Hello everyone ;D I am a beginner pipe smoker,would like to ask few questions
I agree with what everyone else has already said. Smoking a pipe is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable. If you are stressed or worried about how it will affect your health or if you're doing it wrong/having troubles with the pipe, then you may be better off not smoking at all. I really...- macabra11

Peterson 317
Congrats on the 317 min! I just got my first Pete in the mail yesterday (a 309 system) and it ended up being smaller than I expected. I still think it will be a great pipe for me because I like to clench, and this pipe seems to hang just right. So even though your 317 might be smaller than you...- macabra11

First off, welcome to the forum. You'll find there is a wealth of knowledge and guidance. If you have a question, just ask and you won't be disappointed! While it's not considered "sexy" by most, I would recommend getting a Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe. These pipes are cheap, light weight...- macabra11

Last Third of the Bowl
This entire thread makes me feel better about my experiences with the bottom third of the bowl. I thought maybe I was an anomaly! -
Help a newbie pt2. 1st light & problems
Most likely you were smoking a little too fast, but it could also depend on the size of your pipe's bowl and also how you packed it. Did you have to relight a lot or were you puffing hard/fast to keep it lit? You want to sip slooooooowly. Long, deep, slow puffs. Remember, you're not trying to...- macabra11

Hunting: Jackets, Pipes and a Watch
huntertrw: You make a good point about mounting the gun with a pipe in my mouth. Even though I clench on my left side and mount on my right, I believe my left arm would get in the way. Keeping my pipe case and some "Great Outdoors" back at the truck leaves me with something to do while checking...- macabra11

Hunting: Jackets, Pipes and a Watch
This article brings up an interesting topic – smoking while hunting. I would never smoke while hunting big game. To me, it just doesn't make sense. I was in the woods once and could smell cigarette smoke from a LONG ways away. It didn't take me long to spot the two hunters that were both having...- macabra11

Two New(Used) Estates..One Very Interesting
I like the Soren too. A Danish freehand is definitely on my "want list", and it looks like you found a good one for a good price. -
My First Peterson
Well alex, it is all your fault. I got the bug and couldn't resist bidding on a Peterson 309, and I won! It will be my first Pete also... -
My First Peterson
Yeah, we need to see a pic of you smoking it with a big smile on your face. Someday I will own a Peterson and would love to try one of their system pipes on my collection of aros. Happy puffing alex! -
Last PAD/TAD of the Year
Very nice. I believe I saw a Frankenbriar on ebay just the other day and thought it was kind of a neat pipe for October/Halloween. I, too, have been wanting to try a few of those baccys you picked up (Autumn Evening, Harvest on Hudson). And of course you can't go wrong with Molto Dolce. Nice...- macabra11

Use same pipe when retrying a tobacco?
Well that is kind of where I was going with the question sparks! lol My first thought would be that I should just stick to one pipe for a few smokes until I get a feel for it. However, if the pipe is part of the problem, then I may be shooting myself in the foot every time I light up. Chicken or...- macabra11

Use same pipe when retrying a tobacco?
When you guys try a tobacco for the first time and it doesn't go so well (might not have been dry enough, bad packing job, gurgling, multiple relights, etc), when you try that blend again do you use the same pipe as before? I know different pipe shapes, sizes, materials can greatly alter the...- macabra11

First Time Plumcake Smoker
Tried plumcake for the first time last night. I had a few problems with it staying lit, but I think that was because it wasn't dry enough and I probably packed it too much. Like others have stated, it started out just fine but about halfway through the bowl it started to bite and become...- macabra11
