The Dump Test: How the Old Man Knew a Bowl Was Smoked Right

If you have ever finished a bowl and wondered whether you actually smoked it correctly, this video is specifically for you. The old men had a test for every finished bowl. They did not look inside the pipe. They did not ask how it tasted. They tapped it once. What came out told them everything they needed to know about how that bowl had been smoked. In this video I show you the Dump Test, what the three possible results mean, and how to use it to diagnose and fix the most common problems in your smoke. I'm Joseph Foy, pipe smoker for over 20 years from tobacco country, North Carolina. The farms are literally across the street.
