Hey everyone, new to the fourms, and new to pipesmoking- I have MANY questions and im sure with that right amount of research I can find what im looking for, but at the moment I have a pressing matter~ (a few pressing matters)
I have a old corncob pipe I got from my old man, its cracked and isnt pretty but has alot of memories-
My first question now is this; Does a cracked pipe need to be retired, can it be repaired? is it even worth it? its my first and only pipe, but it is a cracked corncob hahaha.
My second question is, Why is my pipe smoking hot, is it more likely the cracks in the pipe? Am I smoking too fast? is it the tobacco? The only smoke ive done so far is a few 1 oz pack of captain black cherry but I have nothing to compare it to.
So aside from cheap tobacco and cracked pipes hahaha,
What is my next step- do you guys have any suggestions for future upkeep, and future tobaccos? should I think about upgrading to brairs? (does it even matter?)
So many questions so little time
Anyway thank you guys for your time, I appreciate it alot!
