

Well, then I guess I shouldn’t. I’d end up spacing out on some thought and drive into a wall or something. I can already see the officer asking his first question now, hey buddy watcha got in that pipe?

Lol, as the kids say.
This is truly The Way: give different things a whirl, find out what works for you. And prepared for that to change over time. Or not.

The pipe was 99¢???
I wish! No, the windcap. I meant to post as a reply to our brother who almost started his car on fire, lol.
How’s the wind cap working out? I forgot to throw one in last time I bought a few things. Does it help out any with the wind?
Yeah it functioned great, actually!
My complaint is that it’s difficult bordering on painful to grasp and squeeze the little ‘wings’ in and that could just be the particular one I have.
I was nervous about the inside ‘claws’ scratching my briar, but so far, with care and the limited use time, it’s not been an issue.
I would not feel comfortable using it on a meer. There may be better quality ones out there, though.
for countering the wind and allowing me to smoke safely and at a comfortable temperature, it did perfectly. And it was VERY windy.

I know this goes against all pipe ettequet but this is one instance I would use a torch lighter. Just don't burn the walls of the pipe. If you know what your doing it takes two drags to get a good light with a torch, sometimes one drag.
