Tobacco Retention Capacity in Pipes
The tobacco retention capacity in a pipe mainly depends on the type of pipe used. Pipes with a deeper combustion chamber can hold a larger quantity of tobacco compared to those with a shallower chamber. Additionally, the shape of the chamber and its design influence the tobacco retention capacity. It is important to properly fill the pipe, being careful not to overly compress the tobacco to ensure even combustion and a better smoking experience. The correct preparation of the tobacco and smoking technique further impact the tobacco retention capacity in the pipe.
