When lighting the pipe, the tobacco heats up quickly and starts to burn, generating hot air and combustion gases. These expanding gases create pressure inside the bowl, which can slightly lift the tobacco. This effect is normal and signifies that combustion is active. Furthermore, the structure of the tobacco, often airy and not overly compressed, facilitates this movement. To prevent the tobacco from rising too much, it is important to prepare it properly by pressing it with the right intensity and lighting it carefully. An excessively vigorous ignition or overly loose tobacco may accentuate this phenomenon. Understanding this aspect helps to better manage the pipe during lighting and maintain an even and enjoyable burn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"page-faq-new.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"class_list":["post-101860","faq-new","type-faq-new","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhy does the tobacco rise when lighting the pipe? | Savinelli<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The tobacco rises when lighting the pipe due to the expansion of hot air and gases produced by the initial combustion.
