Hi All —
Been wanting to try pipe smoking for some time. My uncle used to smoke them and I loved the way the room smelled.
I have never smoked, so I am not sure if I will like actually smoking as much as I liked being around it. So nothing ventured, nothing gained. I am going to go for it!
After watching some videos and reading some articles, I have collected:
- a MM corn cob pipe
- 4 oz of Lane BCA
- a few pipe cleaners
- a cheap tool
- kitchen matches
Reading advice on here and elsewhere, I seem to pick up on
- pack loosely
- smoke slowly
- keep it drier than you think
- don’t stress on relights
- it might take a few bowls to settle in the corn cob - particularly to burn the shank
- have fun and it might take some time to learn what I like
Anything I am missing? Any advice on what to pair with BCA by way of a drink?
TIA
